yo dude...
tea party stands for Taxed Enough Already, and at it’s inception had both pubs and democrats in it...
it is a fiscal, limited government movement, always has been, always will be..
go start your own damn movement, and leave this one the way it is...
You can’t divide conservatism into partitions, cafeteria style. Conservatism is a whole, or it is an impostor.
Trying to differentiate fiscal issues from so-called “social” ones is a fool’s errand. If the whole is not embraced, the whole structure will fail.
