Some choice quotes explaining the Tea Party Movement (All from one article)

[Godhumor]

Tea Party supporters are more likely than other voters to be white, married, 55 and older, and call themselves born-again Christians.

“The Tea Party is positioning itself as unaligned,” says Ann Selzer, president of the Des Moines, Iowa-based company that conducted the poll. “But in every way we’ve looked at it, they look like Republicans.”

Still, there are inconsistencies in Tea Party responses. Eight of 10 want the government to repeal the health-care bill, though majorities still say they would keep elements of the enhanced coverage it provides. Most want insurance companies to be prohibited from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and they want more drug benefits for Medicare patients. They also want states to provide special plans to cover people with major health problems. My note: In other words they have no clue what is actually in the health-care bill.

A plurality of all likely voters say they would be less likely to back a candidate whose campaign ads were financed by anonymous business groups. For Tea Party backers, a plurality said this wouldn’t matter to their vote.

1. Anonymous "business" groups? How about anonymous groups?

2. Or foreign governments and other hostile entities.

Until the CoC and all the groups the Koch brothers and Newt Gingrich are backing come clean, we have no idea WHERE any of that money is coming from. Much of it could be coming directly from Syria, Iran, China, Algeria and Osama Bin Laden.

We just don't know.

3. So besides a Constitutional Ammendment,what can we do?

4. Terrify the Teahadists and other (R)s with the thought of foreign bogeymen buying our elections.

They won't vote for anyone receiving anonymous money (in November) and will be screaming for an amendment (along with the rest of U.S.) the second the election results are in.

5. You mean even if their masters don't tell them to do so?
