They seem to be being used slightly by people though now. As in Sarah Palin..Michelle Bachmann etc...i could be wrong, i only slightly pay attention to american politics. However it seems to me that the Tea Party is in danger of becoming just a platform to use for attention.

Their main goals are pretty good though...although some are vague.
Identify constitutionality of every new law
Reject emissions trading
Demand a balanced federal budget
Simplify the tax system
Audit federal government agencies for waste and constitutionality
Limit annual growth in federal spending
Repeal the healthcare legislation passed on March 23, 2010
Pass an 'All-of-the-Above' Energy Policy
Reduce Earmarks
Reduce Taxes


Although, i also think it would be a much nicer world to live in if we could just nationalize one thing to pay for healthcare. Say power plants, nuclear. Fuck those guys..lol
As well id like to see most of the SEC fired immediately, and then slowly, replace everyone there.
see, I know what you mean about bachman and palin but look at the way more serious tea party members like paul ryan and marco rubio, and jim demint operate.
They're serious guys with serious ideas.
