Couldn't find it posted yet. Looks like the left's propaganda lame stream media attack on the Tea Party is having some effect.

I blame the opportunistic attention whores for latching on the the authentic grassroots movement to make a name and a buck for themselves.

There are problems with people who have assumed they are the leaders of the Tea Party. They don’t speak for me. They also have endorsed a number of awful candidates throwing elections to some really hardcore liberals in the process.

.7% of the US population is Muslim and probably 90% have a negative view of them.

1 or 2% of the US population is gay, and probably 60% or more have a somewhat negative opinion of them.

.03% of the US population is a lawyer and 99% have a somewhat negative opinion of them.

Yet, look how DAMN influential they are!

Oddly enough, the hate is singularly aimed at “undecided” voters, that small, ignorant bunch who totally ignore the news, as well as committed Democrats who are easily persuaded that every other white person is a Klansman.

It isn’t going to persuade any but the most gullible among the Tea Party, because nobody is going to be persuaded that Tea Party “leaders” are evil, mostly because there really aren’t any Tea Party “leaders”.

The Tea Party is the wave of the future precisely because it does not have a tradition hierarchical organization, but is instead more like a matriarchal organization, with “everyone a leader, and all decisions by consensus”. Members of congress supported by the Tea Party are supported only because of their individual words and actions, not because of party affiliation or empty promises.

Such an organization is based on the abilities of individuals, and their ability to persuade others with intelligent argument, not lock step on anything except general principles, like patriotism, and balance in both government and economics.

This makes it extremely hard to attack, vilify, or use the politics of personal destruction against. So the enemies of what the Tea Party stand for are resorting to nonsensical, bizarre and off-putting curses.

What this means is that the MSM and the DNC have made strides to demonize the Tea Party as dangerous extremists.
Doesn’t make any difference that it is Illogical and contrary to reality.
This is one of those things that can and I hope will backfire on the Liberals.

47-50% of the population don’t pay income taxes and most collect benefits and/or services from the government. I can see how they may not like the tea party.

Leaving 57% who identify as TP. That is an increase of 20% in about a year. With a 0 loss and a net gain of 10% from the neg we should see TP support at 65-70% by election.
Not bad for an unaffiliated, leaderless, populist, grassroots movement hell bent on getting rid of socialism in all its manifestations and returning us to Constitutional government. This bunch of extremists are already representing the majority and it will only continue to grow.

Tea Party is a political philosophy a mind set not an organized political party.... Why didn’t they ask the real question do your beliefs align more with the ideas of the TEA party or are you a MARXIST ? ....

Democrats are Marxist’s there is no denying it any longer the Health Care debate and Obama’s out of control keynesian economics prove it, Obama and the left are enslaved to the radical socialists and communists in their party. Centrist Democrat is a fantasy.

That’s why there is a TEA party...

Government is taking too much money from the people and wasting it on programs that do not work, are unsustainable and are destroying the U.S. economy, does anyone deny that?

Adm Mullen CJCS said “The national debt is the biggest threat to our national security” Obama is the cause of this massive debt so therefore he is a threat to our national security.

TEA PARTY PATRIOTS...

43% Now View 'Tea Party' Label As A Negative

That sounds about right. It's why the economy went off the fiscal cliff.

That accounts for all the leeches and parasites of the American economy :

Public Union Employees at all levels
State, and local union "Contractors."
The public welfare industry.
The Public welfare recpients the "entitlement" army which pays no income taxes.

I had thought those would total to more than 43%.

TEA PARTY = TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY
