 * The Libertarian Party tends to be far-right in its economic views while far-left on social issues.

Republican Party / GOP
Republicans generally believe in a completely free market with limited government intervention in the economy. However, they support big government when it comes to social issues, religion, and war in the name of "family values" and "protecting democracy." President Bush and his Republican and big-business friends helped bring about the worst era in recent American history, complete with a near economic collapse, two wars, and uncountable Constitutional abuses. Many Republicans have publicly stated they want Obama to fail, which is ironic considering that when Bush was president Republicans were saying it was "unpatriotic" and "anti-American" to question the president.
 * Free market economy without regulation, government intervention in social issues



Libertarian Party
Libertarians usually share their economic beliefs with Republicans. However, they often differ on social issues. While Republicans like to restrict social freedoms, Libertarians believe drug use, gay rights, and other controversial "hot button" social issues should be free from government intervention.
 * Free market economy without regulation, free social environment

"Constitution" Party
It is very likely no member of the Constitution Party has ever bothered to read the Constitution. They believe themselves to be true patriots and protectors of a Christian nation. They, like Republicans and Libertarians, believe economic issues should be entirely left for the market to deal with. On social issues though, the "Constitution" Party believes in establishing Biblical law. In effect, they want to turn the United States into the Christian version of Iran. Republicans also want to do that, but they don't usually say it outright. The "Constitution" Party freely admits it, completely igonring the fact America's founders did not want a theocracy and completely ignoring the fact the Constitution never mentions God anywhere in it.
 * Free market economy without regulation, highly restrictive social environment based on the Bible

Tea Party Movement
Angry white conservative racists who hate Obama because he's a black liberal with a chance of solving the country's problems (which, if he solved them, would prove conservative ideas are simply wrong). They often portray Obama in blackface and use slanderous language against him and other Democrats. Then they claim they aren't racist, but simply don't like out-of-control government spending and government growth. All Tea Party members were mysteriously silent and nowhere to be found while Bush was ruining the economy, starting wars, allowing torture and warrantless wiretapping and arrests, and moving the US toward a theocracy among other things. In other words, they support out-of-control government spending, government growth, and Constitutional abuse as long as it's done by a Republican.
 * Everything is bad if a Democrat does it; everything is good as long as it opposes Obama

Nothing the "Tea Party" supports or believes in actually has anything whatsoever to do with the Boston Tea Party. Rather, it is an attempt to cloak themselves in patriotism so they can declare everyone else hates America.
