So the Tea Party at least in my family has no party affiliation.

More Tea Party rhetoric....why weren't you or your family concerned when GWB marched our nation into massive debt over an unjustifiable war in Iraq?

The problem with the Tea Party folks is that they want the rest of us to magically forget the 8 years of the Bush administration and the damage that his policies had on the nation. Then, they want us to believe that ALL of the current problems began on Nov 4, 2008.

The Tea Party spews anti-Obama hatred disguises as "anti-tax" protests, The TPers than don't see that for themselves are simply pawns in the bigger game.

A place where the anti-intellectuals can wave their pitchforks and torches, shout slogans and feel good about themselves.

You think this is about so-called intelligence? Tea Party patriots are the one group that realizes that being college educated and having a high IQ doesn't mean a person has any common sense.

I've been to the protests, and saw not ONE pitchfork or torch. And yes, I do feel good about myself. Good that I'm making a difference. Good that my voice is finally being heard (instead of ridiculed in the name of political correctness.) Good that this country is coming to its senses, and will get back to the conservative principles that we NEED right now.

And yet not a single one of the Tea Pary folk will answer the question "Where were all of you during the Bush years?"

I am laughing my ass off at how low some will go in an attempt to discredit the Tea Party Movement. Gotta love watching some get all up in arms about something that they should be supporting. People fighting for what they believe in and fighting back against corrupt government.

And yet you people have no problem with dealing from the bottom of the deck in order to slander our nation's leader. How ironic.

I'm pretty confident once Obama is out of office the Tea Party will effectively be dissolved as it served it's purpose of criticizing every single possible action Obama does and does not take, no matter how contradictory their accusations may become.

Which leads me to believe they are part of the GOP apparatus disguising itself as some sort of independent grass roots movement. Somehow the issues of taxes and government spending will disappear once a Republican becomes President?
Your problem is that you think the Tea Party Movement is a "political party"; but it is just a "movement" (Taxed Enough Already, T.E.A.) I is not a "party".
