You’re making this far too complicated.
Should be one question. Do you want to kill alynskites?
Then simplify it for me. What definitively pegs someone as “tea party”? Realize that various views may overlap, such as Leftists who think a balanced budget is imperative and money should be gold-based ... but abortion is a right and guaranteed minimum income is a good idea.
I agree, these questions are more to find small government conservatives. I always saw the ‘tea party’ as focused mainly on the economy and keeping the government out of it. I live outside of dc and have been to quite a few rallies and have yet to see, for instance, abortion come up as an issue. Immigration only a few times.
