Tea party support "circling the drain"

Tea Party Support Dwindles to Near-Record Low

Fewer Americans now describe themselves as supporters of the Tea Party movement than did at the height of the movement in 2010, or even at the start of 2012. Today's 22% support nearly matches the record low found two years ago.

Gallup | Tea Party Support | Opposition | near-record

Un spun-btw there is already a thread on this.

"Be afraid, be very afraid.

Update: If Gallup wanted to be completely neutral, it could have written its headline as “Support and Opposition to Tea Party Stable.” Instead, Gallup’s anti-Tea Party spin is being picked up gladly at outlets such as TPM."

It's the standard practice now to lead with a bullshit headline. The Axelrod way.

The thing that bugs me the most about these socialist, Obama leg humpers is that they are flippant, and smug. They actually believe that the slime they worship is going to take complete control and make this place like France or Germany. I got news, ain't going to happen.

Meh...its going back down to where it was in the first place before it was hijacked by band wagoners.

I hope both extremist circle the fucking drain for America's sake. We need to start building America again without tarring it apart.

If the tea party ever wants to grow some nuts and fuck some shit up!!!! ...then I'll be right there with them!

How about instead of calling Mark Levin to remind people that Obama's middle name is Hussein, you storm your city halls and take that shit over!

 

[ScienceRocks]

I think Chris Christy would be a good president

Someone both parties can work with and heal America.

Namely the US Government.

Actually, yeah. That's what the origin of the quote is - he was talking about America as a whole.

I am quite familiar with that quote in particular. Among other such quotes.

It's equally applicable to any "cause", though.

I'm not claiming anything partisan about this, by the way.

I have actually actively participated in turning left wing "causes" into "businesses".

You are?! Man...you are so cool and smart and stuff. I know it because you never let a moment go by without telling us.

"I am quite familiar with that quote in particular. Among other such quotes."???

Were you afraid that someone would think that the Doc was teaching you something? Is it vital that others think of you as a repository ( or in your case supository ) of famous quotes? How strong was the impulse to make that post? Is it something that you can control?
