Liberal Democrats

You mean the socialists, right? Democrats are basically socialists followed closely by the GOP. How do get the Tea Party aligned with that?

I'm a Tea party guy and what I stand for is individual liberty and economic lassez faire and government limited by the Constitution.

“I consider Libertarians to be closely aligned with Liberal Democrats.”

Yup. It is odd how libertarians viciously criticize Republicans but give the Kenyan Impostor a pass.

Correction...

You're saying Libertarians (not Tea Partiers) are aligned with the socialists.

I still think that's a stretch.

There are three words that apply entirely too much to the same group ~ to wit: Liberal ~ Libertarian ~ Libertine.

They all three imagine themselves to be a far larger group than they really are.

That depends on where you are viewing from. Liberal Democrats consider Libertarians to be closely allied with Conservatives.
