it's those values that got the butts in the seats and got out the votes.
You scream deregulation
So you're for more regulation? More red tape to build a business? Just asking

I am for cutting regulation for some industries/businesses and increased regulation for others. Yes, I support regulating industries and anyone that doesn't isn't looking at the issue realistically.
Noone is for causing problems for businesses unnecessarily. If that is what you think that regulation is then you don't understand it's basic purpose.
As far as these Tea Party organizations are concerned, the difference between the rhetoric that these guys use and the actual actions that ultimately get taken is a HUGE divide. I have attended quite a few Tea Party events... I live right down the street from one of the biggest "We The People" organizers in North Carolina. I go to them because I have found that, for the most part, these people generally share the same beliefs that I do when you get into the specifics (as far as policy issues)... but the organizers and the politicians that come and drum up support at these events DO NOT get specific. They only use these general terms. They have a totally different agenda than the people who are there supporting them and THEY KNOW IT. They are not educating people on the issue... they are having a pep rally.
99% of the time, the majority of the people attending the events to support the "Tea Party Agenda" are not even close to educated on the issue they are rallying about... and that is the truth of the matter. There is no better example than seeing a senior holding a sign that says "Keep the government out of my Medicare!".
If you really want to know the truth... if I didn't care about the scrutiny involved... I would start my own political organization and I am here to tell you that it's not that hard. However, considering my background and taking my family into consideration... I am not going to subject them to that scrutiny.
