The arguments you are making are from the left. You do not want certain of the big-government left-wing agenda addressed by the TEA party.
I dont want the NRA to talk about fiscal issues. I dont want the Catholic League to talk about defense issues. Why should the Tea Party be any different. If you want Jesus, you dont seek out a stockbroker.
Btw, why dont you want the Tea Party to address the defense issue. Dont you want to know if the Tea PArty supports the war? Or are you a big lib because you dont want them taking on liberal ideas?
