What part of "tired of tyrannical rule" dont you understand?
Your biggest mistake is to equate the tea party as a fringe group of the Republican political party, its more of a independent sociopolitical set of beliefs of people, I would say a vast portion of the tea party are older folks who tend to vote conservative.
You do realize tea party backed candidates run against Republicans and Democrats.
The current Republican party mainstream has been hijacked over the years by corporations, just as the Democratic party has, I would guess the tea party movement is somewhat of a revival of original conservative Republican beliefs. You have to understand that for most of the late 19th century and early 20th century the Republican platform was VASTLY different than it is today.
Thats ok, keep laughing, keep bashing, keep thinking they dont mean anything, they are going to take this country back and nothing is going to stop them.
