The Tea Party Is a Religious Movement

"... Tea Partyers aren't being totally honest with the rest of their fellow citizens. They're concerned about runaway debt and credit downgrades not as matters of arithmetic. Such problems are seen rather as symptoms of an underlying disease: America's drift from its biblical-constitutional roots.
...
Make no mistake: The Tea Party is a religious movement."

This guy used to work for The Boner. If he's got issues with the Baggers, and Boner sees no daylight between himself and the Baggers, hmmmmm, could there be yet more trouble in GOOPerville?

I do think he's correct in describing them as a religious movement, but a movement of religious zealots would probably be more accurate.

4. It is -- they worship money.
They are delusional; they think that if their taxes are eliminated, they will be able to keep all that money. Rush Limbaugh et al. have made up a big batch of Kool-Aid for the bastards and now they're getting in line with their cups, waiting by the punch bowl.
