Rasmussen: 48 percent of Americans are extremists [in Chuck Schumer’s Eyes…]
Washington Examiner ^ | April 05, 2011 | David Freddoso

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters say when it comes to the major issues facing the country, their views are closer to the average Tea Party member as opposed to the average member of Congress.

Just 22% say their views are closest to those of the average congressman. Even more (30%) aren’t sure.

“Even more (30%) aren’t sure.”

And that is why we are in danger of losing our Republic. 30% of the people aren’t sure, have no clue, or don’t care, but a good number of those morons vote.

Half of the people are extreme?

Doesn’t that violate the notion of the meaning of the word “extreme?”

We agree on their mental capability to analyze social/political/economic phenomena. But I prefer to call them "dysrons," which I define as people who may have normal or even above average IQs, but who function at the analytic level of morons because of their compulsions, fears, etc..

On the subject of Chuck Schumer's eyes? Who can ever forget those rat like orbs in the Congressional Hearings on The Clintonistas burning women & children alive at Waco, when as a Congressman, he enthusiastically defended Janet Reno & the ATF. He is the last "man" who ought to be trying to define who is "extreme."

I bet most people who associate themselves with the Tea Party don’t thing of themselves as extreme, no would they be ashamed of being called extreme for their beliefs. An extremest wants, limited, fiscally responsible government that adheres to the Constitution and preserves liberty.
