If only any of them had any actual SOLUTIONS or PROPOSALS. It's all very well to call for limited 
governent and for limited spending; the problem is with the cognitive dissonance when it comes to 
anything concrete -- such as how to pay for tax cuts without cutting entitlements (Medicare, say), or, 
particularly, military spending (it's funny how "limited government" fans seldom seem to advocate for 
"limited military"...).  

And, well, libertarians have been around for a long time; the tea party is something of a different 
beast, and I think it's difficult to argue against a preponderance of photographic evidence that 
suggest that the tea partiers seem to overlap rather significantly with the 'birthers' and other 
crackpots...
