ken..."The Tea Party is weak. They couldn't even stop the Health Care Bill from passing.".... Are you a socialist...no need to be ashamed, there are lots of radical crazy confused folks like you around...they were educated that way...course some may be just born with that defect. Just how would the Tea Party stop the health bill? They are made up of democrats,republicans and independents none of whom are in congress or the senate....

oh bummer! you may be right and the tea party may be weaker than we think. with 47% of the population not paying income taxes the dumasrats bought themselves a large voting block. it may be too huge to overcome. seems to be the same percentage as bamah's approval rating too too bad about stupak though.

oh bummer! The weak tea party according to pbs "By far, the "Boom Town" counties have the largest number of tea party-ers per capita - 3.27 for every 10,000 people. That may not sound massive, but no other community type is above 3. "Boom Towns" have been reliably Republican in presidential races going back to 2000 - and even before then. But Barack Obama got to within four percentage points of Sen. John McCain in these counties in 2008. Those gains were probably temporary, given the current strength of tea party support. The other big tea party numbers are in the rural, agricultural "Tractor Country" counties and in the "Military Bastion" counties, which are located near bases for the armed forces. Both of these community types have more than 2.8 tea-party members per 10,000 people. The "Bastions" in particular have suffered as a steady string of troop deployments has left them unsteady." pbs.org Don't worry! Be happy! the hopeless comrade chartseer in the new era of hope

Maria Bartiromo on Goldman Case: Where's the Fraud? Posted Apr 22, 2010 04:23pm EDT by Peter Gorenstein in Investing, Newsmakers, Banking Related: gs, xlf, ^dji, ^gspc, bac, c, aig Add CNBC anchor - and author of the new book the 10 Laws of Enduring Success - Maria Bartiromo to the growing list of experts and market watchers questioning the Goldman Sachs fraud allegations. "I've spent the last week on the phone with corporate lawyers, many of whom said they do not see the fraud. They cannot find the fraud in this case," she tells Aaron and Henry in this clip. Bartiromo refers to the deal now in question as "unethical," several times in the interview, but hesitates to call it illegal. "We'll set about that," is how she responds. Regardless of the outcome, Bartiromo believes the regulatory offensive signals "a more aggressive SEC" and could be the first of many lawsuits to come. If that’s the case, she speculates, investors will be facing a confusing future, and it could mean a "tough period for finance." finance.yahoo.com
