“Tea Party” Beats GOP In Generic Polling

• December 8, 2009

And there isn’t even really an organized “tea party” beyond state-level, grassroots organizations.
And those are more advocacy groups than political parties that are running candidates.

In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%, and Republicans finish third at 18%. Another 22% are undecided.

Neither the “tea party” nor the GOP beats the Democrats, but notice that if you combine the “tea party” and the Republicans together you get 41% of the vote.
That indicates to Republicans that they had better start listening to the tea party movement, and bringing tea party people and tea party-endorsed candidates into the fold, or be prepared to stay in the minority.

Same thing happened when Newt ran with the “Contract with America”… the wildly popular ideas that got both houses of Congress under the (R) banner… Newt and the current Tea Party’rs are saying pretty much the same things… Odd… both wildly popular… Hmmm… I wonder what the GOP should be saying and sticking with?!???!?

Well…they keep talking about ‘big tent’, and I don’t think you will find a bigger tent than the libertarians. You can be a social con and a libertarian, or you can be a social progressive and be libertarian. The thing that makes them libertarian is the belief in small government and low taxes.

Get out of our wallets and out of our bedrooms. That is the common cry of libertarians and it draws a large number of people, leaving the kooks on the outside.

But the tea party conservatives do not want the gop unless they change which means they wouldn’t be GOP. Tea party is closer to Libertarians.
