If anything tied the groups together, it was what motivated their members to participate. Virtually all said that economic concerns were a factor, and nearly as many cited a general mistrust of government. Opposition to President Obama and Democratic policies was a big factor, but only slightly more so than dissatisfaction with mainstream Republican leaders.

I don't believe them. If an R were president, they might comment negatively to a pollster but they wouldn't have been carrying on like they do now, threatening to overthrow the gov't.

The findings suggest that the breadth of the tea party may be inflated.

What a surprise......not. They are the same assholes who agitate whenever a Dem becomes president. They were furious that the Dems not only got the presidency but Congress as well.

The tea party has been accused of racism by its political opponents after comments from some prominent members and signs at several major rallies this year that attacked Obama for either his race or the false belief that he is a Muslim. At rallies, for instances, organizers have kicked out questionable members and have sought to project a more tolerant image.

But the interviews found that Obama's race is, in fact, important in more than one in 10 tea party groups.

Its more than one in ten. They are running openly racist candidates......Paladino, Angle, Buck, Tancredo etc.
