Illinois Rep. Halvorson: Tea Partiers are 'Fringe'

Attention citizens of Illinois 11th Congressional District. If you have attended a Tea Party event or are inclined to support them YOU are a "fringe" element according to your Representative, Debbie Halvorson.

Halvosron's office told CBS News Channel 2 in Chicago, "The voters in the 11th District are not easily influenced by the rhetoric of fringe organizations like the tea party."

On the other hand, Halvorson's opponent is very appreciative of the support he's gotten from tea party groups. Adam Kinzinger (www.electadam.com) has been very much in touch with the tea party movement having attended some events and worked with them to get the word out there about his campaign.

But the solid fact remains, Illinois, that your representative in Congress dismisses you as a fringe element. I'd say that this flies in the face of the facts on the ground when we have protests that country over that regularly turns out thousands of attendees...

This TEA Party "fringe" is about 70% of the voting population.

The hard-core commie fringe is less than 20%.

The RINOs-without-a-clue fringe is about 10%.

I say, "Let's hold some elections."

There are two very strong TEA Party candidates running in suburban Chicago districts. Kinzinger is outstanding- articulate, conservative and Iraq war vet. Joe Walsh in IL-8 is taking on Melissa Bean and is presently running 1 point ahead. Both of these men could use donations to their campaigns. It would be a great message to send to pick off two D seats in BO’s home State

I revel in the hatred of the likes of Halvorson.
