Ask LJ: Why does the Tea Party support Walker?

[asterroc]

Apparently the Tea Party supports Governor Walker's union busting. I don't get this at all. I thought the Tea Party was a conservative libertarian group. Shouldn't they resent the government interfering with and attempting to regulate how workers interact with employers? Or is their fiscal conservatism trumping their libertarianism?

i think they mainly don't have an ideology because they're not centrally organized. individuals often have ideologies, coalitions are lucky if they have a shared attitude or general policy direction. the tea party is a coalition.
