Your personal opinion of the TEA party is in no way, shape, or form an accurate answer to the OP's question.

It's amazing how many people in this country do feel that what you believe is extremist. Many people out there can't survive without the gov. in their lives.

That HAS to be the t-party strategy - not to discuss the social issues, else they will look like extreme right wing loons and will lose the independents and some Rs.

As long as it doesn't affect their wallets or stock portfolios, who cares?

Extreme politics/extreme religion are dangerous bedfellows.

Yet when you ask them to tell you what exactly is extremist about wanting that you never get an answer. You get more insults and diversions.

That's it!

But to be fair, they have duped the secular followers into believing it isn't a christian party. (Same way they duped the non-bigots into believing it isn't a party of racists.)

At what point will you realize that no matter how hard you try you won't be able to stick something to the Tea Party that isn't true? After the November elections will you give up or will you continue? At some point you'll have to wake up and realize that the only people who believe the ignorance you post are those who already hate the Tea Party and those people hate the Tea Party because it means the end of their party.
