Nice job of sidestepping the issue...

and for your information the original tea party (Taxes Enoug Already) was made up of b
BOTH democrats and republicans who had enough of overtaxation..

the social(ist) conservatives came along later and tried to change the agenda....

I didn’t side step any issue, social conservatives are conservative, anti-socialist voters, and the social liberals vote democrat.

That is just the facts.

The fact is that naturally the tea party is made up mostly of social conservatives (and republicans), I didn’t say that was their issue, but as usual, social liberals detest the tea party.

Social conservatives, are the conservatives.

Tea Party support correlates to religious affiliation, survey finds

The Tea Party hardly claims to be a religious movement - it mostly advocates for smaller government and lower taxes - but feelings about the movement correlate to affiliation with certain religious groups, according to new survey data from the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life.

White evangelical Protestants are roughly five times more likely to agree with the Tea Party movement than to disagree with it, Pew found. American Jews, meanwhile, are nearly three times as likely to disagree with the movement than agree with it.

Tea Party supporters are “much more likely than registered voters as a whole to say that their religion is the most important factor in determining their opinions on ... social issues” like abortion and same-sex marriage, according to the Pew analysis.

“They draw disproportionate support from the ranks of white evangelical Protestants,” the analysis said of the Tea Party.
