I am interested in learning the reasoning of those who hate the Tea Party movement:
Do you think our government can continue spending and borrowing into infinity, and handing the bills to future generations?
Is is okay that China and Japan hold half our national debt?
Is is okay that the Fed simply started "buying" our endless flow of new government debt with printed money (thus devaluing our wages and savings), when the rest of the world and large American investors stopped buying? In effect, paying off our credit cards by taking out new credit cards?
Do you think that if government just spent a few MORE trillions (or tens, or hundreds of trillions) on "simulus," suddenly the economy will start to recover?
Do you think the fiscal conservative movement has been hijacked by the Religious Right, and that this is dangerous to a free nation?
From a friend I heard that General Mills and Kelloggs are teaming up to produce a breakfast cereal for Tea Partiers. It will be called American Flakes".
I heard Obama organizers were going to have breakfast campaign stops

Please explain any other reasons you have.
I agree. This is more than likely a direct result of the MSM vilifying something they don't agree with. The Tea Party started off as a result to the government irresponsibility when people banded together to protest what the irresponsible elected officials were doing, spending recklessly. Look where that has gotten this country.
Now the Tea Party has been painted as stupid, racist and bad. In fact it was just the opposite, it was informed people who were not racist, they just wanted to show Big Government that they were watching and concerned over the irresponsible nature. The polls in 2010 reflected that. I have a feeling that regardless of the misconceptions of a few ignorant people, the polls will reflect the same results given the absolutely AWFUL job this administration has done, pretty much the worst in history.
The TEA party is not a "they" is a national movement for a responsible government.
The original tea party event served as a demonstration by the colonists against taxation without representation, this modern tea party is a movement is against procurement without revenue. All the $14 plus trillion in deficit spending is nothing more then a $14 trillion tax on the citizens of the US, since we will be the ones paying it back with our taxes.
The modern day TEA party is not a thing, it's not a political party, or an organization.... and if you think so, please give us the WEB site for "the TEA Party", and tell us who their leader is, so we can judge them.
The TEA party movement is simply like-minded people expressing their opposition to an irresponsible federal government that is wasting our taxpayer dollars, such as in crony capitalist schemes, and spending our nation into bankruptcy. I can see how the left hates the idea of a responsible government.

The Tea Party is anti-Obama and anti-liberal, nothing more. They gather together in their mutual hatred for Obama and liberals.
The 'big government'? The big government, like the patriot act can walk all over the tea partiers and they wouldn't notice a thing.
Don't kid yourself. The tea party is not against big government. The tea party is anti-obama and anti-liberal, that's it.

You call The Tea Party what you want and I will call them what I want. To me there just a rebranded John Birch society, but the Tea Baggers are really taking it on the chin these days.
Of course if you had bothered to look at the article you would have found a link to the Pew Research Polls that show how much they have grown in disfavor. I guess ignorance is bliss. Put your head back in the sand and carry on.
...and why wouldn't we see some disfavor out there, after all, we have members of the US congress and senate making inflammatory, public statements about the TEA party. If someone hears elected politicians state that the tea party folks are terrorists who came to Washington to kill women and hang black people from trees.... well... I would expect to see some negative opinions out there.

So.... no specifics, just a straw dog called "tea party" for you to beat up on. Well, if that is all it takes to keep you on your high horse...... ok.
To all who ridicule the Tea Party...god has been watching and all your names will be written in the Book Of Death. Repent now!
