if you think i'm wrong, do some checking on the following. google these.. tea party express tea party patriots tea party nation you'll find they take no position regarding wars. there are many more tea party websites of course. and maybe some of them take on other issues. the tea party movement began under bush with the first bailouts. it galvanized with the rick santelli rant on cnbc when at the end he asked "president obama, are you listening?" that video went viral. the movement has no interest in wars. it's mostly about spending and big government and returning to the constitution. as for ron paul. he's been around long before the tea party movement started and his views have remained mostly consistent through the years. but the tea party movement had no idea with ron paul in mind when it first began or now. the movement wasn't looking for a politician. it hated most of them. the movement wants good honorable fiscal conservatives. the movement is aligned with the constitution. the same one that most of the present politicians disregard. look, it will work like this. if ron paul is the best candidate for the movement, then he will be supported by it. if he gets elected, then the movement will live with whatever his war policies are. but his war policies will not be the reason that the movement supports him. that support will happen if he's deemed the most likely candidate to cut spending, lower taxes, restore personal and property rights, return government to the confines of the constitution and support free markets and free enterprise.
