Well maybe this is where the problem lies. I don't even think the Tea Party really knows the issues of it's platform.

Really? What did / does your Governor's race indicate, that more people in Texas are in line with Obama's agenda or the Tea Party issues? |

Please give us a count of the signs equating Stalin and Hitler and Obama. Because those are at T. P. rallies whether you like to think so or not.

You're not listening to me, most here do not believe Republican = Tea Party. Our Tea Party percentage may be high but not as high as the 48% would suggest, and I would think it's even less in other parts of the country. |

I get it. and I agree that most would not call themselves a member of the Tea Party movement. I did find one Rasmussen poll where only about 16% self identified as being a part of the Tea Party movement. I did not call myself a member of the 'Obama Nation movement' in 2008 I did vote for him, I do think many will vote with Tea Party issues over the current Administration here is another poll Tea Partiers Are Fairly Mainstream in Their Demographics |

Show me where I said that... You can't, it's just a way of avoidance, avoiding the hypocricy, and the fact that it is plagued with a lot of hatred that seems to cloud the real issues. |

Is there an official platform for the Tea Party somewhere?
It really just seems to be the catchall for people's frustrations. (However misplaced I think that is.)

Well yes, if the poll puts one in line with the tea party e.g. because he favored tax cuts, then I guess that number is even low. So it depends on how strongly your views have to be aligned with the main claims of the tea party to be counted in the 48% number.

I think it's just:
Ronald Reagan--Yeah, what he said. (Mind you, not what he did, just what he said.)

No idea if he calls himself a Tea Partier or not, but just following in the lines of the threats. |
