Maybe, its because the Tea Party members are educated, informed and involved....vs just absorbing #Liberal rhetoric and #MSM Bias. They actually recognize and KNOW to question the lies and propaganda put forth by many politicians? So, this fancy shmancy Yale Professor does a study and is SHOCKED... SHOCKED YALL... to find that in his studies he learned that Tea Party Conservatives are... wait for it... smarter than he thought. Weird, right? He says... and I quote... But then again, I don’t know a single person who identifies with the tea party,” he said. “All my impressions come from watching cable tv — & I don’t watch Fox News very often — and reading the ‘paper’ (New York Times daily, plus a variety of politics-focused Internet sites like Huffington Post and POLITICO). I’m a little embarrassed, but mainly, I’m just glad that I no longer hold this particular mistaken view.” Oh for the love of God... step away from the above mentioned media dear professor. If thats what you use to base your opinions, you are dumb as a rock. Just sayin... ^tan Here are some comments from his post that I find oh so wonderful: I have a MS and PhD in microbiology, spent almost five years in postdoctoral training in biochemistry, am a researcher in vaccine development and structural biology, and serve as a reviewer for a major biochemistry and biophysics journal. I am an academic, make a decent salary, and have a wide range of friends, including liberals. I am also a Tea Party guy, if that is the label. The reason for this and my concerns are that these deficits are absolutely unsustainable and they will eventually collapse the economy of this country. The government has grown too much under Obama and our freedoms are rapidly vanishing. No arguing these points. Once the Hannibal Lecter mask comes off liberals are going to understand what it means to be careful what one wishes for. Good job being open-minded, professor. A NYTimes article reported a poll in 2010 that showed tea party supporters are more college educated than the general population: nytimes/2010/04/15/us/politics/15poll.html?_r=0 Dan you said it yourself, you live a liberal bubble. You only interact with liberals and consume liberal media. Since 95% of the media and academia is liberal, there is an echo chamber of people telling each other how dumb people opposed to their politics are and soon becomes their reality. Just because I dont agree with reckless spending and saddling my children with this debt burden doesnt make me an idiot.
