TEA RATION

So I haven't written about the baggers for awhile.

How's this?

The Limited Appeal of a Far Right Platform

Of course, we might dismiss this as it comes from the seditious Washington Post, an inflammatory liberal paper filled with fuzzy headed pro-government idealogues.

Actually, WaPo has become a Republican organ in its editorial page and not all that friendly to the Obamas on the news page.

A morsel.

We should also get over the notion that somehow, this is a "movement" that's sweeping the nation -- only 8% of Tea Party supporters (about 2% of the larger population) claim to be "active participants."

This poll also might apply to other than tea wingnuts.

I suspect the same for left wing wingnuts as well even though that was not in the questions.

Real people don't want this kind of rhetoric and the appeal of the proposals, if any, from these people are distasteful.

What is interesting is that while the citizenry more or less rejects this extreme stuff, the panderers in the Senate (John McCain) and House are drinking some weak tea.
