The Tea Party Marching to its Own Drummer

The Boston Tea Party was about taxation without representation.  Who in America doesn’t have a representative?

The Tea Party of 2010 has been that it is all about Federal government interference in everyone’s life and the national debt.  Just this past week Dick Armey, a former U.S. Representative from Texas, was interviewed on television and said that members of the movement had many different views about social issues. He insisted that social issues are not part of the Tea Party agenda.

Now we have the Values Voters Summit.  Who attends their event?  Of course Christine O’Donnell was there along with a list of the usual GOP leadership group.  This is a group that opposes abortion in all circumstances including rape and incest.  They oppose gay marriage.   

They, of course, support your right to buy as many guns as you can afford.  They are lead by the conservative evangelical Christians.

What is Mitt Romney doing in their midsts?  I thought he was a Mormon.

How many Independents and Democrats will follow this agenda?  Did these people ever hear about Barry Goldwater or George McGovern?  Their movements took over their parties but soundly lost in the general elections.
