For all their hatred of communism, these Tea Partiers sure do like the way they did business:

Bachmann is doubling down on her false statement[that the founders "worked tirelessly to end slavery"] and refusing to admit she was wrong — and not only that, now she’s claiming that John Quincy Adams was one of the founding fathers.

John Quincy Adams was eight years old when the Declaration of Independence was written.

Ignorance seems to be powerful in the gop...

And even more so within the GOP voters and constituency.

How else do you explain middle and low income conservatives continually voting against their best interests?

If you make less than 200K per year and vote Republican then you do not know the facts.
