Guess angusgord didin't research, just took what some other idiot wrote as being the truth!! :roll: :roll: :roll:


The Tea Party member defy some stereotypes and meet others. AP PhotoCNN has released the first poll which looks at the demographic aspects of the people who support the Tea Party movement. At times some liberals have accused Tea Party members of being dumb, older white people who are caught up in the anti-government fury. The poll reveals that some of these assumptions are true while others are not.

First let us look at the positive aspects of the Tea Party supporters. They are actually more highly educated that the rest of the population. 40% of Tea Party supporters said they had a college degree while only 28% of the rest of the population could boast of such an accomplishment. In addition the Tea Party is actually not dominated by older people anymore than the rest of the population. The age demographic of the movement actually matches up almost exactly with the rest of the nation. 20% of Tea Party supporters are under the age of 20 and 60% of Tea Party members are under the age of 50. So when we talk about the educated elite in America that description actually fits Tea Party members more than Democrats.

The bad news for the Tea Party is that Keith Olbermann appears to have been correct when he accused them of lacking diversity. Only 2% of Tea Party supporters were African-American compared to 10% for the rest of respondents. 80% of Tea Party members identified themselves as "white."

The other demographics of the Tea Party are relatively neutral. It should come as no surprise that Tea Party members earn a higher income than the average American. 34% of Tea Party respondents made over $75,000 compared to just 25% for the other respondents. Just 8% of Tea Party supporters made less than $30,000 compared to 28% for the rest of the population. This demographic helps to explain the Tea Party's opposition to welfare programs and health care reform as both tend to favor the poor more than the rich. The Tea Party was also more Protestant than the rest of the country (68%-50%) and also dominated by males (60%) as compared to females. Not surprisingly there were 0% of Tea Party supporters identified themselves as transgender.

I was doing some reading on a leftwingnuts blog site that I just happened onto. and I just love it when the LEFT claim that the violence of the Tea Parties is getting dangerous. And that the shooting out of Congressmen's windows and threatening People has gone too far. They are right is has gone to far BUT Do these people not know that it was Cantor's, A REPUBILCAN who voted against Obamacare, window that was shot out? Do they really think a Tea Party person that protested to STOP THE BILL was doing the shooting? :roll:

Yes Stupak was supposedly threatened BUT if I remember right while he was negotiating the price tag for his yes vote, he was on TV telling everyone that the threats to his family were so bad his wife had to stop answering their phone. As I recall the Tea Partiers that were interviewed at his office were calling him a hero for standing up for the unborn. (Little did they know he was just grandstanding for a price, :x ) So who was threatening him before he flipped his vote?

As far as that goes who was out in front of the AIG Executives homes threatening their families when Obama signed a bill, that he didn't read, that protected the Bonuses those very Executices legally got due to Dodd"s Amendment?

Who were out beating and threatening violence on townhall attendees?
Who bit the finger off a Tea Party Attendee?
Who stood in front of the media and cried about the violence she was witnessing while provoking angre by calling concerned citizens nasty names?
Who provided the media with a photo op while provoking angre with a gavel carrying in your face walk across the parking lot?
Who claimed there was racial slurrs and spitting going on during the "In Your Face Walk" but when a reward was offered for proof of such claims no one claimed the reward?

AND THE LIST GOES ON

Yes it has gone too far but I doubt most of the really bad crap can be blames on the right even though I'm sure Obama and Oldtimer will see a way to spin it as being Bush's fault. :wink: :roll:

How can the violence that is blamed on the TEA party folks be true if what angus gord and oldtime claim is true, if oldtimers claim of being P.O.ed hippies (every one knows hippies were non volent) and angus gords claim they are all old, how could they be a threat to anyone with the exception of using their wheel chairs,. walkers and canes???

appears that angusgord failed to research, and oldtimer just spouts!!!!
