“TEA party is not necessarily about immigration, although most members might agree with the immigration position.”
You’re right, the ‘tea party’ is not necessarily about immigration. It certainly is NOT about being hijacked by Norquist, Conda & other lobbyists to PROMOTE amnesty, is it?
“I’m not sure what to think about this article, I don’t entirely agree or disagree.”
It’s not an opinion piece, it’s a presentation of facts.

I think if your neutral on an issue you tend not to care about the position of your political leaders on that issue.
This is the point of big government and why it is incomparable with democracy.
Every segment of the population has a diffrent view on different issues, and most segments care about one issue above all others, even as they might care about the other issues. Democracy forces us to abandon attention to the non-prime issues inorder to have things done right on the prime issues.
the result is a dysfunctional mess where politicians are free to act as they wish on 80% of matters which increasingly dictate our lives and upset us. Meanwhile as theses ‘other’ choices effect and indeed harm us people are forced to shift between issues affectingly getting nowhere.
Even if we could agree on how best to live our lives, we could not express that agreement in Washington on anything but a tiny few matters if that.
