Political Tea Party Definition

Marcia Said:

Tea Partiers, John Bircher's, Neoliberalism/Noeconservitism and the Party of obstructionism..Republicans all ?

We Answered:

Ha Ha, your critics consider Hitler a liberal!!!!

Claude Said:

What political party should I belong to?

We Answered:

If you don't like the two party system, move where there is a parliamentary (multiple-), socialist (one-), communist (one-), theocratic (one), anarchist (zero-) party government or any of the plethora of other governments and live it up. There are plenty of those available.

There is no such thing as 'separation of church and state,' or didn't you know the Supreme Court is the higher authority now? If 'liberty' is your higher authority, then you have problems, and I should know -- it's my first name.

Leonard Said:

Vocabulary quiz. What is the definition of sycophant?

We Answered:

It could be either 1 or 4. Both are sicko-elephants. But I'm going for 2. Whether it's Fox News [Reps] or MSNBC [Dems], both are sycophants for their respective parties.

Richard Said:

Are Tea Party groups, pretty much the WASP Interahamwe?

We Answered:

Actually, Violence is not one of the more popular conservative tactics. We try to avoid resorting to violence so that we will not be mistaken for liberals.

Jeffery Said:

What is the definition of the Political Class?

We Answered:

Its a category created by Rasmussen. They ask those polled three questions and they are put in the category based on how they answer. The questions are below and here is the link:

The questions used to calculate the Index are:

-- Generally speaking, when it comes to important national issues, whose judgment do you trust more - the American people or America’s political leaders?

-- Some people believe that the federal government has become a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interests. Has the federal government become a special interest group?

-- Do government and big business often work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors?

To create a scale, each response earns a plus 1 for the populist answer, a minus 1 for the political class answer, and a 0 for not sure.

Those who score 2 or higher are considered a populist or part of the Mainstream. Those who score -2 or lower are considered to be aligned with the Political Class. Those who score +1 or -1 are considered leaners in one direction or the other.

In practical terms, if someone is classified with the Mainstream, they agree with the mainstream view on at least two of the three questions and don’t agree with the Political Class on any.
