RkFast Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I'm waiting for them to storm the Hill about DC Voting Rights. Youre just pissy becuase the NYC Teachers Union lost another bull **** entitlement yesterday.
Fezmid Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Didn't another poll find that 40% of "Tea Baggers" were Democrats and Independents? This poll did too.... Under "overall demographics," it says "54% republican, 5% democratic, 36% independent." That's 41% democratic/independent.
John Adams Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 For the teabaggers, and this has been obvious from the start, it is purely ideologically driven rather than based on any sort of personal experience. That is the key to understanding the whole bagger movement. In other news, grass is green.
RkFast Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 A political movement driven by political ideology. Who'd a thunk it? I guess libbbbs have a hard time with that, given they are usually "driven" by either acid flashbacks or trying to get laid by the broad in the dorm next door.
finknottle Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 White male republican/conservative. Yeah the teabag movement is soooo diverse. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/04...ml?ref=politics Nice talking points. On what exactly to you base your comments on? If anything, the scant details provided point to the differences between the TP and mainstream Republican positions. There are no demographic breakdowns and no data, beyond the unsubstantiated claims that Tea Partiers tend to be wealthier and more educated then the general public; and that they tend to be Rebublican, white, male, maried, and over 40. Do you buy all of that? Or just the bits you like? Btw, did you realize that Democrats tend to be White? Are you outraged?

DC Tom Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Baggers and birthers...it is all one in the same. Your pathetic and juveneile attempts to marginalize them would be more effective if you didn't provide links showing that people are starting to take them seriously.
erynthered Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Baggers and birthers...it is all one in the same. So what would you call this guy, then? Edit: The reporter should smacked up-side her head for asking that fcking question.
Fezmid Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I'm not finding the data in the lead story or the full article link. Any help? I thought I did, when I said, "Overall demographics...."??? Here's the direct link instead: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/04...=politics#tab=9
pBills Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Youre just pissy becuase the NYC Teachers Union lost another bull **** entitlement yesterday. Have no idea what the NYC Teachers Union did yesterday. Simply curious if the Tea Party people care about DC Voting Rights.

VABills Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Have no idea what the NYC Teachers Union did yesterday. Simply curious if the Tea Party people care about DC Voting Rights. They have the right to vote
Fezmid Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I do like how the majority of their members are probably receiving social security or medicare. So? I received the $800 "working credit" or whatever it was called, but I still think it's ridiculous and shouldn't have been given out to anyone.
Chef Jim Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Have no idea what the NYC Teachers Union did yesterday. Simply curious if the Tea Party people care about DC Voting Rights. The Tea Party is not about taxation without representation.
Magox Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I do like how the majority of their members are probably receiving social security or medicare. Since when does 29% constitute a majority?
IDBillzFan Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I do like how the majority of their members are probably receiving social security or medicare. What??? Holy crap! They're receiving benefits that they paid for for years? The horror.
pBills Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 They have the right to vote Yes. You being from VA should know that they do not have a voting rep in Senate and in the House they are allowed one delegate who is not allowed on the floor. DC should have FULL representation. Don't you agree?
DC Tom Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 DC should have FULL representation. Don't you agree? No. DC isn't a state.
pBills Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 What??? Holy crap! They're receiving benefits that they paid for for years? The horror. Just thinking it's great to hold up signs protesting Socialism yet go home and collect from them.
