Tea Party Loses Favor


A new Pew Research poll finds that since the 2010 midterm elections, the Tea Party "has not only lost support nationwide, but also in the congressional districts represented by members of the House Tea Party Caucus."

Key findings: "More Americans say they disagree (27%) than agree (20%) with the Tea Party movement. A year ago, in the wake of the sweeping GOP gains in the midterm elections, the balance of opinion was just the opposite: 27% agreed and 22% disagreed with the Tea Party."

"Throughout the 2010 election cycle, agreement with the Tea Party far outweighed disagreement in the 60 House districts represented by members of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus. But as is the case nationwide, support has decreased significantly over the past year; now about as many people living in Tea Party districts disagree (23%) as agree (25%) with the Tea Party."

4. Too bad the media..
and a lot of so called Dems keep trying to pretend that they were ever a force to be reckon with. They have always been a group of silly ass people who were/are angry because a black man became President.

The media and the Dems also have been following their shitty agenda for the past few years about the deficit,we have been hearing that shit for years but now it is sooooo very important.

Remember"we got to cut the spending" which is/has been making things worse because the media is listening to the people who have been benefitting from the bush tax cuts and the money stolen in Iraq...some of which many of them probably have gotten a piece of themselves.

6. Low voter turnout in 2010 helped them get into power, If people
go to the polls in high numbers next year, we can kick them out.

8. The problem we seem to have is..
that the heads of the DCCC,DNC or whoever don't seem to be doing a damn thing to get people to run against them I have been writing these people demanding they get some people to run against them.

The so called Democratic party seems to be run by bluedogs and republicons.
