Judging from his ads Rouzer is a Tea Party A-hole. I think he is running against the Blue Dog in our district.

What a sight! All those millions of Tea Party A-holes.

(41% of Americans support the "Tea Party" according to the Washington Post estimate).
Tea party support stable, but interest is waning, Scott Clement, 04/15/2012, Washington Post Politics.

For those who want to know what and who the Blue Dogs are, see "Blue Dog Coalition" in Wikipedia. There are 26 Representatives according to this list, 6 departing at end of 112th Congress.

No not millions. The Tea Party A-holes, my term, are the ones running for office using nasty divisive ads with their name on them.

New York Times (Pew) puts agreement with the Tea Party in the mid 20's

That is in districts with Tea Party representatives.

I know it depends on how you ask the question. But since support is a much stronger term than "agree with," it makes your unsupported statement of 41% nation wide (Or did you just mean my district in North Carolina) seem dubious at best.

Q

I went back and read the poll

          -------- Support --------   --------- Oppose --------    No
          NET   Strongly   Somewhat   NET   Somewhat   Strongly opinion
4/8/12    41      12         29       45       21         24       14

Somewhat support? That is not want a member would say. At best you have only 12 percent as member of the Tea Party. Obviously the reality is much smaller than that.
