What are the values/platform of the Tea Party?

We Answered:

They contain social conservatives who are at times outspoken but the platform itself is all about fiscal issues. Small govt. small budget, hold the federal govt to those things that were deemed to be their responsibility by the founders and nothing else. Things that are not there job are not by accident. Mankind is as mankind was. They understood that people are flawed and corruptable and as such should not be given the power to hurt us, the way that you or I probably would not live with a tame bear in the house. They have the ability to hurt us and as such our survival should not be based on whether or not they had a good day. How many parts of govt do anything and of those, how many simply repeat what goes on at the state, county, and city levels. We need to hack like crazy or else we will crash. Most of what goes on in America really has nothing to do with the federal govt except for the fact that they want it to. Even small govt people often become big govt people once ellected so we must reinforce the system such that this is not allowed to happen.

What is the Tea Party's Platform?

We Answered:

The Tea Party is a movement by individuals across the country. It doesn't have a single "platform." But the common position is that of fiscal conservativesm. Cutting taxes and cutting spending.

The religious right feels the need to bring up abortion and other issues but the majority of the issues are fiscal.

Why is it that the Tea Parties don't advocate for a third party?

We Answered:

I was excited about the Tea Party until I realized they were pissed off Republicans. Once a Republican is back in office, and these guys still exist, I'll respect them.
