Apparently the gays have too much power.

A University of Washington poll finds that a majority of "true" Tea Party supporters say it's not the responsibility of government to guarantee equal rights to African Americans and other minorities.

According to the survey, 74% of Tea Party supporters say they agree with the following statement: "While equal opportunity for blacks and minorities to succeed is important, it's not really the government's job to guarantee it."

Fifty-two percent of respondents also said that "compared to the size of their group, lesbians and gays have too much political power."

The latest data on the Tea Party reveals that the anger coming from the movement isn't unilaterally directed at government spending -- one of the group's core issues.

According to University of Washington professor Matt Barreto, who directed the poll, the Tea Party's frustration with Washington "is going hand in hand with a frustration and opposition to racial and ethnic minorities and gays and lesbians."

Other noteworthy findings from the University of Washington poll include:

88% of Tea Party supporters approve of the controversial immigration law recently enacted in Arizona.
Only 18% of those surveyed say gay and lesbian couples should have the legal right to marry.
73% of Tea Party backers disapprove of President Obama's policy of engaging with Muslim countries.

You're shocked, I know. Remember, the government snoops too much into our lives! But they should totally demand Hispanics to produce their papers and deny gays the right to marry.

Yeah, this is why I just refuse to talk to Teabaggers. I'm better off drinking antifreeze.

You know, it's estimated that whites will no longer be the majority in the United States by 2040. Maybe this is just some of the last gasps of people who don't want to let go of the "good old days."

And by "good old days" I mean the "let's keep the blacks and Hispanics and gays down so that straight whites can continue to monopolize the county's resources" days.

Good thing that the more the Tea Party members speak out on their "core issues", the more they look ridiculous to even moderate centrist independents, who ultimately will be an influencing factor in elections to come.
