Abstract
.
While the Tea Party Movement has emerged as a true player in American
politics, it has not yet come to be identified with a set of core beliefs.
The authors use survey data to discuss the opinions that make up the
movement.

Excerpt
.
While the libertarian strand is strong, the wistful nostalgia of TPM
supporters is primarily composed of their blend of ontological insecurity
and nativist dispositions. One rally organizer summed up the sentiment at
the rally: And why do you think they [illegal immigrants] wanted to come?
They wanted to come because it [the U.S.] is successful. But after they
get here, what do they want to do? They want to change it. And see, you
cant change it and be successful. It just wont work This mix of nativism
and fear of change is also expressed by the distance TPM supporters feel
from President Obama. While 41 percent of TPM supporters felt that former
president Clinton was not at all like them, 81 percent feel that way about
President Obama.
.
It is a truism of American politics that the first midterm election in a
presidential administration results in losses for the Presidents party.
Recognizing that the Tea Party Movement is one such backlash is key to
understanding whats new here (and whats not). The coalition of views that
makes up the TPM is largely the same set of dispositions that makes up the
Republican Party. Whats new about the TPM is its syncretic cultural work
melding 21st century discontent to the symbolic memory of 18th century
America. One TPM supporter says it all: We want to save America. We want
to see this country go back to the original success formula that made us
what we are today.

Researchers found that respondents who felt positively toward the Tea
Party movement held the following primary cultural and political
dispositions more often than other voters did:
.
Authoritarianism: respondents believe that obedience by children is more
important than creativity, and that deference to authority is an important
value.
.
Libertarianism: respondents believe there should not be regulations or
limitations on expressions such as clothing, television shows, and musical
lyrics.
.
Fear of change/ontological insecurity: respondents sense that things are
changing too fast or too much.
.
Nativism: respondents hold negative attitudes toward immigrants and
immigration.
