A
whopping majority of 62% of the American people believe it will
be a good thing for the country if almost all incumbents from
both parties were removed in the upcoming midterm election.
That is the finding of a new national poll that
also reveals over a third would like to see a new political
party formed to remove the establishment.
Only 27% said they felt their representative in
Congress was the best person for the office.
Furthermore, 43% of the American people do not
believe that either party in Congress represents them or their
country.
That number rises to a majority of 53% amongst
Mainstream voters only.
The survey, conducted by Rasmussen,
highlights just how utterly sick of the phony punch and judy
political paradigm a plurality of the public has become.
When asked "Is it fair to say that neither
party in Congress is the party of the American people?",
only 35% of respondents disagreed with a further 22% saying
they are unsure.
When asked if they agreed with the statement "Republicans
and Democrats are so much alike that an entirely new party is
needed to represent the American people", 38% responded
in the affirmative.
The same amount also believe that there is a distinct
possibility that a third party candidate will be elected to
the White House within the next decade.
The same survey also found that 29% of likely
voters see themselves or someone they are close to as Tea Party
members.
The disparity between that figure and the 38%
who would like to see a new third party may represent the feeling
among some that the Tea Party has been co-opted by the GOP establishment
and the conservative leaning corporate media.
Last week a key figure in the evolution of the
Tea Party movement, Karl Denninger, highlighted this backlash
by penning a piece titled
"To The Tea Party: Go Screw Yourself".
Denninger, who used his website to promote one
of the first major national Tea Party events, specifically hit
out at Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and Bob Barr, and warned that
the movement had been severely watered down and brought into
line with mainstream establishment GOP efforts.
