Are you for a balanced budget?

Are you for liberty?

Do you agree with the Constitution?

I think everyone is for a balanced budget, until they get to spend the budget...

The Tea Party does not stand for liberty, they are anti-woman rights, anti-gay rights, anti-religious freedom, and so forth.  Yeah, I love liberty, which is why I could never vote for the Tea Party.

I can't name one politican who doesn't agree with the Constition, its the interpretation that matters, and I guess those who interpret differently are thought to be against the Constution instead of against your interpretation.

Here's a great political sight with insight and polling, in case your interested...

Do you have any evidence to back up your claims?

They want to take away a woman's right to abortion, even in cases of rape and incest.  They oppose equal rights for gay couples.  They are the driving force behind the oppostion to mosque construction all around the country.  They want to teach Creationism in public schools.  The list goes on and on.

While I wouldn't doubt that the typical tea-party supporter is pro-life, I highly doubt that there is any evidence to suggest that the majority hold as extreme of a position as you suggest; and commonly elected representatives of both the Republican and Democrat parties  are pro-life which makes this a fairly mainstream opinion. 

I wouldn't be surprised if Tea Party supporters opposed gay marriage, but being that the majority of people in one of the most socially liberal states (California) voted to ban gay marriage this can't be seen as an extreme position.

I'm certain that the majority of Tea Party supportes opposed the ground zero mosque, but so did the majority of American, the majority of Republicans and the majority of Democrats. Beyond that, I doubt you could find another mosque which is opposed in any signficant way by the majority of Tea Party supporters.

 

 

Basically, you need to stop getting your information from extreme left-wing blogs ...

To add to this, the Tea Party does not base law on there idea's of how they wish you conducted yourself. it's what makes them better then the other parties.

Both the Democrats and Republicans have an idea about how you should conduct yourself, and make laws accordingly. Republicans make laws to discourage gay behavior, and promote Christian values though law. Democrats force charity through law.

Both are wrong. The Tea Party knows this. So while I am sure most are anti-abortion or gay marriage, they are equally against telling you how to live.

They are against the government forcing another's idea of morality onto you. This includes there own morality (what sets them apart).
