Calm down, read a story, and stop believing everything you see in the news.

Look out for the description of the actual tea party movement in the paragraphs in the link. kthxbai.

The day when Sarah Palin becomes president is the day when I move to Canada. No further comment, as it will unleash a terrible tirade of torturous insults and death threats on her.

Based on 124 interviews? What a load of rubbish. I thought this was the news and current events forum not the unreliable data forum. :roll: :lol:

Can you even give a link to your source instead of just say "IN A COLUMN"????

Oh I will totally move to another country if she is ever our president. Even if she becomes our next Sec of State I will move.

I've heard and seen stuff about the Tea Party movement. From what I've heard, they remain the true believers in smaller government, the true believers that government spending on social programs of every sort is too high and should be discontinued altogether, the true believers in supply-side economics--in short the secular [as opposed to the Fundamentalist] hard core of the Republican Party. Sally Palin plays up to these people with her talking points written on the palm of her hand.

Same here with me I would move to another country. I would move to the UK, Australia, Japan, or Canada.

on HER? more likely on anybody to the left of mccain who dares to express a contrary opinion of her charms. and if you wish to emmigrate to canada be aware that they are singling-out americans for fine-tooth-comb scrutiny- if you have so much as a traffic no-no on your record, no deal. no bachelors degree or above, no deal. chronic health problems, no deal. if you don't believe me, investigate further, you will see. i tried. i did not meet their standards on any front.

they don't even want visitors from america unless they have absolutely no record of offenses no matter how trivial. [ask the legions of folk prevented from entering country to attend the winter olympics] i haven't been able to visit canada in ages.
they are being über-picky for a very good reason- waves of disgusted americans who fled during vietnam as well as during the early months of reagan's first term, before they slammed the door closed on us. they can tolerate us as southern neighbors but they don't want too many of us within their borders.
good luck anyways.
