Despite attacks, tea parties gain steam

Ever try arguing with a liberal? Expect to be insulted, demeaned and treated with condescension. Their arguments often are quite porous; within minutes you'll notice that you are suspected of being stupid or racist. That's the way they work. But people aren't buying it, we're glad to say.

Tea Partiers have been dismissed as a fringe, but two new polls suggest the conservative movement might be going mainstream. 

A Rasmussen poll released Monday found more Americans identify with the Tea Party groups than with President Obama. 

According to the survey, 48 percent of voters said the average Tea Party activist is more aligned with their views on major issues than the president. Forty-four percent said Obama's views are closer to theirs.
