Interesting that you completely skipped over the article i posted, this was all over msnbc as well. Half the MSM is trying to marginalise these guys by calling them rich people who have lost touch with the middle class, the other half is trying to marginalise them by calling them idiots. You liberals got to get your story straight which is it, are these guys rich, or jobless, cause they cant be both. fkbushites, is a typical liberal angry, jobless, and conviniently ignores any information that doesnt conform to his opinion just like Al Gore.
Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated
Tea Party supporters are wealthier and more well-educated than the general public, and are no more or less afraid of falling into a lower socioeconomic class, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
They hold more conservative views on a range of issues than Republicans generally. They are also more likely to describe themselves as âvery conservativeâ and President Obama as âvery liberal.â
And while most Republicans say they are âdissatisfiedâ with Washington, Tea Party supporters are more likely to classify themselves as âangry.â
The Tea Party movement burst onto the scene a year ago in protest of the economic stimulus package, and its supporters have vowed to purge the Republican Party of officials they consider not sufficiently conservative and to block the Democratic agenda on the economy, the environment and health care. But the demographics and attitudes of those in the movement have been known largely anecdotally. The Times/CBS poll offers a detailed look at the profile and attitudes of those supporters.
