There is no tea party, 3rd party as you and the media wish it to be. The “tea party” activists worked to elect Republicans as is evident in Republicans gaining 63 seats in the House and over 800 seats in State Legislatures. The only candidates that ran under a tea party party label were fake plants put there by democrat/marxists to siphon off votes from Republicans as democrat Harry Reid had his own tea party candidate to siphon off votes away from Republican Sharon Angle. See how the 3rd party worked so well in Nevada. What Reid did in Nevada is what you all and the media are advocating for all of the U.S.A. Reid
s fake tea party candidate was no conservative but a plant put there by democrats. Google it.
Okay, let me break the news to you. The TEA (Taxed Enough Already) party is a grass roots movement, not a political party. While TEA party groups have been a significant factor in politics of late, there is no intention to make it a unified, monolithic, top down organization, simply because that would defeat the purpose of grass-roots activism in the first place.
People from all over have common sense ideas about how government should be run, and they embrace a return to the Constitutional constraints the Founders placed on Government, especially at the Federal Level. That requires the involvement of ordinary people in pushing for reform, such ideas promoted or not by the individuals involved, and the TEA party movement provides an opportunity to exchange ideas, and even support those ideas, as members see fit.
But a political capital 'P' Party? NO.
