Tea Partiers are mostly Libertarians - who at heart are simply disaffected Republicans. Tehey are greedy narrow-mined self righteous souls - worried about the demise of their Christian religion and Western
Civilization.
The Browning of America, is not what they are looking forward to.
That is no surprise. Steele is a token. Tea party was motivated by racism.
I'm much more Libertarian than Tea Party, but this "racism" label is just a silly slander--similar to calling someone a "witch" in colonial Salem. If I was a racist, my favorite economist and political analyst wouldn't be Thomas Sowell, an African-American born in Harlem that went through the exact same learning process that I did: worked his way through (liberal) college and graduate school, worked in government and learned of the incredible level of corruption and waste of taxpayers' money, and in response adopted a fiscal-conservative Republican and Libertarian political philosophy.
The Tea Party is now impotent and completely disposable by the Republican party.
The Tea Party "movement" was a puppet parade and they are no longer relevant.
The only way that they can remain 'relevant' is by attempting to elevate their patron saint, Sarah Palin, run for RNC Chairman.
The only problem with this is that the Tea Party isn't Republican or Democrat and is growing in both.
OBAMA created the Tea Party with his King George behavior. He caused the people of the Tea Party to come out and get active. They will not go away, they are here to stay for life IMO.
Sarah Palin IMO is not one of the leaders of that party, she is an admirer of it and about the last thing I can think of her doing is to get anywhere near the RNC chairmanship since she has a problem with the old blue blood elitism of both the Republicans and Democrats.
The Tea Party loves her because she represents most of what they want which is:
Much smaller government.
Less government hand outs.
Great reduction in government employment and pay.
Reduction of the government unions and their influence.
Makes sense, the unions are monopolies in government and the government needs to shrink and learn to respect the people IMO.
Palin is hated by the GOP establishment and there isn't a snowball's chance in hell she could win the election to be the party chairman. The Tea Party was never anything more then a collection of useful idiots to the real powers that run the GOP (the wealthy "campaign donors" who bribe the politicians) and that's why billionaires like the Koch brothers paid to bus those useful idiots around to different rallies so they could scream "socialism" and claim Obama was going to kill grandma. Now the election is over and the real owners of the GOP don't need those dolts any more so the tea party idiots will get flushed down the toilet like an old turd and the wealthy will continue doing what they've always done with "their party".
Its so sad that the TPers are actually gullible enough to believe that they are reshaping the Republican party. The TP "movement" helped the Republican party win back that House (yet failed to win back the Senate) and they are no longer of any use. The Republican party will NEVER let the Tea Party make the fundamental changes that the TPers "claim" that they want and the TPers are too disjointed and schizophrenic to be completely cohesive.
The Republican establishment looks at the TPers(and Sarah Palin) like they are roadkill in the rearview mirror.

You are 100% right, the racism charges are unfounded and weak. The Democrats/socialists/communists make them to try and separate people so some will go along with their bias, just like they cause class warfare in the United States.
That is all Democrat leftist stuff. It's known. The only reason there is a Democrat party is their politicians hand out the treasury in ten dollar bills on plates to people in exchange for the vote. That part isn't very flattering of some voters by the way.

She is an admirer of some of the Tea Party people, not a leader or member that I know of.
She said she would back anyone with good views she liked whether they were Democrat, Independent or Republican.
This lady doesn't follow crowds, she has them follow her from what we've been witnessing.

The truth is that the mere election of Barack Obama on November 4, 2008 brought a "certain element" out of the woodwork and they unified into the Tea Party. But thank you for being truthful about the fact that the Tea Party was a direct response to the election of President Obama, had mobilized even before he had been sworn into office and was not based on his policies.

Strange... I've been registered Green Party, Libertarian and with no party affiliation, but I've never been a registered Republican. I've voted in every presidential election since '92, and '08 was the first time I've ever voted for a Republican presidential candidate.
Oh, and I'm agnostic.
Sorry to break it to you, but you really have no idea what drives us, despite what MSNBC and Ariana Huffington have led you to believe.
No matter if the Tea Party is trashed, as the Democratic party is dead. You can recover from the trash, but you can't bring back the dead.
You will never see barry again after jan 9th 2012. He will be forgotten like a bad dream.
President Obama will leave office January 20, 2017
And by 2012, Sarah Palin will be hocking old DVDs of her defunct "reality" show at a swap meet in Wasilla
