ORIGINAL: vincentML Tain't necessarily so, Firm. Look at the Gallup poll you cite. Tea Partiers may match socio-economic demographics of the general population but they are definitely more conserative (as stated above) 70% vs 40%, more Republican 49% vs 28%, more pro life 65% vs 46%, more fearful of the new healthcare bill (a whopping) 87% vs 50%, but as for independents ... about the same 43% vs 40%. So not a cultural match. Pssst, Vince... I think an important point was that the assertations about the Tea Party being just a bunch of racist whites, just don't ring true. Not addressed by the poll, Treasure. A commentary misusing the poll to support a position. Can you imagine if Gallup asked TPers if they are racists? Btw, I can hear you darlin' You don't have to whisper.
