If anything good comes out of the tea party it will be that maybe they can help support a candidate here and there who will actually do what they say they are going to do and not just lie to our faces then do as they please. Maybe they will end up helping the republicans recapture the house which will force Obama and the democrats to curb their spending to some degree, but I fear the are just the same old thing calling themselves by a new name and we will get the same old candidates that do the same old shit.

The GOP is changing, they know they have to or the party will die, they seem to be listening, they have a simple agenda now, lower taxes, smaller government, repeal health care, both parties know that the Tea Party has changed things

The US has become a country of entitlements, if you work hard to make a good living, the government takes more from you, but if you are lazy, uneducated or just unlucky, they will fund you, not what the founding fathers envisioned

The Tea Party is pretty diverse, don't listen to the left media in the branding of them, they are afraid of them, if they weren't, they wouldn't attack them

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
