Neither ‘harm’ our society. The lack of education does. The right wing extremism that has been occurring as of late is nothing more that a normal political transition that sometimes happens, especially in a country that elects all of its leaders.<\/p>\n

This poll reminds me of the idea of standing in front of Glenn Beck’s studio to protest. That is not going to make people stop watching Glenn Beck. If you want Glenn off the air, start protesting at your local stores, handing out flyers with a list of products not to buy because the support Glenn Beck. THAT protest would be more effective, faster.<\/p>\n

Want the GOP to be reasonable and the Tea Party to go away? Educate their kids better.<\/p>\n

If you kill a branch, you still have a tree. Kill the root, and you will soon only have a stump.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lots of comments, huh? \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n

Both was the winner here, with GOP in second.<\/span><\/p>\n

As much as I am tempted by Otis\u2019 most interesting comment, and almost completely agree with him, I\u2019ll stand by my vote, which is GOP.\u00a0 The Tea Party isn\u2019t real.\u00a0 They are merely an extension of the GOP, funded and directed by them.\u00a0 Like any other vicious dog, they sometimes bite their master.\u00a0 However, since they trained their dog to be so vicious, the GOP did the greater harm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m not sure how, but Rachel Maddow must have heard about our poll and released the following story, intentionally timed to coincide with the publication of these results. \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n
