The Tea Party is more unpopular than ever before, according to a Rasmussen poll released Monday, with just three in 10 voters holding favorable views of the movement. Half of respondents said they view the party unfavorably.

The movement is now widely seen by the public as declining, according to the Rasmussen poll -- 56 percent of voters said the Tea Party became less influential over the past year, and just 8 percent said they identified as part of the Tea Party movement.

Will the Tea Party boost in polls last or will they revert to their old level?

The Republican Party claims to be changing its stance on social issues. If it does, it's going to be mighty hard to tell the two major parties apart without a score card.

We'll see.

A CNN/ORC poll released Monday found 37 percent of those surveyed have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party, up 9 points from their 28 percent positive rating in March.
The 37 percent approval rating is just one percentage point below the movement’s all-time high in CNN/ORC’s polling.

Now in America the concept that one must be "deserving" to obtain even basic benefits like, food, the idea that our American leaders would every one of them want Americans to starve when we live in "the land of plenty" ...

I am so ashamed of them.

It came afterward, not beforehand. The IRS didn't sit down one day and say, "Okay, if any applications come in with 'tea party' or similar criteria, give 'em the business."
They saw a pattern emerging and then focused in on it.

She had a ring of informants inside Iran's scientists and engineers, who kept us up to date with their progress or lack of it. This permits Netanyahu to yell that the Iranian Bomb is coming year after year without as much knowledge as we had before Plame's ring got blown up. Qui bono?

All you can do sometimes with these news items is just shake your head, or maybe pull your hair out. And that's the case with Sanders' labeling bill defeat--71 to 27--when the thing would simply "allow" states to label food as GMO not say they had to. As my GA grandmother would've said, "Don't that beat all?"

"You go, Gurl"--Yep, you nailed it, wendydavis. Thnx so much.

You are right on the money. We need to keep our eye on the ball and not be diverted by ginned-up scandals (vs. the real ones), Harry Reid agonistes and the press' political version of the Daily Racing Form. If we the people lose the Constitution - the real one, not the Articles of Confederation the South still dreams about - and the rule of law, we are screwed. What comes after will not be better.

The Pentagon Papers are an example of embarrassment, not substance. Many things under Bush/Cheney.

The Valarie Plame incident? Maybe.

I can't remember the specifics. Under HW Bush (remember he was the head of the CIA before becoming President) someone released a list of CIA agents and more information about them Can't remember if it was a book, or a news story. I think it was a book.

He went ballistic. So now you have a situation where someone leaks information that puts security people's lives in danger.

Even the leaks about 9/11 fall into the category of after the fact embarrassments. Now if some of that information was released beforehand.

The leaks situation is also why the DOD justified keeping journalists out of the fields. I disagreed with them doing that, but I understand the logic.
