Another poll is out chronicling the tea bagger's love affair with Big Government and health care mandates just so long as it's not coming from Barack Obama.
Of the 538 Republicans surveyed, 249 said they agreed with the tea bagger movement. Twenty-four percent of them said they want to see Big Love Mitt Romney nominated as the Republican candidate in 2012, more than any other possible candidate. One of the things Big Love is widely known for is while governor he instituted an individual mandate for health care.
When he signed his health reform containing an individual mandate not only did Romney defend it, he said he would love to see it replicated all over the nation. "I actually ran with (health care reform) as something that I wanted to do. If there are national implications and applicability, that would be wonderful," stated Big Love in 2006.
It would be rather stupid for people who claim not to support an individual health care mandate to wish for a candidate that has a track record of doing exactly that. However, their support for Romney along with vast arrays of blatant hypocrisy fits well into the tea bagger movement.
Though they claim to be small government conservatives with an aversion toward fiscal irresponsibility, in truth they are anything but. Every poll has shown that in addition to being the base of the Republican Party, they are not against spending, Social Security, Medicare, unemployment, tax payer funded employment, or even against politicians who have legislated individual mandates. They're simply against Democrats.
