Tea Party: divisions

The Tea Party movement is really interesting to me, primarily in the divisions I see among its members.
What Tea Party-ers seem to have income: anger/frustration that their money doesn't go as far as they want it to, and blame to the government for that problem. The Constitutional issues may surface first because they sound more principled, but many make exceptions to their Constitution-first view in cases of programs that benefit them (most common: Social Security, Homeland Security, the Department of Education. Most don't question federal funding of highway construction, either, though I don't recall that power enumerated anywhere and it's a tool the federal government uses to get state compliance on other issues - legal drinking age, z.B.)

Here's a new good example I like:
He blames the government for his unemployment.
"Government is absolutely responsible, not because of what they did recently with the car companies but what they've done since the 1980s," he said. "The government has allowed free trade and never set up any rules."

Especially interesting because of how many people with otherwise similar views, argue the government interferes too much in what should be a free trade world.
