What is the Tea Party?

[LumbergTech]

If you've been to a 'tea party' rally, you'd find that most people there don't identify themselves as a certain party if you ask them. The majority of people I talked to haven't even been involved in politics and never even talked about politics prior to this. They are merely there to bring back the country to the Constitutional values that the politicians over the past several decades have eroded. People have blame Bush signs.. people have blame Obama signs.. but many of the people aren't there to blame anyone.. they're there to take back their country from corruption. If that means being called a neo-con and being part of some fake news movement, count me in. I'll take Constitutional values over tyranny any day of the week no matter what it means being labeled.

sounds to me like a bunch of people who don't know what the hell is going on who form a group to bitch and whine in an incoherent way

i find it hard to believe they know much about constitutional values if they never talk about politics

The tea party is a joint production of Fox News and the Republican Party. The tea parties provide content for Fox and keep the Republican base engaged while giving Republican elected officials and party leaders plausible deniability when the tea party rallies look too much like klan rallies.
