I can assure you that it is ONLY due to the neutrality of the Tea Party on social issues that so many independents voted (R)/Tea Party this last election. Break that neutrality, and you break the Tea Party coalition. It's as simple as that. How much you like it is irrelevant.

[GlockThe Vote]

Exactly. The social agenda will completely destroy the tea party.

Stick with what is most urgent and pressing - fiscal issues, liberty, and stoppoing the growth of the govt.

To start now with the social stuff would completely reverse everything accomplished so far.

The tea party, or any decent organization, should distance itself from perverts including homos, pedos, beastophiles and the rest. Why include those that would pander to the sexual deviants, predators and offenders?

Free Republic is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty constitutional conservative activist web site. Those who cannot live with that should simply stay away!! (saves wear and tear on my zot button - bitterly clinging redneck, Jim)

Too bad the internet wasn't around 160 years ago.

Here's what they would have been saying:

I can assure you that it is ONLY due to the neutrality of the Whig Party on social issues (e.g. slavery) that so many independents voted Whig Party this last election. Break that neutrality, and you break the Whig Party coalition. It's as simple as that. How much you like it is irrelevant.

Yep, it worked wonders for the Whigs.

And I will guaranFREEPINGtee you that if the tea party invites homosexual or abortionist activist groups into its midst or otherwise acquiesces to their demands or Marxist agenda then it’s all over but the crying for the tea party!!

[Smokin' Joe]

Well, our TEA party group began meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer!

That didn't scare away too many people here.

Ever wonder why so many people fell for DuhWon? Because of the vacuum, the empty place in their beings that secular statism just can't fill. It will be filled, one way or the other, such is human nature.

Thank you for your input, but I'd just as soon offer a less godless worldview. In the end, that will attract far more people than it pushes away--people who are looking for something the secular viewpoint just doesn't have to offer.

gandalf the gay: Well, now, uh, Ken Mehlman, Meghan McCain, Mary Cheney and I wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the log cabin, taking The Party(tm) by surprise -- not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!

ARTHUR: Who leaps out?

gandalf the gay: Uh, Ken Mehlman, Meghan McCain, Mary Cheney and I. Uh, leap out of the log cabin, uh and uh....
