That's very true. Most Birthers are also Tea Party but not all Tea Party are Birthers.
I think it's because the Tea Party stands behind the Constitution and that's one BIG reason why Birthers go Tea Party. But not all people in the Tea Party understand what's going on with the BC issue. Many Americans don't. Why would they? The media hides it.
I consider myself a Birther. I do not think it would be politically smart to run on the Birther issue though. I don't think that's a good thing to put politics above the Constitution but that's how I feel. The issue should have been taken care of before the 2008 election. And again before the 2012 election but it's too late now. I will be back on the issue after Nov 2012 whether Obama wins or not. At some point I think we could see Pelosi and perhaps others being hauled off to prison. It's almost necessary to save the Constitution. Right now the rule is: "You're American UNTIL proven otherwise." George Soros or even Arnold are now qualified to be President. Just hide the Birth Certificate.
This IS a major problem. I just don't think it should be the issue of the election.
