| #3 No respondents listed social issues as an "important direction" for the movement. Which is why liberals react to Tea Partiers like vampires to sunlight. |

| #2 Three political issues stood out as being the most important to Tea Party activists. When asked which issues were "very important" to them, 92 percent said "budget," 85 percent said "economy," and 80 percent said "defense." No respondents listed social issues as an "important direction" for the movement. Ya don't say? |

| #1 "A lot of surveys have focused on the Tea Party movement, but they've been about what others think of them, and don't reveal the motives of actual Tea Partiers," said Sam Adams Alliance chairman Eric O'Keefe. "We decided to learn what the Tea Party leaders are up to the old fashioned way: We asked them." Gee, thanks for asking. What made you stop trying to ignore them? |
