MM I've got a good one for you. My brother likes to call Fox News... "Fake" news. How appropriate. I have the feeling it will spread, a lot of my friends like the new "nickname". LOL

Sixty-five percent of Tea Party respondents called themselves "conservative" Conservative != Republican Also 65% does not equal the 80-90% you claimed. All these data points suggest that the Tea Party crowd is comprised predominantly of conservatives. It seems they are roughly half Republican, and two-thirds conservative. (Edit 57% Republican) Which means that more than 4 out of 10 of them aren't Republican and almost a third aren't even conservatives. You can't reasonably treat Republicans and Tea Partiers as if they where synonymous. Your data simply doesn't support your statement to Odama 09 that - "Your assertion that Tea Partier's are not Republican is false" or your statement to me that - "It's a ven diagram and the overlap is around 80-90%."
