More Republicans than democrats at the tea party? Yes, the statistics are clear. Many explanations are given.
Here is one more: 66 millions of us voted for our president, 58 millions against him. What should an official do once in office? At the minimum he should show some consideration towards the opposition, on the civilized notion that electoral opponents and enemies are two different things.
Instead, he alienated opne-minded opponents by treating them like enemies, unnecessarily. So, yes, the attendance of the tea parties may turn out to be asymmetric, but let’s keep in mind that this is about citizen discontent, not party affiliation, unless it’s a gathering of “the party for responsibility”, the one that would make our founders proud.
