How many tea-party supporters voted for Obama?
Hotair ^

Posted on 11/10/2012 6:45:45 PM PST by chessplayer

A footnote from the national exit poll that I missed earlier this week. Note to the 11 percent: You’re doing it wrong.

Reuters/Ipsos conducted its own exit poll, based on a massive sample of 40,000 people, and got basically the same result — 12 percent of those who “identify strongly” with the tea party pulled the lever for four more years.

Going by the hatred for Romney that some in here expressed, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if a substantial number of conservatives voted for obama out of spite or revenge. Or to see the country totally destroyed

I don’t believe that number at all. They are liars who hate the tea party.

Lots of liberals call themselves “tea Partiers”. At least two here in Michigan were far left marxists convicted of election fraud stemming from their string of fake “tea party” candidates in 2010.

Then, there’s this problem with Democrats ~ they tell lies particularly lies that can harm Republicans. I’m not surprised that a lot of Democrats would lie about having a TEAParty affiliation.

Chill.. Think you are over analyzing.. As seen on Jay Leno street interview, people will pretend to know something.. If asked do you like tea party..they will say yes. strongly? sure.. They might not know what tea party is or stands for...
11% is just about right..

The big problem is that fewer people voted for Romney than McCain. Which means a lot of people stayed home.

Romney expressed considerable hatred to lifelong Conservative Republicans.

Some folks think that deserves a response.

Ah, Obama was targeting these conservatives when he asked voters to vote for revenge!

Michigan Dems Charged in Forging Fake Tea Party Election Documents

Anyone who thinks the democrat/media attempts to manipulate and divide conservatives have stopped, is an idiot. Personally I think they have seen their opportunity and ramped up their efforts massively since the election.

I’m a supporter of the Tea Party and I’d never,ever,*ever* vote for a Rat.If my **mother** was running for office as a Rat...ANY office...I wouldn’t vote for her.Staying home is the very worst I’d ever do.These stats are very suspicious to me.

Don't forget that approx 2.5 million people die each year in the US.

Old white Republicans are being replaced by young non-white Democrats.

http://www.commerce.gov/sites/default/files/images/2010/december/totalpopulationbyage2010.jpg ~ they’re dead Jim ~ the Boomers are passing quickly ~ just like everybody else does as they get older. New registrations haven’t kept up to previous numbers of voters. Obama lost more than twice as many voters!

Paultards claim that they invented the Tea Parties. Is that who you’re talking about?

old black Democrats are passing at an even faster rate than the old white Republicans though, and the old gays? They’re long dead!

I did some research and Mitt said he could be compared to William Weld. Mitt also expressed a strong dislike for Jesse Helms, and here’s the reason:(it seems Weld was also a big RINO) You would have to be to be nominated by a Democrat.

Weld resigned the governorship after being nominated United States Ambassador to Mexico by President Bill Clinton. He was never confirmed by the United States Senate, however and hence never served as Ambassador. This was due mainly to opposition from Senate Foreign Relations committee chairman Jesse Helms, who refused to hold a hearing on the nomination, effectively blocking it. Though both were Republicans and though that party held the majority in the chamber, Helms objected to Weld’s moderate stance on several social issues.

Roadtrip! They need another wakeup call reminder. I think it’s time to make another trip to DC with all my fellow TP patriots.
