A new Rasmussen poll provided respondents with a three way generic ballot test, offering a choice between Democrats, Republicans and a Tea Party candidate. The generic Tea Party candidate polled second behind the Democrats and ahead of the Republicans. The poll also found significant support for a third party alternative to the Democrats and Republicans:
In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%, and Republicans finish third at 18%. Another 22% are undecided.
Among voters not affiliated with either major party, the Tea Party comes out on top. Thirty-three percent (33%) prefer the Tea Party candidate, and 30% are undecided. Twenty-five percent (25%) would vote for a Democrat, and just 12% prefer the GOP . . .
Forty-one percent (41%) of all voters nationwide say Republicans and Democrats are so much alike that a new party is needed to represent the American people. Republicans are evenly divided on this question, while Democrats overwhelmingly disagree. However, among those not affiliated with either major party, 60% agree that a new party is needed, and only 25% disagree. Men are far more likely than women to believe a new party is needed.
Sadly, more than a few “Teabaggers” are enamored with Sarah Palin.

There are quite a few “Tea Party” candidates who will be running as Green Party candidates
Green Tea Party? Good idea.
In reality, the upper class is inherently superior and was chosen by God to rule, with the monarch at its head and under the heading of the Roman Catholic church.
This is apparantly also the view of much of the Hoppe/Rockwell segment of libertarianism, but not other libertarians.
Communists like myself hate liberals as much as conservatives do.
I don’t hate liberals, in fact if anything I am a liberal.
All liberals want to do is protect the middle class.
In what sense?
Communists are out to protect the working class.
Only in theory.
Libertarians are out to protect themselves.
And, in the case of most of us, everyone else as well, other than those who make their living by plunder.
Libertarians != communists. They are polar opposite ideologies.
Not necessarily. Libertarianism does not conflict with mutually voluntary communism. One can thus be both a libertarian and a communist at the same time.
What libertarians object to is the coercive state that Marxists believe is necessary as an intermediate stage toward achieving communism. As described by Marx and others, the theoretical end-state of communism is consistent with libertarian ideals, since it would be a mutually voluntary social order.
The reality, as libertarian theory predicted, was that any state theoretically set up on behalf of workers became a dictatorship not of the proletariat, but of the party elite nomenklatura/political class (see Agorist Class Theory). Also, as libertarians predicted, Marxist dictatorships never completed the predicted transformation to a voluntary communistic social order, but instead became entrenched and eventually collapsed of their own dead weight — due to the unsustainability of their centrally planned economies and the inability of the political elite to control the flow of information and dissenting views.
There are quite a few “Tea Party” candidates who will be running as Green Party candidates in places like Ohio, Iowa, and Idaho, according to recent blogg posts.
It’s a good opportunity for veteran and experienced Green Party people to join with those new Tea Party folks upset over wanton waste of tax dollars on war.
But the CP is also a bunch of liberal commies too.
= Better then being a Brit-loving homo, such as yourself.
Good idea, VERY good idea
Cody, I never thought of that. They should go with the Constitution Party.
Jason, how many times do you need to be told? All current political ideologies are working to please the working class and middle class, which are defying the upper class and attempting to assert what they think are their rights. In reality, the upper class is inherently superior and was chosen by God to rule, with the monarch at its head and under the heading of the Roman Catholic church.
Libertarians are out to protect themselves.
That’s because we ARE the working class. And the only thing we want protected from is the nanny state!
PEACE
Ugh, how many times do you need to be told? Libertarians != communists. They are polar opposite ideologies. Communists like myself hate liberals as much as conservatives do. All liberals want to do is protect the middle class. Communists are out to protect the working class. Libertarians are out to protect themselves.
The tea party movement is just another group of heretical antimonarchist commies. I do understand why they won’t join with the CP, since they disagree on foreign policy. But the CP is also a bunch of liberal commies too.
Maybe Uncle Sam is screwing with it.
This site is down a lot.
That, & when they do decided to go third party, they ought to join up with the existing third parties in the nation instead of starting a new one; we have enough third parties, both ballot and not ballot-qualified, to choose from already!
Unfortunately, a lot of these Teabaggers are challenging Republican incumbents in the primaries, instead of taking the plunge and going independent/third party, which would give the people more options than the lesser of two evils.
