For most people I know, the primary thing that needs to be done is send home invaders who are in the US, don't let people into the US illegally or stay here when they shouldn't, and make EVerify the law to make sure jobs are going to US citizens. Groups like TPE do not support anything that cuts into that cheap labor supply.
Solution....there is no tea party. We need to look carefully at the records of candidates who say they're with us in wanting to save the US. They've got the publicity to be viable, it's up to them to articulate the issues and win. There have been so many candidates that said they're conservatives, and just didn't have the principled vision to run a winning campaign.
The Tea Party label is useless
We need “The constitution party”.
So many people think that all the tea party is about is low taxes for upper-wage earners.
Once that is accomplished, only then can the issue of taxes be addressed and actually changed.
