CNN Poll: Unfavorable view of tea party on the rise

30 Mar 2011 09:27 #11 by BearMtnHIB
Here's the message that those who were elected need to get-

Start cutting government now- big time. Refuse to go along with any budget that does not massively cut spending.

Here's the message.....

Maybe the unfavorable polling just shows the effect of the slanted media pieces that CNN and the big 3 produce on the Tea Party movement. Highlighting the loony fringe rather than the mainstream members who want to see goverment spending and debt reduced.
2012 will be the more important poll, will the TEA Party people continue to turn blue states like Wisconsin red? Or will they have given up on the current GOP and stay home?

Or like LJ's believes, inspire independents and Dems to vote in large numbers to give Congress back to the Dems and Obama a second term?

Personally I worry the TEA Party is going to primary too many electable RINO's and nominate candidates like Maes who can't win a general election.

Yes I worry bout that too, but we need massive cuts in government spending. I just don't think we will get there - so what we will wind up with is higher taxes AND massive inflation - erroding Americans spending power.

It's like the guy says in the interview- either we are in for massive taxes, massive inflation, or both.

My guess is that we will wind up with both. The TEA party had the only candidates talking about cutting spending- except for the Libertarians.

Best guess for 2012 at the moment is another term for Barack and both houses of Congress in the hands of the Republicans given that 2/3 of the Senate seats up in 2012 belong to Democrats currently and the Republicans only need to net an increase of 4 seats to be the majority party in the Senate. We need to remember that the last time there was a budget surplus we had a progressive in the Oval Office and Republicans controlling the legislature.

Agreed! That's because the legislature holds the purse strings....

Obama would hate that scenario! None of the bills he wants passed. I would guess he would take even more vacations than right now and more foreign trips to pump up his ego.
