...tend to be older than Republicans generally.

What is the age limit to be a Republican?

[Julia H.]

Yesterday, we were ignorant trailer trash. Today, we’re rich, overeducated snobs.

If you’re going to play the smear game, at least get your smears straight.

[Recovering_Democrat]

heh. ain't it amazing how the NY SLIMES comes out with this the day before Tea Party activism again?

How about THIS for a "Hussein Cultist Poll":

Poll Finds Hussein Cultist Devotion Rooted in Issue of Class

Hussein cultists are poorer and more less-educated than the general public, tend to be Democrat, black, female, and single, and their strong devotion to Hussein is more rooted in fantasy and race than about political ideology or any amount of critical thinking, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

That's because WE ARE TAXPAYERS !!!

The producers are tired of paying for the non-producers and government waste!

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah. NY Times/CBS do their polls by deciding what outcome they want, then generate questions to support that outcome.

Once that is done the pollsters start calling and asking pre-qualifying questions until they get the demographic that will answer the questions in a way to support that predetermined outcome.

So the poll is worthless and serves to divide our efforts to change this country back to what out founders has envisioned which is to adhere to the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Some defended being on Social Security while fighting big government by saying that since they had paid into the system, they deserved the benefits.

Others could not explain the contradiction.

I'd gladly take back all my FICA payments adjusted for inflation and give up the "benefits".

Younger tea partiers are busy working their butts off to pay the bills. The older tea partiers have the time to attend the rallies. Bad sampling methods...

[SunkenCiv]

Tea party supporters are wealthier and more well-educated than the general public, tend to be Republican, white, male, and married, and their strong opposition to the Obama administration is more rooted in political ideology than anxiety about their personal economic situation...

Speaking of "more rooted in political ideology than anxiety about their personal economic situation":

"All my friends are rich leftists who have never held jobs -- other than Soros, who's worked hard to fleece rich folks out of their money, and gone to prison for it."

[Bryan24]

Let’s cut to the chase here and speak some truth.

The Tea Party Movement is made up of mostly, but not all, of middle and upper middle class people. Most ARE white.

The truth?

The Tea Party movement is the reaction of people to the government taking their money and giving it to people who don’t work, or, giving it to peple who don’t need a handout.

We’ve had enough.

God told the Children of Israel to set aside 10%. That 10% took care of the government and the religious activities.

If 10% (income taxes + SS Tax) was good enough for God, it ought to be good enough for the Federal Government.

[ICCtheWay]

As long as the enemy doesn’t know us - they cannot defeat us...

Random shots by the uber-left media - all misfires and misdirected - not hitting anything... all the while bemusing Tea Party folks - laughing at the leftists.

What the Progressive Leftists cannot understand is that the more they slam the Tea Party Movement - the more they lay out snide remarks, the more they deride us - THE MORE ACTIVE AND DETERMINED we get...

BOTH HOUSES IN 2010 ... Bye Bye Progressives - Bye Bye Reid - Bye Bye Pelosi — and WATCH OUT Mr. soon to be LAME DUCK OBAMA...

Did the NYT cover the Gallop Poll that showed much different numbers?

[Wyatt's Torch]

Right. The “producer” class versus the “looter” class. It’s quite simple really...

[chooseascreennamepat]

Could it be that the demography mentioned is the same as those that pay 95% of the taxes? Hmmmmmmm?

Schmucks = NYT
