The tea party, the new "grassroots" movement promised many things in the past mid-term elections and ran on "less government!" "less spending!" "pro-constitution!" though when it came to when the rubber meets the road, their campaign slogans seem to have fallen short. From Gov. Walker's massive spending and attacks on the unions leading to historic backlash, to the ultimate big government, anti-constitution bill, the patriot act, the tea party were almost in unanimous support for it. The tea party also stated many times the #1 agenda is creating jobs, but where are they? Is the tea party a fraud?
Worse than a fraud, they do the bidding of Dick Armey and the Koch brothers destroying the middle class. They are making America into a Third World Country
Tea Party members would constantly claim that it wasn't about being a Republican, Democrat or whatever. It was all about limited government and so on. Funny how they seemed to stop crying as soon as the House went back to the R's...
Many saw it coming right from the start. These people were played, plain and simple.
For the most part, they're a purely partisan uprising against President Obama and his agenda. If half the people in the tea parties who claim they opposed Bush actually did, Bush would have lost to John Kerry by a landslide in 2004.

When the Tea Party starting organizing BEFORE the election of 2008 - we were strictly fiscally minded, independent (I'm Libertarian), and crossed party lines. Since then, it has been hijacked by Republicans seeking to tap into a true grass-roots movement by repainting themselves as the solution (when they were part of the problem). Now, we have religious nuts and narcissistic asses that love the lime-light. And we have leftist democrats (the other half of the problem and mess we are in) just loving the idea of labeling the Tea Party as an extreme rightist/Republican movement. When is America going to wake up and see how both the main parties ARE THE PROBLEM and cannot (nor do they want to) provide a solution. They will continue to label anything as evil/nazi/extremist when they seek release from their death grip. It is how one group of elitists keep control. Two, supposedly different parties, pretending to be at odds, getting elected and whenever the one side wins - they "move to the center". The same people control both parties and those who keep voting democrat & republican. Dare to be free and vote Libertarian.
I find them to be among the most pathetic, inept organizations in the history of this country. Their members appear to be a bunch of racists, driven insane by the election of a black man as president. They are maniacal in their utter outrage of this development, blinded by bigotry, and completely inconsequential to the progression of this country. Their existence reflects negatively on the GOP.
The only good aspect about their presence is that they divide the party of Bush, and this makes it easier for Obama to get the second term. In fact, their continued presence represents a divided GOP.

Thank you for proving my point.
