I was right all along. I've been suspicious of them from day one. I notice that they've been very quiet ever since they were outed as a Wall Street funded fake astro-turf front for the GOP.

Thoughts?

Sure there are some in there that are grass roots but it is nothing more that a Koch funded arm of the GOP thuggery.

Beat me to it. I think you had a legit grassroots movement there before it got hijacked. The appeal is pretty obvious: Taxed Enough Already Party. Who really wants to be taxed more??

No clue what hating on Hispanics, pushing for wars and other nonsense has to do with taxes, but whatever, right?

It is always amusing to see a local tea party event. Knowing about 1/2 of the county GOP central committee and most of the elected GOP pols, a local tea party is a who's who of the local GOP. The funny part is that they draw few people outside the GOP infrastructure.

nope, because it is common knowledge. but since you cannot provide a link to the story, i will take it that what you said is just your personal opinion again and leave it at that.

opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one.

Exactly. The funniest part is they always tried to present themselves as some sort of mainstream movement when they were in fact nothing but half-baked recycled Republicans.

You just answered your own question. It is now common knowledge that the Tea Party was a fraudulent movement. Unless you've been living on another planet, I don't know how you could have missed that.
