37% of tea partiers support raising taxes on the rich, oddly enough

That's interesting:

Nearly 2 in 5. And they're more willing than generic Republicans to support defense cuts and tax code reform.

Republicans and Independents are largely indistinguishable on entitlement reform; Democrats and Independents are pretty close on defense spending.

1. what is horrible is that there's majority support for significant changes to ss/medicare.

i'd bet it consists of getting rid of "waste" & "cheaters" but it can be spun.

2. That's at 42% nationally; only a majority of tea partiers

But that may have been what you meant.
