1) Not all tea-party advocates are Nazis, racists, fascists, etc. The core of the movement is based on Libertarian values concerning freedom of individuals; the media tends to focus solely on the idiots of the movement without actually looking at the other people in it. There are large factions within the tea party who disagree with each other as well; some favour the death penalty, others oppose it; some are pro-choice, others are pro-life.
Rand Paul (teaparty hot shot) says that people who attend "radical speeches" should be arrested and deported. So much for freedom of speech to the son of the most popular Libertarian in America..

Yet another Teabagger/libertarian aligned politician who cares more for economic issue, and doesnt give a damn about social issues (as long as they dont affect his PERSONAL social freedom... to hell with the masses.) The nice thing about being rich is that social rules dont apply to you. So if you are an economic libertarian, then you can personally afford to be PERSONALLY a social libertarian. THAT is why American Libertarians usually vote Republican and Conservative. So what if abortion is illegal..he has enough money to buy a good doctor to do it privately, unlike us little folk who have been trampled by his libertarian economic agenda.
