I am not missing any point. You and others are the ones who want the TEA party to be ideologically pure and to purge it of social issues. Haven’t you read the thread? People like you have turned on certain conservatives in favor of left-wing advocates.

The TEA party was created in response to a government expansion in every facet. It does not just concern itself with one issue. It also is not simply a one issue advocacy group as you claim but a grass root movement for restoring limited government and individual liberty. You are the one claiming that it must accept social liberalism (which is for big government) and that those who disagree should go elsewhere to another organization. It is people like you hold to such a twisted logic that will lead to the failure of the TEA party.

You are the one arguing that social conservatives should go elsewhere to another group so that you can bring social liberals into the TEA party. There is no twisted logic involved in seeing how you favor big government intrusions into our lives then.

The Tea Party was created when Rick Santelli went on tv and said we are having a Tea Party protest of government spending. If you want social issues in the Tea Party, bring it up with Rick.

Otherwise, stop trying to hijack someone else’s movement.

Btw, I never said social conservatives should go elsewhere. Just that the Tea Party should not be about social conservatism. And I bet that is the only part of this post you respond too, trying to twist it, the coward that you are.
