Hmmm. I'm having some issues with this story.

Journalists are Shocked, Shocked to See Tea Bag Poll

Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated

Tea Party supporters are wealthier and more well-educated ... than the general public, and tend to be Republican, white, male and married, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Oh my god.

The New York Times finally left their office and you know - polled some of the Tea Baggers?

Their responses are like the general public’s in many ways. Most describe the amount they paid in taxes this year as “fair.” Most send their children to public schools. A plurality do not think Sarah Palin is qualified to be president, and, despite their push for smaller government, they think that Social Security and Medicare are worth the cost to taxpayers. They actually are just as likely as Americans as a whole to have returned their census forms, though some conservative leaders have urged a boycott.

But they are, "Angry," according to the poll.

And what are they angry about? They feel that Obama and the Congress are re-distributing wealth from the rich and middle class to the poor. Which is, they are being taxed, and then taxed more, and their services haven't gotten any better - and their State and local governments are cutting services, while raising fees and taxes - and have nothing to show for it.

Oh, and they're racist. You betcha'. They think too much attention is being made on African American problems. 25 percent of the tea baggers polled this belief, over 11 of the general public. Push poll? Nah! Also proves the 1 in 4 rule posed by South Park: 1 in 4 people is a complete moron.

So what else are they angry about? According to the poll, that is?

"Tea Party supporters offered three main concerns: the recent health care overhaul, government spending and a feeling that their opinions are not represented in Washington."

While most folks blame Bush or Wall Street, or I'm sure some combination of those two, for the current state of the economy, most polled Tea Baggers blame Congress.

They do not want a third party and say they usually or almost always vote Republican.
