I wouldn't say they are virtually identical. The TP members tend to be more concerned with fiscal policy over social policy than your 'typical' republican.

I would say TP members are fiscal conservatives if I had to pick a descriptor. There are fiscal conservatives in both major political parties, but more of them in the republican party so they do share more in common with the republicans. I'd say they have a lot in common with libertarians too though.

Default Tea party?????

It dosent matter what side you think they are on.
This country is so out of wack right now, due to
the stupid people that keep voting in the stupid
politations that keep doing the sames things to us
we need to unite like we use to do and show them
we mean business again, but oh no we cant do that
we dont have the time or energy cause we are too
busy and have lost our will (minds)
too busy working two jobs and giving our kids too
much. Like i said we have lost our will, just let some
one else take care of it, and it never gets done.
Stand up america and do what you do best.!!!!!!
