Well only 37% showed any sign of support in the polls, (funny thats about the same number as Obbummer gets), good news republicans and Tea Party members make up 63% of the population!

Both parties have terrible poll numbers, people are clearly pissed off about both parties but will simply vote the status quo anyways.

The police removed protesters in Sydney,so all the protesters will go back to university

Too all people who say to tax the rich more, how much money is rich in ur eyes? What someone who makes in a year.

If that is what he thinks...he may be right. have you seen who the Republicans are running ? (and yes,..I usually vote conservative). he's had a great 2011 in the Mid East (got Bin Laden...helped get rid of Khadafy with no American casualties, etc.....gotta give him his props there)...I think he sucks on the economy but the opposing slate doesn't sound much better. (Gingrich seems to have the highest I.Q. , but he has the personality of a serial killer...and regardless how many Libertarians love Ron Paul - there is no way that he is fit to run a country).


...forgot to mention...no way in holy hell I'm voting for a Mormon.

I agree...but the parties will then need to sway the Independents...and try to keep their constituents from staying home on Election Day (usually by trying last minute scare tactics)

Let's try to keep the polling discussions fact-based for a change. According to a Time Magazine poll a majority of people (54%) support the OWS movement,' twice the number of Americans who support the extremist Tea Party (27%). And it looks like people are finally catching on as now more people oppose the Tea Party than support it.

Nice try, BC- good luck getting fact to merge with the interwebz!

And hey- can we start calling them "teabaggers"? Seems like a more accurate description. It's the Koch brothers' balls being dipped, you know. . . .I bet 90% of the teabaggers don't even know who those guys are.
