I think the Tea Partiers and Libertarians have the most in common. The Libertarians include the property rights folks, as do the TPs. The social cons are more in the left wing camp. I have found that many support big government social programs. They also tend to want to legislate their brand of morality and social norms on everyone else. This is incompatible with the right of the individual from regulation, which is what the Libertarians espouse.

Actually the social conservatives are the most right wing of all voters without question, just as social liberals are the most left wing, without question, the libertarians, as few as they are, can be democrat or republican, but the party that uses libertarianism for it’s platform, is hard left on everything but money issues.

The tea party is made up mostly of social conservatives, not social liberals.
