Who is Extreme: 48% of Americans Say Views More Like Tea Party, Only 22% Say More Like Congress

Democrats have tried to smear the Tea Party since the outset of the grass roots, “We the People” movement, it has gotten them no where.

Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just last week was at it again knocking the Tea Party (VIDEO); however, he just like mostt Democrats just don’t get it. ‘We the People” do not think the Tea Party is extreme, we think that Congress is. He stated that the people does not care about the Tea Party, it is just a small percentage that identify with the Tea Party. Really Harry?

 In a recent Rasmussen poll, 48% of  of Likely U.S. Voters say when facing major issues, their views are closer to the average Tea Party member while only 23% favor the views of Congress.  Meanwhile, 54% of voters not affiliated with either major political party, say the movement is good for the country.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters say when it comes to the major issues facing the country, their views are closer to the average Tea Party member as opposed to the average member of Congress.  Just 22% say their views are closest to those of the average congressman. Even more (30%) aren’t sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

 A radical and unpopular faction? Really? Since when is it radical and unpopular to live within your means, bankrupt a ccountry and leave your children and grand children with a bill they cannot afford? This is what Democrats think is radical. Is is no wonder that Democrats were shellacked in the 2010 midterm elections.

Clean Up Day in Wisconsin: Tea Party Members Plan “It’s Time to Take Out the Trash Day” at Wisconsin Capitol

Tea Party to the rescue to help clean up the mess left by union protesters.

It was reported the other day that it may cost up to $7.5 million in order to clean up the mess and restore the damage done at the Wisconsin Capitol building caused by the disrespectful union protesters. However, Wisconsin Tea Party members are planning a “It’s Time to Take out the Trash Day”at the Wisconsin State Capitol to clean up the mess left by the teachers unions and other protesting union members during their sleepover.

One has to wonder why these protesters were not fines or arrested for defacing public property and graffiti. Since when is it ok and legal to deface property? Why should all Wisconsin tax payers have to pay for damage done by unions? Send them the bill, you know who they are. The union protesters turned the Wisconsin capitol building into their own person pig sty, see pics HERE.

Its Time To Take Out the Trash Facebook.

As stated at Sistertoldja, it speaks volumes of the character of the Tea Party folks, who would go and help clean up the mess left by inconsiderate union protesters. If one ever wondered what separates the Tea Party from the LEFT and unions, look no further. But of course, where is the MSM reporting that the Tea Party is picking up the trash of the unions? I thought the LEFT was supposed to be so “GREEN”.

It’s not about partisanship or protests, but pride.

It is time to take out the trash… literally. In true Flash Mob fashion, on Sunday at exactly 1300 hours (1:00 pm for you non-military types) we will do an extensive police call (pick up the trash) around the capitol square. Regardless of the state the grounds are in, we will do this as both a literal and symbolic way to show our respect for our home.

TEA Partiers know how this is done. It is time to show OUR pride for OUR state OUR way and be the example.

 TEA PARTY TO THE RESCUE …

By the way, it is a crime to willfully deface property and graffiti:

Wisconsin Criminal Code §943.017: Graffiti.

Union Protesters Cause $7.5 Million in Damages at State Capitol in Madison, WI

Could the MSM be any more hypocritical, what if the Tea Party had done such a thing?

According to reports from the JS Online, Wisconsin state officials have stated that damage to the marble inside and out the State Capitol due the the exploits of union protesters would cost an estimated $7.5 million to repair. It is one thing to use your First Amendment right to protect and make you voice be heard, it’s quite a different one to deface public property. Guess who gets this bill … all tax payers in Wisconsin. Guess those peaceful protesters have provided a gift that keeps on giving, or taking as the case may be. How disgraceful that these people deface public property; however, I am sure they will get a fraudulent note excusing them of their actions.

VIDEO: Fox News6 Now

Cari Anne Renlund, chief legal counsel for the state Department of Administration, said in Dane County court that estimates of damage to marble includes $6 million to repair damaged marble inside the Capitol, $1 million for damage outside and $500,000 for costs to supervise the damage.

Much of the damage apparently has come from tape used to put up signs and placards at the Capitol.

Hmm, according to the video above, live ammunition was found outside the state Capitol as well as .22 caliber shells were found. More at The Lonely Conservative.

What a double standard of hypocrisy on the side of the liberal MSM. Imagine, just imagine of a Tea Party rally caused such damage, litter and ruin in its wake? It would be the headline story on every LEFTIST newspaper and leading the national news. But when union protesters do such a thing, its no where to be found. Another Black Conservative reminds us of the mess that had to be cleaned up after other LEFTY get-togethers, complete with pics too. But of course,the MSM refused to report on the Hitler and hate signsof the union protesters. Too bad they cannot say the same about the bias and fabricated agenda they tried to pass off regarding the Tea Party.

Long Shot Candidate Herman Cain Wins Tea Party Straw Poll

Herman Cain has wins the Tea party straw poll with 22% of the vote.  Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty (R)  came in second with 16% and Ron Paul in third with 15%. Although Cain is a long shot with as OTB states little chance of winning, many of his views and opinions are exactly what this country needs. Who is Herman Cain you ask? He is a conservative talk show host and former Godfather’s Pizza chief executive and now straw poll winner.
