I think it’s been established that they aren’t motivated by reason in any sense, but inchoate rage and fear. Some of that is simply because of the economy; had McCain won we still would have seen a certain amount of ongoing panic and anxiety due to the economic situation.

But much of the teabaggers motivation is rage, fear, and specifically directed at the election of the first black POTUS- and he’s a Dem.
Fear of a Barack Planet.

Up ding for one of my favorite words “inchoate.” I actually try to work it into every one of my plays. Love that word.
