Regulations kill the poor businesses who are only looking to innocently exploit, pollute and enslave for the pure innocent purpose of profits for shareholders/executives.
Maybe my sarcasm meter is malfunctioning because I know i've seen you be tongue-in-cheek and (i hope) sarcastic about these things before.

not really. Thing about the tea party is that its very small, no power, no central leader that people can cite as the face of the party. That makes the tea party like bendable clay - people cast their own biases upon the tea party.
Your pics are interesting because its true there are morons at tea party rallies. Critics seize upon the stupidity of 1 or 2 signs & paint the whole party with that brush. People who hate the right can pick out michelle bachmann & say that this is the true tea party. I would say she is nothing but a carpetbagger.
Bottom line is that the tea party is whatever its supporters & critics want it to be. In my biased view, tea party is the only entity standing up against the runaway spending that both major parties created.
