We're going to have to respectfully disagree on this one Prince. I see no where that would indicate the Tea Party folk are NOT supportive of a limited government and are absolutely appalled at our current rate of domestic spending & egregious debt being accrued, greater than every other president combined, including "budget-breaking George Bush". You looking forward to the VAT? I can confidently claim the Tea Party isn't
Saying the Tea Party doesn't support the VAT doesn't mean they are supporting limited government. And opposition to the Obamacare stuff doesn't mean they want to see government power limited. The Tea Party folks in Arizona rallied for more government and more government spending in their support for a new law that is supposed to crack down on illegal immigration. You're probably okay with that. But that isn't support for limited government no matter how one may try to spin it.
I know you despise when you believe people are saying you said something, which you then claim you said no such thing. I'm guessing it might happen again here, but I'll try to walk gingerly thru this minefield
You and I seem to have different views of "Limited Government" I, as a conservative, refer to limited government as that which the government is constitutionally mandated to manage. Anything above and beyond needs some Constitutional ammending. You, seem to have a definition that anything the government does, constitutional or not, is "big government"
Yea, yea, you never said that. However, how else is one to decipher what you're trying to say, other than that, when its made crystal clear that support of Bush, WITH the condemnations leveled at him by many a conservative at his bigger government approach somehow gets rewritten as still supporting big government??
And no the Tea party folk did not rally for MORE Government in regards to AZ (which I'm gathering now is the reason your sudden turn on the tea party...anything that dares to support the rule of law as it relates to immigration, must be bad), they, if anything, support PRESENT government to simply enforce existing law. But that's really for antoher thread
Bottom line remains that the Tea party, much to the shagrin of you and Tee apparently, DO push for smaller government and fiscal responsibility, which happens to include existing constitutional mandates
