This question shows that you either do not live in the US or that you are cut off from reality. From getting rid of several candidates in the primaries to playing an important role in the defeat of the Dims in the 2010 polls, the TEA Party has delivered. At least two RINOs ended their careers in tears (Arlen Specter and Bob Bennett).
The TEA Party is also the reason that many mainstream RINOs like Newt Gingrich and the Heritage Foundation have been forced to oppose the individual mandate. The TEA Party is responsible for educating the morons at Heritage Foundation that the individual mandate amounts to socialism. Heritage prescribed the individual mandate in 1991.
Oh, I’m so impressed.
Yeah, the Tea Party gave us Christine O’Donnell and a Dem senator in Maryland; clueless Joe Miller in Alaska; a Congressional “caucus” (what do they do, anyway?) led by gaffe-prone Michelle Bachmann; and, it gave us libertarian Ron Paul son in the U.S. Senate.
Wow.
