Reagan did not in fact provide a more limited government. He expanded government spending by quite a large amount.
dear, Reagan was not the government he was merely the President!!
Always try to remember that independent decide elections!!
And "Republican" does not equal "Conservative", and nether term is a synonym for "Libertarian".
all speak a lot of limited government while liberals speak of the opposite
yes it for for limits on spending, the liberals hated them
Which means it is in support of governmental control concerning morality issues,
check you facts Tea Party arose in response to BOs spending and debt
but is against government tampering in matters of business or economic growth.
Tea Party was about spending and debt
Yes, the Tea Party was originally about spending and debt, and that is something that Libertarians and Conservatives would in fact agree upon. I agree.
However, if was hijacked by the Conservatives, and the latest poll showed that a vast majority of current Tea Party members support Rick Santorum, who is quite definitely on the statist side of conservatism.
So, while there are obviously many people who make up the Tea Party, and they vary from person to person, I would say the Tea Party is now thoroughly conservative.
