I think most people have the idea that their going after democrats and big government. But to me the real people they're ousting are Republicans who were too liberal spending wise.

Especially after watching yesterdays primary results. They seem more to be a referendum on the Republican Party....than anything else. They're taking spots where older traditional republicans had run.

The democratic base will still be the democratic base.
 
the tea party was cool when it was spontaneous but it has grown into a gop monster that i wont support
 
Outright crazy? 20-30

Run of the mill lunatics? 30-60

The rest are just normal fiscal conservatives too blind to see the shit show around them.
 
I treat TeaBaggers with the same level of credibility as an adult with his shoes on the wrong feet.
 
Let me look that up in my book of unreferenced statistics which you will never see....

I'd say roughly:
10% are legitimately crazy.
20-25% support it for some illogical reason.
35-45% were sane republicans supporting people that hate democrats.
20-30% were fiscal conservatives there with legitimate gripes.
*total range is dependent upon categories.
 
Generally speaking I think you're right. The real question is whether or not they have enough legs to oust democrats that are in power.
 
When you think about it, this is a good thing. Before there is any differentiation between the parties fiscally, there has to be a party that doesn't spend like crazy people.

The rest can work itself out.
 
I like to break it down race by race...I don't think I'd broadly support any platform/party/movement.
 
One that runs on getting the current pieces of shit out of office to replace them with people who will actually run in cutting budgets...that's a platform I can support.

Chris Christie is awesome.
 
History suggest current pieces of shit will be replaced by newer pieces of shit.
 
Well lookie here, not only are the Democrats rising in polls while Republicans are falling but the independent "Tea Party" voters are just as apathetic as the Democrats.

You know, assuming they aren't really Republicans in disguise like I've been saying all along...
