CONTEXT ADDED BY ADMIN: END OF CONTEXT and a whole other host of Libertarian leaners were critical of Bush's fiscal policy and the ongoing monetary policy. It just wasn't popular among Republicans to join this crowd in opposition to a Republican president. Now they're out of the woodwork because it's okay to criticize the other guy. Which is ridiculous partisanship. They should have been all over Bush as well, and not only about money. But to answer Bri's question-- and I know you don't want links to RP but I will reference him-- the original movement wanted a smaller government footprint in nearly all areas of governance. Less market interference, less government spending, less government control over social issues, and far less involvement in world affairs-- like wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ron Paul ran for prez on all of these things and had what I'd consider to be significant support from the less partisan among us. Personal liberties, financial liberties, and avoidance of entangling ourselves in wars and foreign politics-- and these things are straight out of the constitution, which our leaders circumvented in order to gain power and influence in all three areas. That's what the Tea Party should be opposing. This Sarah Palin bull#badword# is something I'd never associate myself with. It's a shame. |
