The Tea Party is a media creation.

They are Republicans.

1. Always have been, always will be.
When the Tea Party brand gets used up, they will just re-brand and keep on selling the propaganda to a willing and eager media elite.

2. They are a faction of the Republicans
And that faction got a foot in the door. I know a lot of reasonable, conservative Republicans who think that faction is just crazy and dangerous.

They are a hateful bunch of noisy, selfish white people.

3. I live in blood red Idaho - there are no reasonable conservative republicans here.
They believe all Democrats should be hunted to extinction just like wolves.

So yeah, from where I stand tea baggers are republicans.

5. Some are
And some are Libertarians. Some are Independents. And all of them are hypocritical, mean, and selfish.

Sounds like fun up there. I love taking on the really rabid ones. There's really no way they can win when you call them correctly on their shit.

4. Yep
I see them a bush lovers who were spurned by bush. Made to look like fools for their undying bush support. Bush ran up the deficits, grew government larger than ever and left office without any abortion bill, immigration bill, or a better SS system.

And then Obama took bush's place in the white house. A black man in their white house!

They are just republicans going crazy.
