I see both sides as culpable in this, though. As we've recently seen, too many "fiscal conservatives" have a thinly veiled but highly intrusive social agenda, so the Tea Party will have to forgive my mounting skepticism over their supposedly simple theme.
As ER says, the polarization of politics is not serving us well at all. "Us vs Them" is in danger of eclipsing "Us as Americans," imho.
Moderates--true moderates, not MINO--have to work harder to drag the debate and the language out of the war zone.
