Specifically, are there New Right conservatives in the Tea Party vein? These are the people who have swept the House and won office around the country and are the loudest voice on the Right. The Republican candidate for office strongly supports most of their platform, making their platform arguably the most legitimate conservative view currently.
And I don't understand how you're going to get any of those voices, at all.
I think in general people tend to overestimate homogeneity (but probably fewer people than I think).
Edit: That came off not sounding how I meant it to. I really mean they keep quiet on various political issues because they know they're underrepresented and will get torn to pieces. I don't think it's actually a hostile, unwelcoming environment otherwise.
But back to the site at hand, I think it is a neat idea, but I don't have time to text with people I don't know about politics, because I work, have a family, and am old enough not to waste much time on politics. I wasted many hours of my life trying to convince others about the perils of fiscal liberalism, and the best I was ever able to do is to point people to the Peter G. Peterson foundation: http://www.pgpf.org/Issues.aspx
I'm a pragmatic libertarian, which I suppose makes me a conservative.
Drug prohibition, interventionist foreign policy, restrictions on pornography, constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, banning homosexuals in the military, increased domestic surveillance.
All of these positions are in direct conflict with libertarianism and seem typical of American conservatives prior to the formation of the tea party movement.
[0] These seem to me to be typical, though I didn't conduct a survey. To help compile the list, I used http://www.ontheissues.org/senate/Marco_Rubio.htm
Nothing would please me more than to see a politician make a claim of coal only outputting X carbon, and a sidebar slide over that pulls in Wolfram|Alpha or some other empirical data with a giant FALSE. This way, they can't use showmanship to sway opinion.
Maybe people could get points from calling their politician through the site to vote on future issues?
What I've described is an idea I've been kicking around for a while.
