Poll: Tea Partiers back 'Christian conservative agenda'


The survey found significant overlap between the Tea Party, made up mostly of Republicans, and the religious right, which has played a significant political role for decades.

Nearly half of those who identify with the Tea Party believe that the Bible is the literal word of God, and a similar proportion thinks that public officials do not pay enough attention to religion, the survey found. They are more likely than the population as a whole to view America as a Christian nation.

Tea Party members are less likely than the general public to support same-sex marriage, abortion rights or a compromise on immigration reform that would allow people who are in the United States illegally to become citizens.

But 82 percent of those who identify with the Tea Party plan to vote for Republicans in the November elections, the survey found. Nearly three-quarters said they usually vote Republican.

1. Maybe I am wrong but to me tea poopers
are Nixon's Southern strategy which were
George Wallace's backers in his race which had been
Dixiecrats who were
the Southern Democrats in Roosevelt's coalition who came from
the old south and the KKK which were spawned from
the Confederacy who were
The slave owners who had fought
to exclude blacks as citizens .............

And in all these cases there was rich, white leadership which appealed to hate and fear in poor people and got them to do their fighting and be the vanguard.
