I don’t think anyone has ever seen any such “GOPe fixation on Tea Party religious affiliation”, so you made that up.
You made it up to hide the fixation of social liberals/libertarians on the Tea Party religious affiliation to continue the effort to divide and defeat conservatism.
Why would it bother you that tea party members and supporters, know that they are typical for true conservatives, and are more religious and more social conservative than typical republicans, and much, much, more so, than the libertarians who are always trying to move the GOP even farther left than the one the tea party is fighting?
If the tea party doesn’t want to be ambushed by the left/libertarians, then they need to know that their fellow tea party members are not libertarians/rinos.
RAND PAUL: “I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues,” Paul advised. “The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.”
LOL two word answer: Todd Aiken
Other than that, I have no idea what you are talking about...
...sounds like a lotta Coulter-ish GOPe disinfo-speak.
Sorry.
First of all, you can’t base your premise on a single Rand Paul quote…hes all over the place all the time. But more to the point: the libertarians are more conservative than social ONLY cons on all but two issuess primarily…and really, one, gay marriage. Lot of libertarians are pro life, lot are not. But frankly, they are the most conservatvie on other issues of liberty.
