Srandl,
I have no problem with the Tea Party Contract For America at face value. I think it is worthy of the party to have a simple, clear statement of what it believes in, and what it hopes to accomplish.
My problem with the Tea Party is the fringe elements of it - the racists, the anti-immigration, the gun-toting patriot "let's take back our country" groups, the "birthers" and "transcriptionists", the neo-con apologists.
Wait, is there anybody left?
