The problem is that the Tea Party is basically just an extension of the republican party who claim to stand for these things and yet, when in power, pretty much do just the opposite with the exception being anti-health reform. They have never had an interest in it in the past and if in power they wouldn't have an interest in it now. But they grow the debt, they grow the government, they spend money like crazy and and they are about as fiscally conservative as a drunken Kennedy at a strip club.
The beauty is that they have convinced a lot of people in the Tea Party that they really are these things.
The only way the Tea Party can help to break the two party system down is if they run independent candidates who are not democrat or republican, but are Tea Party candidates and work to get them elected. As they are now, they are just going to vote republican and while that may take some power from the democrats and maybe curb some of the crazy spending they are doing, it won't make any real difference in solving the problems of Washington.
