Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated

By KATE ZERNIKE and MEGAN THEE-BRENAN

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.

The 18 percent of Americans who identify themselves as Tea Party
supporters tend to be Republican, white, male, married and older than
45.

They hold more conservative views on a range of issues than
Republicans generally. They are also more likely to describe
themselves as ?very conservative? and President Obama as ?very
liberal.?

And while most Republicans say they are ?dissatisfied? with
Washington, Tea Party supporters are more likely to classify
themselves as ?angry.?

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.

And, because of their extreme and often racist views, plus the open
threats of using violence to achieve their goals, have also been compared
to the rise of the Nazi party in pre WWII Germany.

Smart people *can* be dangerous....especially when they have the financial
backing to pull off their whack-o plans.

One thing I did find VERY funny about them however....they "uninvited"
Sarah Palin to a rally.....so, they got ONE thing right!

They must be smarter than I first thought.....that proves it!
