I guess you also couldn't read the fact that 38% of the American general public is Moderate.  Only 22% of Tea Partiers are.

It's a group whose big issue is constraining government spending. It's hardly scandalous or surprising that they lean more conservative especially when, as I mentioned, there are far less Democrats per capita in the Tea Party than in the nation at large. Did you miss that? Maybe you were too busy discerning whether or not people you've never met are racist based on a series of questions, none of which were, "Are you a racist?"

Then again, I'm arguing with someone who thinks that a 2% greater college attendance rate and 1% lower rate of college graduation and doing postgraduate work than the general populace (all of which fall within the margin of error) renders a group woefully uneducated. I'd probably better stop.

Well, the American population itself is quite woefully uneducated.  See the fact that 90% of them actually believe in a God that there's no evidence of the existence for.

well that goesfor the rest of the world to, as the percentages is similar throughout. 

and funny, some of the greatest minds to ever live, believed in God, einstein, newton, edison, etc
