Only 28.8 percent of voters view the movement positively, with a scant 10.7 percent giving it "strongly favorable" marks.

The Michigan poll is consistent with national surveys showing the Tea Party's popularity plummeted to record lows after the shutdown, which was the brainchild of movement leaders like U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

But the news gets worse.

Right. Yeah, sure. Poll by “Lambert Edwards & Associates (LE&A) poll done by Denno Research.” Are they an arm of the Chicago Mafia? Or the Republican Establishment? Or both?

What kind of “women” are they talking about? Those from the ghetto? Lesbians? Druggies? Sharia women?

Susan who?

Susan who is a "reporter" with an agenda against conservatives, and specifically my congressman Tim Walberg.

Do a google search for Demas and Tim Walberg. She's obsessed. Tim must have turned down Susan for a date or something.
