I think that's been the undercurrent this whole time (at least in my mind).
You can't decry intrusive government while in the same breath call for the banning or the upholding of laws against abortion and gay marriage without sounding like a hypocrite.
You can't build your whole platform around the Constitution and only abide by it when it suits your values without looking like a hypocrite.
Maybe the Tea Party should decide on a leadership structure, and fast. They need to keep their story straight.
