Aren't the REAL Tea Party members a lot different than the dozens of lifetime/career politicians who pretend to suddenly have converted to it to try and get votes?

I would see the liberal media on MSNBC and CNN talk about Bachman and Palin and Cruz as the "leaders" of the Tea Party (much the same way they would claim that Rush Limbaugh was the "leader" of the Republican Party) in an effort to destroy that movement.

And then I would see the actual REAL Tea Party representatives from different areas of the country go on the news and refute that over and over saying that "no" there are are no "leaders" of the Tea Party and that their party stands for "Taxed Enough Already"

The real people in that movement don't want lifetime/career politicians and they are sick of the Feds taxing us and then spending trillions on stupid shit like invading other countries.

It's the liberal mindset that tries to make them "bad" somehow. (as they do with ANYTHING that isn't a Democrat)

I think Palin and Bachman and Cruz are simply bureaucrats who did some polling and figured out that they could gain political clout by attaching their names to the TEA Party.

But that would be too much a stretch for people who get all their info from liberal biased sources who do nothing but parrot Democrat Party machine talking points.

"Team Sports" once again. It's a sad situation, and one of the reasons that nothing ever really changes.
