Is this a recommendation for the Tea Party or for politicians? If for the Tea Party it’s quite presumptuous to assume they need to be lectured since they were formed on the issue of small government and less taxes and therefore are a specialized interest group. I would agree breaking from the principle that binds them no matter what the issue would be stupid. However if this is about what politicians should do...then FORGET IT. In case you would like to forget, the majority now considers themselves pro-life, support traditional marriage, support enforcing borders, support no mosque at Ground zero and consider themselves Christian. If these issues make YOU uncomforyable..YOUR problem. If a politician chooses to strike against the American people on MAJORITY issues...don’t count on the support of nother conservatives who don’t consider money their sole guiding principle for support.
And just for the record...way I hear it advocating for less governnment, cutting spending and cutting taxes makes you a right wing extremist. There is NO issue that isn’t considered a wedge issue by some MINORITY group out there. People who are uncomfortable by the other issues may like to think themselves “reasonable” but in truth they label you just as extreme.
