I don't consider myself a "member" of the Tea Party per se, but I do agree with the idea of Smaller Government and Lower Taxes.
I agree with this. Just as well, the Tea Party has become a front for the same bog-standard ultra-conservatives that were busy digging us a pit during the Bush Administration. They have no credibility as fiscal conservatives.
This literally doesn't even make sense.
Meet the new crooks, same as the old crooks.
'Ultraconservative' implies some kind of consistency. You can't be an 'ultraconservative' but have 'no credibility' as a 'fiscal conservative.'
Fiscal conservatism has nothing to do with conservative ideologies. Socialists and communists can be more fiscally conservative than conservatives simply by having a balanced budget and keeping revenues at the same level as spending.
