More than 4 in 10 Republicans identify with the tea party?

That’s got to be the highest since 2010, at least. Thank you, Sen. Cruz, Lee and Paul.

Meanwhile, I think we’ve got to the nub of the GOPe anger.

finally, now we’re getting somewhere, 37% is a good start. I thought it never get below 40%

Political and Racial loyalty goes out the window when you start telling leeches that there is a cost to "free stuff" and they will be required to pay up. Probably the first time in Millions of Freeloading American's Lives they are required to pay for something. HEll yes they are going to get mad. I wish the Exchanges were fully functioning. So Everyone that got online to sign up could see what it is going to cost them. Iam beginning to think that is exactly why they aren't working. They are deliberatly attempting to keep sign ups to a minimum, knowing the bad PR real people with real numbers causes. Once we get past the Debt Limit and CRs they will magically all work.

A sure sign that even Obama’s supporters are starting to wake up and smell the coffee.

Rush had a good take on this. A lot of Obama supporters were under the mistaken delusion that under Obamacare healthcare was going to be "free" like in Canada or England. However, they found out when they tried to sign up last week, that they actually had to PAY for the insurance, in some cases to the tune of $500+ a month and then STILL be responsible for high deductibles and co-payments. Now they feel like Obama screwed them because they are either going to be forced to pay for what they thought was free or they have to pay the fine/tax. Either way they are losing money...

NOTHING in this life is free. NOTHING.

The Dictator in Chief will take his Gestapo goons (Dingy, Eyeballs, Babs, DiFi, et al.) in Congress down with him. Backlash is here. It has become the Occupant of our WH and his ilk against the American people. The slime has risen to the top for one and all to see and smell.

NOW.. if the press is saying he’s at 37 percent.. I would actually put it closer to 30.

Yes, I like your post, and you are probably spot on. IIRC, Bush slid to what 28% or 22%?

If he is closer to the 30% you mention, he is now reaching that dreaded Bush valley of approval that helped him loose the House and Senate in 2006...

I smell history not repeating, but potentially rhyming, 2014 could be a good year...

That’s why I don’t understand why these other Dim politicians are allowing Obama to play games with the barricades, death benefits, national parks, etc. They will be the ones feeling the wrath of the voters.

Not only is he losing Independents.. but he is also suppressing his base.

Now you have to add in voter fraud..

“Then you’ve got about 10 percent wacko crowd who actually believe what this freak says.”

I hate to say it but I’ve got two daughters that could be included in that figure—grand daughter also.

The sons have more sense.

I spoke to my CPA wonks better half to confirm something I heard from a Tax Pro Calling in Glenn Beck Yesterday...

The $95 penalty? It is a Canard...

Their is a formula, something like 1% of you AGI then X the number of exemptions in your household.

It takes not a lot to get the penalty to thousands of dollars.

People are going to be pissed @ tax time this year, IMHO it may get ugly...

The American public is stupid. They don’t know what exactly is going on, but they don’t like the negativity, and they are finally beginning to tie it to Obama.

The wrath against these Gestapo-style vermin has already begun. I have a RAT neighbor who can’t stand his Royal highness occupying our WH any more than we do. RATs are leaving the Liberal ship. The Royal Elitists in DC are screwing with our military, their grieving families, our veterans, the elderly, etc. and their arrogance makes them think there will be no backlash and no payback? Why, because they think we’re powerless against them, LOL, more proof that Liberalism is a mental disease.
