If I may interrupt the back-and-forth that at this point precisely two people are reading, I believe this attack on the Tea Party is pertinent to the thread.

| [Tea Party supporters] do not want a third party and say they usually or almost always vote Republican. The percentage holding a favorable opinion of former President George W. Bush, at 57 percent, almost exactly matches the percentage in the general public that holds an unfavorable view of him. |
The Tea Partiers, 57% of them, still love them some unfunded-entitlement-spending, TARP-bail-outing, compassionate Bush. They just don't like Barack Obama. |

And that sums up the GOP in general: a bunch of freaking hypocrites. |
Which pretty much applies to just about any politicians anywhere (with few exceptions). |
Agreed, and much obliged, T.U.M., for the levelling. I think it is often forgotten (by me as well) that at any time a large group of people with diverse opinions and beliefs and activities, attempt to galvanize under a singular political ideology or the ideology of a figurehead, they are made hypocrites either by their own transgressions, the transgressions of their fellows, or perceived transgressions superimposed via generalizations by others.
Even Independents can't escape this. But such is the nature of the beast, I suppose.
And Fox, please admit that you were wrong about being wrong, which you were in turn wrong about because you were wrong about being wrong.
