I apologize for my overreaction. I like to look at the Tea Party, or TEA Party if you prefer, as millions of individuals united behind a common cause, but still being there for their own individual reasons. I guess that's the small "l" libertarian in me.

I didn’t think you overreacted. You presented a position and effectively backed it up. I considered myself properly spanked. ;)

I do think the debate needs to take place, however, where the party is actually established, with vision, platform, etc., but this will take time. My concern is that it is destroyed much as woodstock destroyed the “hippy” movement. It was an unwritten thing and when Woodstock made it mainstream it collapsed, much as a concentration of medicine in a bottle becomes diluted when poured into a lake.
