My portrayal of the tea party is accurate and backed up by the polling.
I bring it up occasionally because there is a frequent effort to try and portray the tea party as libertarian, or social liberal, and even non-Christian, instead of the reality of it being MORE Christian than republicans.
Libertarians are always trying to reverse the facts of voting, and who the limited government, pro-liberty, voters actually are.
Oh I agree - and would only say this: as a Tea Party type guy and a Christian, I do not look at the TP as a movement of social issues - even though I personally believe in those issues. It’s like when I’m at a hockey game…I’m still a basketball fan, but at the hockey game, I’m focused on hockey, not basketball.
Clumsy analogy, but accurate.
