Honestly I live in a district that is heavily democratic and as such I have met more Democrats (i.e. registered Democrats that tend to vote for Democrats) than I have registered Republicans at the tea party gatherings that I've been to. Those Democrats that I have talked to at any length seem have on concern in common, they are upset that their party has been hijacked by left wing progressive radicals, which oddly enough reminds me of the Republicans that were upset during the Bush years that their party had been hijacked by neocons and right wing religious radicals. It seems to me by far the biggest group at the gatherings were independents that vote based on the candidate and his/her views regardless of party.Once again, tea partiers are not necessarily Republicans, thus not the 'mouth' of anything other than their own opinions.
