Tea Party sympathizers are against government "socialism" except when it comes to their own jobs, a new poll has found.
Seventy percent of those who identify as Tea Partiers -- a platform that strongly decries government intervention in public life -- want an interventionist government to create jobs, and only about one in three believe Medicaid and Medicare are "socialist" programs, according to a new Bloomberg poll.
"Tea Party activists, who are becoming a force in U.S. politics, want the federal government out of their lives except when it comes to creating jobs," the wire notes wryly.
"More than 90 percent of Tea Party backers interviewed in a new Bloomberg National Poll say the U.S. is verging more toward socialism than capitalism, the federal government is trying to control too many aspects of private life and more decisions should be made at the state level," it adds. "At the same time, 70 percent of those who sympathize with the Tea Party, which organized protests this week against President Barack Obama's health-care overhaul, want a federal government that fosters job creation."

What a confused, hateful group of people. I bet most of them are on Medicare, who funds it? LOL. They can't tell the difference between a USSR style totalitarian socialism and Democratic socialism. Hell, they don't even know, they just believe anything Limbaugh sprouts. Zombies.
