Tea Baggers...About What I Figured.

Quote:So what do Tea Partiers have in common? They are overwhelmingly white, but even compared to other white Republicans, they had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama was president, and they still do.

And...even more obviously....

Quote:In fact, past Republican affiliation is the single strongest predictor of Tea Party support today.

What’s more, contrary to some accounts, the Tea Party is not a creature of the Great Recession. Many Americans have suffered in the last four years, but they are no more likely than anyone else to support the Tea Party. And while the public image of the Tea Party focuses on a desire to shrink government, concern over big government is hardly the only or even the most important predictor of Tea Party support among voters.

More like Koch service.

Yeah they all give that closet racism vibe to me.

They're also just the xtian right re-packaged.

Quote:The Tea Party’s generals may say their overriding concern is a smaller government, but not their rank and file, who are more concerned about putting God in government.

The Tea Party:
A group of right wing radicals who often dress up as their fantasy founding fathers who didn't exist as they imagine, want to restore a fantasy America that never really existed, all to please a fantasy god that doesn't exist.

It almost sounds like a fucked version of the SCA.
