"Someone"? Pretty slim pickin's me thinks. Were you looking for me, myself, or I?

I should point out that you're improperly equating the bible thumpers with the tea party folks. There's certainly overlap between the groups, but the tea party folks are primarily libertarians—fiscal conservatives, but actually quite liberal socially. It's like equating some eco-terrorist with John Kerry. Same end of the political spectrum and even have some common themes, but simply not the same folks.
