Todd Said:

Will Tea Party activists support the Boston Tea Party in elections?

We Answered:

Well if they believe in it to begin with, I'm sure that they will take it to the polls too. If that is what your asking?

Kirk Said:

Is this a war within the Republican party?

We Answered:

yes. Conservative columnist, Michael Gerson has called it the debate between the doers (Teddy Roosevelt, traditional conservatives) and undoers (Glen Beck, Ron Paul, Tea Partiers)

"But it was Roosevelt's political purpose to avoid a revolution. He sought to preserve the market system by regulating its health, safety and fairness. This is not laissez faire, but it is an authentic conservative tradition -- the use of incremental reform to diffuse radicalism. And few today would wish to return to 19th-century labor, health and antitrust standards...
All those few, however, seemed to be in attendance at CPAC, determined to sharpen an ideological debate. In the name of constitutional purity, they propose a great undoing. Not just the undoing of Obamaism. Undo Medicare and Social Security. Undo the expansive American global commitments that proceeded from World War II and the Cold War. Undo progressive-era economic regulations. Undo the executive power grab that preserved the union. Undo it all -- until America is left with a government appropriate to an isolated, 18th-century farming republic."

Herman Said:

Party Partisans: at what point is YOUR candidate too crooked, crazy, or downright criminal to vote for?

We Answered:

Honesty and decency are at the top of my list. I have voted a number of times for a candidate that I disagreed with because I respected the man's integrity.
