How will the large corporations (with the cash and influence) manipulate the Tea Party? Not much doubt that the Tea Party will give the shirts off their backs for corporations. But will the manipulation be evident?

Probably in a very similar way to how labor unions and George Soros manipulates the Democratic party and their Obama followers.

"The Tea Party"?


There is no party.

It's a loosely organized group of protestors.

Do you think they'll set up Budweiser tents in the public parks we use for our rallies?

With Citizens vs FEC ruling, worse case scenario, a corporate coup d'etat

It already happened with healthcare reform. A number of so-called "Grass-Roots" organizations were in fact funded by lobbyist.

People of Tea Party want our government free of corporate greed. Have to watch out for SOME Tea Party candidates that believe in our present system of corporate globalism which runs government policies such as NAFTA unleashing illegals to come work here and/or live off government services. Corporatism and governments of US and Mexico profit while the people lose out. Ron Paul said "Obama is a corporate globalist." Both parties are strongly tied to corporate globalism. Libertarian and Independent parties are more for the people and against corporate interests destroying the middle class.

You have a false premise so there is no answer. The Tea Party wants smaller government and to reduce the debt.
Race baiting failed when dem and repub leaders said the Tea Party was not about racism. The newest lie from a few loonies on the extreme left is to tie the Tea Party to corporatism.
