I have gone to some Tea party gatherings. I also gone to Union gatherings with Clinton and Boxer.
Tea Party people are easily understood. People who see taxes too high. Government out of control financially and socially. Protest and influence their representatives to counter taxes and government growth.
Only concerned with Governmental fiscal matters. They are not a political party. Its not a branch of a political party. Their not pro life or pro choice. Their not religious right or secular left. Just show em the money. If its costing too much they don't like it.
Tea Party leads and politicians and political parties follow. Its brought back the idea of Government for the people by the people. Its goals smaller government most closely follow the Independents Party.
There is a near complete misrepresentation by the news medium and big government parties. In its basic form, Tea Party is average US citizens. That makes this misrepresentation particularly disturbing. Politicians calling their constituents terrorists, Nazi, racists etc.
Can see some politicians try to lead the Tea Party. To become a spokes-person for the movement. Tea party has a bit of a authority complex. Its control remains with the individual members and not a single figure head or party.

hard to disagree that they are tools for warmongers. Remember when the dems took over in 2006 and they were going to pull the plug on the war funding???
Still, why didn't fiscal conservatives come out of the woodwork when President Bush was blowing up the debt? I smell a rat.

Who is defending Bush? Both parties are interested in furthering their own re election and paying off their constituents and campaign contributors. That's why union members got a pass in the Obamacare insurance penalty. That's why big drug companies pay millions in contributions every year to keep Bush's drug benefit going. (The knife in the back of Medicare).

FWIW, Number of military assets (personnel and hardware) has been shrinking steadily since 1987. Unfortunately, the cost of building the hardware has gone up.
Anyone can be angry, but what is the Tea Party offerring for solutions? Seriously. All I see is populist angst and politicians using it it for gain. Also, the Tea Party seems like more of a splinter within the Republican party than any real new movement. Further polarizing our dysfunctional two party system isn't much of a change for the better.
what a load of crap. Racist much? Ill informed much? gotta be some of the dumbist shit I've heard from you libtards. Let's create more boogy men why don't we.
People working and earning money aren't this countries problem. The rich are not this country's problem. Lazy, entitled, and fucking stupid people are. We are a country of sponges now. We don't produce anything, we don't have a viable news source, we live on 'candy' TV and video games, we can't do basic math, we expect our government to wipe our asses for us, and our government is corrupt.
Yeah, keep believing that crap that "the rich" are hurting this country
fucking man up and own up
If allowed that would be my longest sig to date.
Agreed...I'm calling bullshit on the Tea Party because it's more of the same shit. Democratic/Republican, left/right, doesn't matter.
People want to stick new labels on the same turd and think it's a solution.
They call themselves Tea Party Patriots, "teabagger" is vicious liberal namecalling in the hope that hipness trumps responsibility in federal spending.
Really, seriously, what lack of math genes compels people to believe that we can continue to support social programs at the current level, much less grow them.
I'm more Libertarian than Republican, the Tea Party is composed of too many Creationist, Anita Bryant types for me to "like".

Don't you love people? What problem do you have with half of the US taxpayers paying almost nothing? You are Unamerican. America is the land of opportunity for those who have none. For those who have some, it is an opportunity to give it to those who have none.
PS: I earned my medicare! I must have paid in 5% of what it will eventually cost the US taxpayer.
Now go back to work, somebody has to pay my social security.

Decline to state.
Political parties should be eliminated and elections based on the merits of the individual and not the dogma of the particular group they belong to.

My mother told me that anyone who wanted to be President should not be allowed to run. I agree with her.
Yes, it is used against them, but they started calling themselves that in the beginning when they didnn't know the negative connotation.

Absolutely. IMO we should replace the public funded primary system (aka means for each political party to select extremist candidates) with runoff elections. The majority of Americans would elect moderates, but they never get past the primaries.

This is exactly why the Tea Party exists. People woke up.
