A very interesting article that talks about a broad poll that shows when you ask people about specifics that we respond the same way (Tea party or otherwise) regarding which parts of the budget to cut or enhance and where to get new revenues. I won’t summarize the article (which, after all, is a summary of a paper), but for all practical purposes, other than rhetoric, Tea Party conservatives are indistinguishable from bleeding heart liberals in almost all senses.
Hard to believe, I know!
