and if you don't know the difference between a Libertarian and a Republican, then you really need to learn more about schools of political thought, and less about dogmatic rhetoric. The fact is I have watched the Republicans grow further and further away from me for the last 20 odd years, and I haven't liked the Democrats, as a party, since 1977, when Carter took office.

Until and unless there's a viable 3rd party tea party party(party!) there is a distinction without a difference. Given the choices, it's not like tea partiers are going to vote Dem rather than Rep. The choices are vote Rep., not vote, throw your vote away on a candidate that will never win or pray for a viable option. For now and for the foreseeable future the tea party simply serves as a far right arm of the republican party. That may work in some states or smaller elections, but has proven cancerous to Repubs in the senate with the exception of Rand Paul.
