Most people...Tea Partiers included...don't have the ability to see the forest for the trees...
and...realize that the trees must be dealt with too. One must come up with a 30,000 foot plan...then circle down to 20,000 foot...then down to 10,000 foot...then down to 500 feet...and ultimately down to tree top level. Along the way down some ideologies will get lost...and some will get left behind. But in the end, the most good for the most people will be accomplished.
Unfortunately, the first sign of trouble...someone throws out a disparaging comment...or climbs up on their soap box...and the discussion goes to hell.
