The TEA party people have done this country a great service. Unlike the radical movement in the 1960's, led by the Democrats and Liberals, who tossed bombs, burned down schools, murder, bank robbery, the TEA Party members have been very law abiding and respectful of the opposing ideas.
Not the mention the violence of the "War on Wall Street" fiasco.
We got a Democratic Congress in January 2007, so much of the deficit spending under the Bush Administration happened in the last two years (2007 and 2008)
Who cares what happened when. The main thing is Obama promised he knew how to clean it up and he would do it. I know campaign promises are sky high but don't make things worse. He said himself if things weren't better when the elections rolled around then he deserved to be voted out.

It's pretty much impossible to prove a negative (that people holding questionable signs are not "real" tea party members). If such people are at events, it is reasonable to assume that they consider themselves part of the Teaparty. This of course does not mean that all members of the Tea Party have those same thoughts; that's the argumentative fallacy of association. But it is reasonable to say that they tolerate them.
And Bush and his gang of neo cons had been planning that mammoth embassy in Baghdad since the war started in 2003.
But it doesn't really matter, does it?
There was no noise from the "tea party" during Bush's reign because Bush is a Republican, the "tea party" is a re-branding of the GOP, Bush was a demi-god who, by his own admission, NEVER made mistakes, and spending money is OK if, and only if, you are a Republican.
Your narrative is largely divorced from reality.
FTR, there was no Tea Party Movement as we know it today when W was in office because we had never seen a deficit above $400bn until Obama started spending money in 2009 and Mr. Santelli hadn't given us his inspirational rant.
For most of us who are not Paul followers, this is when the movement began.
