What's the point to this? The Libertarian party and some of the tea party are both part of the liberty movement. Also a percentage of the liberty movement have no interest in electoral politics. Those types are in neither the LP nor the TP.

I would be more interested in a # representing those who consider themselves to be a part of each group. It would make a great set of 3 PPP polling questions.

Do you consider yourself a part of the "the liberty movement"?
Do you consider yourself a part of the "the libertarian party"?
Do you consider yourself a part of the "the tea party"?

Also interesting would be the % entering each from the left and right.

Yeah, I don't care about that type.

That data would be interesting too. We do have some breakdown of the tea party from CATO.
