“Besides their money, what exactly do the tea partiers
believe in? Specifically. I’m actually serious-not a
provocateur.”

My question to you is where the hell have you been?

Having posed that question I will take a stab at an-
swering yours at least partially. Tea Party folks
believe that our already over spending government
has gone completely over board and our economy is
at serious risk. We are spending money we don’t
and won’t have. They also believe that the current
administration and legislature is leading us down
the path of cradle to grave nanny state. They be-
lieve that the government has certain responsibil-
ities but that we are heading in a direction that
will gradually deprive us of our freedoms.

If the tea party talks about money, money, money to the exclusion of all else they don’t have a chance to sway the public. They are to easy to poke fun at by the MSM. Particularly when it’s a lot of retirement age people collecting social security and medicare while at the same time maligning “Obamacare”. They also won’t have my support unless they speak out against immigration policy, affirmative action, outlandish military spending on useless wars and occupations of countries. They seem to only espouse “limited government”, and “freedom”. Nice words but they ain’t going nowhere with that. Trust me.
