[Celldweller]

4. none of the above

In general they long for a time past. A time with less tolerance and compassion.

[defacto7]

57. Welcome to DU!

Those you you speak of are the tea party majority who are followers and gullible. The ones to worry about are the ones who control them. They are the ones who may or may not believe in the paradigm of the mass followers but have a great hunger for power, control, money, etc. and will use them to that advantage at any cost. The corporate controllers don't care about the long time past, they don't dream or care about tolerance or compassion. They just want to make America their servants.

10. Nutcases. n/t

[longship]

11. Ignorant!!!

Let's not call them dumb. Some may even be very intelligent.

But what they share is a proud, willful ignorance which disguises any intelligence they might have. This ignorance is born out of an ideology which is blind to any evidence or argument. That makes them so resistant to changing their opinions and therefore learning how things really work.

It is the one thing that makes them difficult to fight politically. There is a cult like nature to their beliefs, which is another reason why they are such a problem.

[northoftheborder]

The Tea Party is the most despotic, destructive, dangerous group of individuals in world history, and need to be dealt with.

They seem to be a mix of a lot of things that I do not agree with.

[kentuck]

34. They're afraid of a lot of things, in my opinion.

They are afraid of losing their country. They are afraid of losing their guns. They are afraid of losing their jobs to immigrants. They are basically a paranoid bunch but their paranoia is real. They are actually scared.

[juxtaposed]

35. The thing I found that most new comers were afraid of was the unforeseen future.

Jobs were a big thing, not sure if they could hold their house, feed the family, pay the taxes? Same as most of us feel..
These are not the afp people!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They occupy a separate and parallel universe.

[Johonny]

50. suckers

They've been buying the same crap agenda for 30+ years and yet their wages, savings, and standard of living keep creeping lower and lower. The Republicans repackage the sos yet they can't get enough. There is one born every minute.

The masses are the ignorant, the gullible, the sheep.

The politicians, the corporate teabaggers, the media RW are the power mad, control freaks, sociopaths, greed mongers.

But a lot of politicians cross over between the two.
