I think you made the point well. The primary effort of the Tea Party is less intrusion by the national government and a return (at least to some degree) to constitutionally limited national government powers. The obvious answer, when asked about a non-enumerated power, is “The Tea Party is concerned about an unconstitutional power grab by the national government. The question asked is not a constitutional government question and is, therefore, outside of the concern of the Tea Party except that it should not be considered by the national government either for or against.” I believe that Americans generally want to play by the rules and want to know what the rules are. Americans become frustrated when the rule book is ignored.
