The Tea Party - how frightening is this movement?

The one thing that always surprises me about most Republicans and Tea-Partiers in special is this strange mix of ideas of wanting less government in fiscal issues (which is good, I'm a liberal in the European meaning of the word - comes from being liberated from government) but at the same time want tons of government in your livingroom - no gay marriage, no abortion etc.

I saw an interview with Charlie Christ and he is how I would want to see a politician. He says he wants to limit government in ALL aspects of one's life. Now that's consistent.

I've never heard anyone accuse Charlie Crist of being consistent before, but it's always good to see you around, Benga.

lol, well he was in that few interviews I saw, but maybe he wants to re-invent himself as he's running as an independent. I'm not from the US, I just visit regularly for work and love to follow US politics so I might just have missed his worse moments.
