A new Rasmussen poll finds that the tea party movement's popularity is growing, so much so that it garners more support than the Republican party on a generic Congressional ballot. The poll hints that the burgeoning discontent among conservatives within the GOP threatens to splinter the party at a time when the popularity of President Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress are waning as we head into an election year.

Tea Party Conservatives should become an organized coalition within the Republican Party. It is the avenue to control.

The poll more than anything else demonstrates the need for unity on the right. Divided we will accomplish nothing. Working together, 2010 is shaping up to be a great year.

The Republican Party took my vote for granted for the last time years ago. I haven’t voted for their RINO in a pigs blanket since at least 1996 when the party left me. Want me back, then act like it!

Look for George Soros to bankroll a Tea Party come 2012 in order to ensure his man in D.C. is reelected. How many here will be foolish enough to unknowingly do his bidding?

Last time I looked, 36% still easily beats 23%. A Tea Party = Obama second term. Don’t be a Soros dupe. Vote Republican.

As usual for those with no logical rebuttal, you stoop to ad hominem. 36% > 23%

If things continue as they are, america is headed to CWII or worse. A successful third party might actually be a way to avoid that. The republicans have proven themselves useless time and time again.
