"Who NEEDS it???!!!!"

"A new Rasmussen poll reveals what many have feared: given a choice, more people would vote for a Tea Party candidate than a Republican candidate.
In a national phone survey, Rasmussen asked, "Suppose the Tea Party organized itself as a political party. When thinking about the next election for Congress, would you vote for the Republican candidate from your district, the Democratic candidate from your district or the Tea Party candidate from your district?" The Democrats had the largest percentage of votes--36% percent--but a mythical Tea Party Party beat the Republicans by five points. More than 23 percernt gave their support to the Tea Partiers and only 18 percent were willing to commit to the GOP, leaving 22 percent of voters unsure.
Even more terrifying are this poll's breakdowns: among people who consider themselves "unaffiliated" with either major party, a third (33 percent) would back an organized Tea Party Party, 30 percent are undecided, 25 percent would vote Democrat and only 12% would vote Republican. Republican respondents went 39 percent Republican-- but 33 percent would vote for Tea. The Tea Party "movement" has a 70 percent favorable rating among Republicans and 43 percent favorable rating among the unaffiliated."
Who KNEW that the Bush Years would (actually) make it HIP to be STUPID?
