16% Of Americans Are Tea Partiers

The left wing media is at it again. They are saying that the Tea Party is nothing more then a fringe group at only 16%. Even Ed Rendell has come out calling the Tea Partiers a fringe group not worth worrying about. 16% is the magic number for liberals and the media. But what I have a hard time understanding is that liberals only make up 20% of Americans and they are calling us Tea Partiers,mind you 40% of Americans are conservative, a fringe group? Is 4% all it takes to become main stream in the liberal world? The good thing is as Tea Partiers keep growing,liberals are shrinking in numbers.
