Disgruntled Democrats join the Tea Party - CNN.com

Grand Junction, Colorado (CNN) -- They are not typical Tea Party activists: A woman who voted for President Obama and believes he's a "phenomenal speaker." Another who said she was a "knee-jerk, bleeding heart liberal."

These two women are not alone.

Some Americans who say they have been sympathetic to Democratic causes in the past -- some even voted for Democratic candidates -- are angry with President Obama and his party. They say they are now supporting the Tea Party -- a movement that champions less government, lower taxes and the defeat of Democrats even though it's not formally aligned with the Republican Party.

Hmm...

Republican plants?

In any case we discussed this a couple of days ago didn't we?

I'm beginning to believe that democrats might be realizing that the democratic party isn't a liberal party anymore which is why a lot of them either become libertarians, conservatives, or just remain silent in their party.

CNN is reinforcing the point, which is surprising, no?

Either that or they're actually infiltrating .

One of the ladies didn't vote for Obama, wasn't their only one or two who actually voted for him in the orginal article?

If the Democrats are going to lose party members/supporters, it's good for them when they lose them to the Tea party, whatever that is, where they then contribute to the split on the right.
