Liberal Democrats

You mean the socialists, right? Democrats are basically socialists followed closely by the GOP. How do get the Tea Party aligned with that?

I'm a Tea party guy and what I stand for is individual liberty and economic lassez faire and government limited by the Constitution.

Although there are exceptions, almost all of the Libertarians I have met (over 30 years experience with this) have emphasized legal drugs, legal prostitution, legal abortion, and loose immigration. I see Libertarians as Liberals. As social Liberals.

Socialists? Democrats are certainly socialists. Are Libertarians socialists? I would say No. Socialists want government to be a lot bigger. Do Libertarians want government to be a lot bigger? I would say No. But do Libertarians really push hard to make government smaller? I would say No. Libertarians whom I have known are not especially fiscally conservative and do not really care if government is big or small. They only seem to want socially Liberal policies in place so that they can have some fun.

I do not associate the Tea Party with the Libertarians. At all.

I concur with that. And I think we were fully aware that it was going to take more than one election cycle to get enough Senators and House members to turn this around. We need more than 60 conservative members in the House and a simple majority in the Senate. Mitt Romney is only ONE PIECE of this puzzle. No matter whether you like him or not, you HAVE to vote for him, otherwise this whole situation falls apart. If we Don't, we get Obamacare, the continued economic quagmire, a failed Foreign Policy, and Federal Regulators that are ready to sharply curtail Energy. The Debates mean nothing to me. All we are going to get is Far Left Moderators letting Obama stand at a podium and lie with a straight face to the American Public.
