The Tea Party was never just about economic issues. It was and is about Constitutional liberty. Economic issues are just one facet of the threat spectrum.

Maybe from your experience or perspective.

If it were just about economic issues, then the Tea Party would not be all that different from Occupy Wall Street.

Both born in raging anger over the Wall Street bailouts.

Clearly that’s not the case.

You are correct. It is a battle against big government which is far bigger than taxes and bailouts. Inspired by the citizens revolt leading up to the revolution, it is about protecting our god given rights and freedoms, which extends across all spectrums. I can understand it not being overly focused on abortion but the current judicial attack on marriage and the immigration issue are front and center.

Also believe message discipline is important to success but not exclusion of any issue outside of taxes and spending.

With all the issues related to Constitutional liberty, it’s like playing whack-a-mole for which one is at the forefront.
