The Tea Party needs to get away from the social conservatives that hijacked it. I ranted about this earlier this year. "Taxed Enough Already" has jack shit to do with social issues.
And so long as the media is complicit, the right will lose on social issues. They are a non-starter when rhetoric like "racist!" and "the war on women" actually get idiots to believe the lies rather than find out the truth.
The right also needs to learn that screaming for fiscal issues to be limited to what is constitutional falls on its face when they will fight for social issues that have jack shit to do with the constitution.
We're losing this country due to fiscal issues. But we cannot fix it because of social ones.
What a f'n mess.
