Can someone tell me the percentage of voters that support the Tea Party ideals of America? I also ask if there are any reputable poling companies. It was once said that Rasmussen was the best, but I later heard that he is a Dimocrap...I dunno.
Rasmussen was let go by his own company. He’s been gone for months now.
In early 2011 after the Tea Party routed Washington and State Houses, the number of people that identified with the Tea Party or its ideals was estimated at 70 million. This data was taken from the exploding donor lists to various Tea Party groups. It was a huge shock to the political establishment to see that the Tea Party could raise more funds in one day than the establishment could raise in more than six months.
Over time the intensity of the donations to Tea Party groups subsided and this prompted the liberal NY press to pronounce the Tea Party as dead but that was a lie. Then there ensued a childish smear campaign against ‘Tea Baggers’ and this failed also.
The Tea Party was comprised and still is of republicans and independents and blue collar democrat conservativces, the so-called Perot faction or Reagan democrats.
Because the Tea Party is amorphous and splintered into hundreds of groups without a hierarchical chain of command, it is difficult for the ruling class and their media to estimate the strength of the Tea Party movement; they are left confused.
Ted Cruz talks about a coming political tsunami and I believe he is exactly right. Liberal media is losing readers and viewers year over year and their pollsters have lost credibility and are increasingly ineffective at shaping public opinion.
But the Left can still win if they succeed in picking the republican opponents for 2014 and 2016. For example, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan etc. These types of candidates promoted by the leftist media and chosen by the establishment ruling class will cause conservatives to stay home or not vote for anyone other than local conservatives. The non-votes of the 6 million + strong Perot blue collar voting bloc is what sunk Romney. So the ruling class is pinning their hopes on discrediting all candidates that have the loyalty of the Tea Party such as Ted Cruz.
It’s simple if you believe in the Constitution,individual liberty,freedom you are a tea partier,it is as simple as that.
If someone says I am not a tea party person,then ask if they believe in any of those ideas,if they say yes,guess what,they are tea partiers
There must be a better way to predict the next Presidential selection - so I looked at the “last name” attraction quotient.
18% one syllable:
Polk, Pierce, Grant, Hayes, Taft, Ford, Bush, Bush.
54% two syllables:
Adams, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Tyler, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, Johnson, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Truman, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Clinton.
28% three syllables:
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Van Buren, Harrison, Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Obama. That's all I got;)
People who support the TEA Party ideals are roughly the same percentage of people who supported Ronald Reagan.
TEA Party ideals follow closely to the ideals written into the Republican Party Platform, which establishment Republicans hate and work hard to marginalize.
I would challenge anyone to download a copy of the Platform and check it against TEA Party ideals.
Our problem is that we don't yet fully realize how much truth we really own.
When dem organizations are corrupt they twist things to favor democrats. If they say something nice about Democrats it’s probably NOT that good. If they say something good about Republicans the truth is probably much better...
