Some interesting poll numbers about Tea Partiers via @binarybits: Tea Partiers are 65% pro-choice, 57% pro same-sex unions, and 53% pro maintain/increase legal immigration.
Here's the New York Times story. FYI - I'm not the Tea Party type, but I do think they've been unfairly painted by the left as bigoted extremists. This gives Democrats a comfortable naritive about themselves, where all opposition to their plans is illegitimate and probably motivated by some dark internal flaws.
John Cleese offers insight on this mindset in a 1987 SDP/Liberal Alliance spot:
"The great thing about having enemies is that you can pretend that all the badness in the whole world is in your enemies, and all the goodness in the world is in you! Attractive, isn't it?"
