TELL ME AGAIN ABOUT THE STRICTLY SECULAR, ECONOMY-OBSESSED TEA PARTY MOVEMENT

Yeah, the teabaggers are so different from old-fashioned Republican God-botherers, aren't they?

Twenty percent of Tea Party supporters would like to see [Texas governor Rick] Perry as the nominee, according to a McClatchy-Marist poll released Wednesday. Perry displaces former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) as the top Tea Party candidate in Marist's April poll; Huckabee's since withdrawn from the race.

The pray-for-rain-and-then-for-Hooverism guy has replaced the guy who's an ordained minister as their fave. No wonder these folks don't give a crap that the Congress they elected hasn't proposed any jobs legislation -- that was never Priority #1 for them at all, was it?
