I've listened to her many times in interviews/forums .. she never strikes me as a Republican ... she never spews the Republican lingo on economics or social issues.
She always seems trapped & confused, someone who doesn't know where she belongs on the political spectrum.
One thing she is right about is that the Tea party is full of wing-nuts. And there is no better evidence than 3 tea-baggers attempting to primary the father of the movement (Ron Paul) this year. Ron Paul started the national Tea-Party movement (Campaign for Liberty) but it was hijacked by the Republican Elites in an attempt to improve the brand of conservatism. This is when all the kooks & retards joined in.
A Proud Progressive!!!
