Again, the liberal position that if you don't support liberal ideology, it MUST BE because you have been scared by right-wing propoganda. In other words, there can be no rational reason for believeing in conservative principles (low taxes, small govt, sanctity of life, strong national defense).

I've seen what happens everywhere liberal ideology has been implemented...western Europe, Scandanavia, here in CT, any business with labor unions...these are all bastions of liberal policies, and all are completely dysfunctional...

Tea partiers obviously lean to the right, but that doesn't mean they always vote Republican. Many Republican candidates are rejected by the Tea Party, look at what happened in the Deleware Senate race in 2010...
