Orrin Hatch, Utah Senator, Staves Off Tea Party Opposition (Huffington post)

SALT LAKE CITY -- The tea party movement solidified its presence as a force
within the Republican Party two years ago when it helped orchestrate the
defeat of three-term Sen. Bob Bennett at Utah GOP's nominating convention. But
it fell short this weekend of doing the same to Sen. Orrin Hatch.

The different outcomes raise at least one question: Has the tea party lost
some momentum or was it simply outflanked this time by Hatch, who had superior
resources and tacked to the right on certain issues?

What's the difference between the Tea Parties and the Republican Party?

I used to think it was that the tea party didnt care about the social issues and wanted to pull back government spending. Recently I heard an interview on Pat Morrison (an L.A. based talk radio/NPR station) where the Tea Party rep. (not sure which one) was linking conservative economic principals to social issues as well. I dont understand anymore, whats the difference between the Tea Party and the Republican Party? Can you simplify the Tea Party down like that, or is this more complex?

Fiscal conservatism is SUPPOSED to be a Republican value - hence the Tea Party generally favors Republicans.

BUT ....the Republicans are plagued by RINOs who, fiscally speaking, are nearly as bad as Democrats. Which is why you keep hearing about the 'establishment' Republican being beaten by the Tea Party Republican.

Many fiscal conservatives are mad as hell at the Republicans for letting Democrats spend like idiots. (or even joining them)

There are also many Democrats & Independants who think the Obama, Pelosi, Reed gang is out off control.

And this is the Tea Party. It's just a bunch of people REALLY pissed off about excessive taxation & spending.

Now what makes this a 'Social' issue is the Social spending.

There are people without Health insurance. OK.
Do we raise taxes to buy it for them?

See the Social issure becomes a tax issue.

Are you concerned about Global Warming?
Fine, to we install a massive energy tax to discourage use of fossil fuels?

Again, the 'Social' issue becomes one of taxation.

Do we use tax dollars to:
Save union auto worker jobs?
Get poor people sub prime home loans?
Educate Illegal aliens?
Provide health care?
Extend employment?

Welfare, food stamps, school lunches, urban renewal....

The list goes on and on and on.

You cannot divorce Fiscal Conservatism from Social Liberalism.
