One of the humorous statements made by the left is that as the Tea Party agenda's are being supported and made into law, progressives are constantly saying that the minority vote is overwhelming the majority vote. They are in such a bad place and in such denial that they don't understand that progressive policies have proven ineffective, and the majority of American's want to pursue more conservative approaches. The majority vote is the Tea Party, and not the progressive policies.
