Amazing how the demographics of the Tea Party and national adults jive.
Figures never lie but liars do a lot of figuring.
Please identify the sources of your quotes...and more specific data for as a statistician I find that income, race, political party and geographic location are skewed among Tea Partiers...towards upper middle class, republicans, 95% white and mainly rural (non-farmers), suburban folks, nearly half over 50 but under 65. And then there is their percentage of our entire populations which is under 1%. The million man march due far more support.
Both parties are running scared of them..but heck they have run scared of women, minorities, immigrants and even farmers for eons.
If the Teabag partiers are mainstream America I have to think about Belize.
These people are wondering where their prosperity went since Nixon. The prosperity was taken away by all the Republicans since. They redistributed the wealth from the Teabaggers to their plutocrat sponsers.
I did not know people who place their genitials on others heads had been doing it since Nixon.
The content of the OP contains elements of conspiracy theory held by many tea party members. Most people don't believe that the major media outlets are Socialist entities who have a Marxist agenda and are on Obama's payroll. This is certainly not a mainstream idea.
So I shouldn't listen to what the leadership states? At the same time, I should ignore the statements made by the rank and file. I'm sure there are some tea party members who don't believe Obama is the anti Christ, but I'm not talking about individual members so much as I am about the party as a whole.
Let's examine some of the ideas held by representatives of the tea party.
- Obama is not a US citizen and there is a government conspiracy to hide this. How on earth is this a mainstream idea when more than half of the US voters voted for him.
- Obama is a Marxist who is determine to turn the US into a Soviet style Socialist nation. How on earth is this a maintream idea when more than .........
- The current administration is an illegitimate government which does not represent it's citizens. Again, what about the more than 50% of the people who voted for him.
- It's patriotic to secede, not mainstream by a long shot.
- Refuse to pay your taxes
- The census form is an attempt by the federal government to spy on it's citizens, again not mainstream

show me one tea party web site that backs what you say they back.
Not one tea party group has ever backed that in their mission or core values continue to state lies, that your choice continue all you want

Why bother? There's a difference between the beliefs of some people who participate in the tea party movement, and what the majority of tea partiers believe.
There are some Christian sects that believe:
That the planet is only 6000 years old.
That the husband is the head of the household, and all others in the house should submit to him.
That the Bible is literal.
There's a difference between the beliefs of some Christians and what the majority of Christians believe.
I don't know how I can make that distinction any clearer.

perhaps you need to actually attend a tea party gathering before commenting on what they discuss.
