No. But I only know of a couple. There seems to be no sense discussing any issues with them - they've made up their minds and no amount of information or logic or sense is going to change their opinion. Only it isn't opinion to them - it's the truth, and they heard it from Glenn Beck! I'm open to the idea that they have legitimate grievances about the government interference in people's lives. They are just going after the wrong people and wrong issues, and being used by the exact people they should be going after.
Another thing that really bothers me: the Teabagger that I know is so mean-spirited and hateful - she is living a pretty charmed life and has no reason to be. All I can think of is racism, pure and simple. I suppose it could be stupidity, pure and simple. A very bad combination.

Boy do I ever agree with this. It seems so obvious to me that they've been duped! Why don't they see it?
I don't know. It's just history repeating itself. What is the matter with people!?!
