Tea Party candidates could damage Republicans

  • 41 mins ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A new poll had good news and bad news for Republicans on Wednesday -- they lead Democrats in November congressional elections but would lose if a Tea Party candidate is included on the ballot.

The poll by Quinnipiac University said voters by 44 percent to 39 percent said they planned to vote for a Republican over a Democratic candidate in November, the latest sign of a rebirth of the Republican Party.

However, if there is a Tea Party candidate on the ballot, the Democrat would get 36 percent to 25 percent for the Republican and 15 percent to the Tea Party representative.

The poll was further evidence that the Tea Party movement largely draws from the Republican Party. It said only 13 percent of American voters say they are part of the movement.

Republicans have been working to find ways to absorb unpredictable Tea Party followers into their fold.

The poll found that 74 percent of Tea Party supporters are Republican or independents who lean Republican, while 16 percent are Democrats or independents who lean Democratic.

Like the ones running the country? The ones making bribes, twisting arms, signing bills that are going to bankrupt this country and we won't have to worry about health care because we'll all be worrying about whether we're going to even survive after taxes??? The ones signing bills just so they can have their "historical moment" and go down in history regardless of what happens to this country??? That kind of rational????? If only these people would grow a conscience and a brain...And God help us, they're "running" the show.
Good point! Nothing rational about our current - leadership -just the opposite.nm

Like someone who thinks they are in total control of their health - is rational?
[ In Reply To ..]
lol
We're all gonna die eventually...sm - nnn
[ In Reply To ..]
but, yes, some of us can control our health better than others or at least make an effort. No effort at all is what I witness daily and these are the people who seem to feel they can't live without health insurance, drugs, doctors, surgery, treatments, tests... Refusing to care for yourself and depending on drugs daily is about us unrational as you can get. Accidents are things we can't control but there are so many aspects of our health that can be controlled and most simply refuse to do so thinking that bad healh is inevitable. Bull!!!! It is that attitude that has taken us to this point. I resent the government telling me that I can't control aspects of my health, that I am doomed to be on meds and have to have treatments because I am too stupid to know how to take care of myself or that it doesn't work anyway. I know better and so do lots of doctors with brains who are not afraid to tell us how it's done (as if common sense shouldn't tell us anyway).
So, is that what they told you? You must be - special

or maybe it's the voices in your head. lol
Yes, I will address the behavior of the Tea Party Attendees - anon
[ In Reply To ..]
The Tea Parties and Tea Party attendees have been peaceful demonstrations led be peaceful people. They peacefully demonstrate, and sometimes a liberal will infiltrate and try to cause some ruckus, but he/she is usually identified and removed. And sure there will be SEIU thugs there to beat up the people at the peaceful events, but they can usually pick him/her out too.

To say otherwise without any proof is just another example of left-wing mass hysteria.

There, issue addressed. End of story. Good-bye
Well, my day is complete now, anon. - Seriously, I totally agree!.nm

What classic denial - so you think that there has not been any "misbehavior" by tea - party
[ In Reply To ..]
members that was not a setup? You are exhibiting the typical thought process of a paranoid conspiracy theorist. Be careful in groups of like-thinkers, that's when the schizophrenia and mob mentality is at the greatest risk of surfacing, and you people call it a party. LOL!

Thats just it. They care about the country, not a party - You just dont get it.. so why bother?nm

fascism is. Literally, it is a system where government runs businesses without owning them by threat of governmental force.

I first explained that fascism (national socialism) is just another form of socialism. Internationalist socialists bitterly reject this idea, but it is the truth.
