Having 18% of voters who are active and dedicated is a huge voting block.
They wish. We have not yet begun to fight!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
Although the MSM has done a very good job of trashing our brand name, most of America agrees with us on the issues.
This poll is unadulterated propaganda. Its purpose is to mold opinion and not to reflect opinion about the size of the Tea Party. The only poll that matters to date occurred in Nov. 2010. The next poll that matters will be taken in Nov. 2012.
WaPo should know all about “shrinking”.
Poll the Tea Party's issues, and the public overwhelmingly supports them.
Well, gee, in NY how many would buy the Times if it said the Tea Party was doing great;)

WaPo writer spinning a NYTimes poll- it’s all in the family ...
Hey Greggie! Shut the hell up. We’re just regrouping and reloading there dumbass! And you know what you can do with your fixed New Yawk Slimes “poll”.
I think "someone" hears the Jaws Theme in their head..
They might need a bigger toilet to throw money into..
Enough said.
MSM needs to get over their demographic agenda of herd mentality.... Voters , conservative voters at least do not need a rally or convention to prosper an exist.
We vote with our time an dollars between elections an make sure we take a few like minded folks to the polls on election day.
We don’t presstitute myths ...we vote.
Stay Safe Steelfish !
My poll : Out of a total of 18,412, "Do you consider yourself to be a supporter of the TEA Party philosophy?
Yes - 17,988 - 97.7%
No - 424 - 2.3%
It was a little tight there for a while, but the results speak volumes.
The Tea Party is amorphous. There is no recognized leader or spokesman.
But if the “Tea Party” were to have another tax day rally like it did in 2009, there would be a good turnout.
And if the Tea Party had a true representative, a real candidate who wasn’t just using the name of the Tea Party to try to get support from conservatives, there might be more people rallying to the Tea Party banner.
If the Republicans marginalize or alienate the Tea Party (as some such as Col. Allen West have unfortunately done), they may find that there is a third party to contend with.
When the level of frustration gets high enough, when Republicans continue to act like Democrats, and at the same time take support of conservatives for granted (”Where else can they turn?”), the time may come when splitting is the only choice left.
We may have to test the New York Times survey in the real world.
The American Revolution
Holy war on behalf of liberty and freedom
To secure our liberty and freedom, the Founding Fathers declared independence and fought the American Revolution based on certain First Principles, including protecting unalienable rights, limited government, and the Social Compact.
Prior to the French and Indian War (1756-1763), the colonists possessed substantial autonomy and individual liberty flourished. Following the conflict, the British Empire strongly challenged that autonomy and liberty, and also resolved that the colonists directly pay taxes into the imperial coffers to help reduce the huge debt incurred in the war.
When the Founding Fathers resisted these taxes on the principle that Parliament did not possess the authority to tax the colonists, Britain attacked and denigrated colonial self-rule, declared colonists subject to any act of Parliament, re-imposed internal taxes, closed colonial ports, dissolved colonial representative assemblies, reorganized colonial governments, evaded the right to a jury trial when enforcing its policies, occupied colonial towns with imperial troops quartered in colonial homes, shot colonists, and declared the colonists in a state of rebellion.
The Founding Fathers understood the Empire’s oppression as a direct challenge to limited government, the Social Compact and unalienable rights. To save their liberty, the Founding Fathers revolted. Founding Father Patrick Henry explained that America rebelled for “the holy cause of liberty”

This is where we stand today. Tea Partiers are uniting in the cause of liberty. The liberals wanted war, now they have one. Let’s roll!!
I believe this because the MSM doesn’t have an agenda and poll numbers are never wrong or skewed.
Heavy flak = over target
[The fact that it isn't true makes it even sweeter.]
They wish the “Tea Party” is shrinking. It is going to swallow them in 2012.
