From the article:

Quote:The Tea Party ranks “dead last” in CBS poll, even less popular than atheists.

When a group of citizens wants to incorporate religion into politics, the result is failure: especially when it pertains to U.S. politics.

In the late seventies until the eighties, we saw the beginning and the end of the Moral Majority, a political action group composed of conservative, fundamentalist Christians. Founded (1979) and led (1979–87) by evangelist Rev. Jerry Falwell, the group played a significant role in the 1980 elections through its strong support of conservative candidates. It lobbied for prayer and the teaching of creationism in public schools, while opposing the Equal Rights Amendment (see: Feminism), homosexual rights, abortion, and the U.S.-Soviet SALT treaties (see: Disarmament, nuclear). The Moral Majority was dissolved in 1989.

A discordant alliance between the GOP and the teabaggers is proving bad for the GOP and the country in general. In addition to the teabaggers' hypocrisy as it relates to their calls for smaller government and their desire for a theocratic government, they've dragged the country to the right on the political scale. Add their winning members of Congress have obstructed most of PBO's and the democrats' policies and have ground the legislative process to a halt. The GOP, having to pander to the fringe, have put forward the second worst field of Presidential candidates in recent times, more nuts than the supermarket snack aisle. (The worst was GWBush* and the cheating SCOTUS that gave him the win in 2000.)

Hopefully the people will wake up and vote them out in November.

I'm surprised they even needed a poll to figure this out.

The city I live in is electing a new mayor this year. Of the three men running for the job, one was a "teabagger". He came in a very distant third, and you should have heard him whine. What a loser. I'm so glad the local people saw right through him and have kept him out of office.

It's good to see the tea party shown as dirt. For so long they've been tooted as the save all of the country. Now people have realized how dirty and wrong they are for the rest of us.
