re: #5 Glenn Beck’s Grand Unifying Theory of Obdicut

What specific problems do you have with the survey and the paper?

I imagine that Buck’s problem is that he doesn’t agree with it.

Having said that, there is one point they may have overstated.

1. Tea Party activists are not Republicans.

While 70 percent of FreedomWorks activists identify as Republican, another 23 percent reject the Republican label entirely and instead, when asked which political party they identify with, choose “other.”

However, this is contradicted by

Asked if they considered themselves more Republican or more a Tea Party member, more than three-quarters chose Tea Party.

So, in reality, the Tea Baggers could more accurately be described as RINOs.
