Tea Baggers like to police the world but hate government (and taxes). Their rallying call is freedom except when it has to do with abortion, free speech of others, personal drug use. This is the same group that generations ago used to hate civil rights (and still does), own slaves and support prohibition. Until October 1st, America was the only major Western country not to ensure that people got medical insurance. They hate that but want tax dollars used to build sports stadiums. Oh yeah, they want Jesus for everyone -- whether you like it or not! Thankfully, this group is still a minority as vocal as they are.

Its really more or less one group except you have two factions. One who is really rich and can live their dream of anally fucking the group who is too poor to anally fuck anyone.
The group with the serious money? The 1%'s for the most part do not care about much of the "rights and emotions" issues. They care about making money, at any cost, to you that they can get away with.
They are a minority in number but they hold the checkbooks of our collectively elected asshats.
