I wasn't criticizing the tea party for being anti democrat, I was criticizing them for trying to come off as bi partisan or non partisan, which is completely dishonest. Many republican administrations have spent more than certain progressive ones, they just don't admit to it, and they spend on other things. Fiscal concerns are used as a cover for the tea party agenda of opposing the Democratic party and it doesn't matter that the cover is genuine as well, it's still a cover, because there would be no tea party if there was a big spender Republican administration in charge right now.
There might have been some grumbling libertarians whining on the internet, but that's all it would come to. And libertarians aren't concerned with any or very few welfare or central gov. matters, they want to solve everything with charity and the lottery, so they should by default be opposed to every administration as of date. They were not. Libertarians are being the patsies of the tea party, and that's my firm view on the matter.
It doesn't matter that you as a person, and some others like you criticize Bush as well, you didn't go out and wave signs against spending when he was in charge, but you do it now, with anti democrat signs up in the air. This says it all really.
The agenda of the tea party is to have a conservative (republican) administration in command, and then a few libertarians would try to horse-trade some policies as a thank you for helping this happen.
