Yet, ask them if they have read Beck's "Common Sense". Every TPer I have met, to include my brother, looks at that book as scripture.

Depends on which segment of the country you are in, probably. I mean, I think out west its all about fiscal conservatism. In the south, it seems like there is still a pretty strongly evangelical Christian component to it.

It's fact.

The poll that came out in the NYT's amazed the left. They were shocked.

In one study we went from a joke to a party feared that needed to be painted as the fringe.

Keep painting us as that. My asian wife and bi-racial kids are racist too I guess.

Keep it coming. But trust me, the peope who matter, who are up there now, they get it. We're willing to spend some of our own money to screw with them.

Do you think Muslims should be allowed to build their Mosque in Murfreesboro?

I'd reform neocon's statement to say that its obvious that a lot of people are fiscal conservatives when it comes to the current budget problems, whether they call themselves TPers or not. Perfectly valid point of view to have.

Just that there are some who are so adamant about it and end up tying a bunch of other junk, like social policy and values, onto the caboose that it makes some folks hesitate to want to be on the official TP train.

So you agree then, that your precious party was founded on one principle and also a whole lot of obfuscation?

i think most parties are formed that way.

I meet with local business owners about once a month who are tp members. We normally have lunch and bring up the ras poll on obama within seconds.

The main topic of the people in power at the tp is making sure the government is sound and we aren't throwing our future away. There are people who joined that don't really direct the direction we are headed in that might have other issues.

the ones who are actually paying the checks and supporting the party only really care about one thing ... knocking anyone who doesn't have our financial interest at heart out of their office.

beyond that, I personaly don't care if the person votes pro gay marriage, pro drugs, pro hit the cat with the baseball bat.

So you're a fiscal conservative and social liberal? Do you think you're truly representative of your party nationwide; the people currently leading in the polls for the GOP; tea partiers south of Illinois?

Do you think gay people can be "fixed" by Bachmann's husband, NEO?

I really don't have time to go fixing people nor do i care to.

Gay guys are god's little blessing. They will talk to your wife about everything you don't want to and will never try to sleep with your wife.

it's actually you that doesn't understand what the TP has become. If you aren't pushing the social agenda you're not going to be supported no matter what your bridge group thinks

The people leading the gop are morons.

The TP is trying to push some agendas back in some parts of the states but if all we did was knock out obama and elect a bunch of new members who balanced the budget and made things fair we'd be happy.

The social stuff is more a right side of the aisle issue than a tp issue.

bridge group?

I'm 35 PJ.

My little bridge group was one of the main backers in a few of the last races.

You guys watch a few sound bites and think the TP is one thing and it's really not. Smoke screen to grab more votes from other classes. You can't pull enough votes if you don't have the religious right on your side.

You forgot to mention the bullshiz spending, which is the heart of the matter.

excuse me, titans of industry

and your last sentence is why your definition of the TP is flawed. You're admitting that it's not all about the fiscal side

NEOCON, do you think the Muslim community in Murfreesboro should be allowed to build a Mosque on the land they purchased?

Have no problem as long as the mosque is not used to gain recruits or filter anti-american agendas into the area.

Just answered it.

When have I ever evaded?

Me? Evade?

Laughable.

My name isn't LG.

Alright. Well, my work is done here for a while. We will revisit this when the Repubs nominate their man or woman!

So, is this a 'yes'; they should be allowed to build the Mosque? Or, is this a "they should have to provide evidence that they are not going to recruit terrorists or push anti-American agendas before they are allowed to build it"? Because, well, the second stance is, practically speaking, a "no".

let them open. Don't need proof.

But first time they have ties to a terrorist group or get caught spreading a dangerous agenda they are shut down.
