The Tea Party Republicans are the neoliberal (sometimes socially liberal) free marketers, right?

Only if their son is gay.

Also, I'm pretty sure that people right of centre are in majority here. And even then people left of center are all libs, except for me the true leftist.

Tea Party is just conservative straight up. Sometimes with a bit of a libertarian streak but pretty consistently socially conservative. But yeah, very free market+anti tax/anti debt

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a socially liberal tea party member.

Seems like generally not quite rockefeller lean but fiscal con, social center lib vibe

Which probably not coincidentally ended up being the big thing in the house

Sarah Palin pre-tea party was a lot cooler.

Gun control could work too, but I would need to be far better versed on the topic irl so Rhodes doesn’t collapse into flames.

Or universal healthcare could work, but I feel a lot of candidates will be doing that or a public option.

Gun control is Jared's thing

Bullock still has the tiebreaker and Steyer might pass him up too, he needs dropouts

Once I return to Taylor, I'll show you what leftist looks like.

What's a "WHIP"?

A long angry string

We need more Posadist representation in the House.

Basically a bill that would legalise flogging.

The whole qualifications benchmark are rigged against candidates who pollsters won't even include.

For example, Hickenlooper only has 17k unique donors, but has no trouble in qualifying for the debates because he is in every poll.

Just limit the debates to the top 4.

Beyond them no one is running for real anyway.

Nothing real bad. WHIP+SNIP were basically going tough on crime to the extreme on rapists specifically. Spicy was super hard on rape w/policy

Yeah, I have twelve week abortion so I think we're fine on that front.

What are PRISM and MASKS?

I feel pretty confident that those haven't been laid out in Congress yet, might be remembering wrong. But they're both from her

Tea Partiers are a separate group from neolibs.

They are socially conservative types, that are often not aligned to business and financial interests.
