These folks are about PERSONAL AMBITION. Sarah Palin is a perfect example of it. It has nothing to do with understanding the issues facing the USA.
They are a bunch of angry noise maker and nothing more. Their 'grassroots' movement was spawned by people wanting to make money and a news agency that wanted to control the political theater of the USA for a variety of reasons. The people were angry for their own reasons and it all 'came together' rather than having 'grown' out of a reason for their purpose and expertise to back it up. It is corruption. The Murdoch empire and the Tea Baggers have a mutalistic relationship. It is not an ideal relationship, but, it makes them all money. No different than their relationship with a failing RNC. It is not a relationship made in heaven, but, if it gets them what they want, no matter the damage to the country, it is viewed as a desirable pursuit. It is pure unadulterated corruption. Successful political parties in the USA don't 'spring up' they 'grow.'
The problem with the RNC is that their political platform is antiquated and simply "W"rong. Example: "They don't BELIEVE in the Climate Crisis." It isn't about BELIEVING anything. It is about reading and understanding the scientists and their reporting that lead to issues that impact the USA, its future and its economy. The RNC has become irrelevant in protecting the USA from corrupt corporate financial institutions and its economy. The Climate Crisis is huge in relation to the problems it reeks with the economies of the USA and allies, but, the RNC simply doesn't believe in it. That isn't realistic. It is a threat to the National Security of the USA to have political parties that care less about the country and more about their personal wealth.

A country doesn't run on the rhetoric of 'hot heads.' It has to have democratic institutions that carry brevity in their purposes. The primary reason there have been military coups is because the democratic institutions in those countries were virtually non-existent. The coups were bound to happen because the military was more organized and fiscally supported than any aspect of the country. Kyrgyzstan is a prime example of a country with unstable democratic institutions. That is why, the Republicans can advocate democracy globally and get absolutely no results. A country has to 'grow' its democracy, a better example is Brazil. It is not yet a First World nation, but, its infrastructure supports democratic institutions within that country and eventually it will become a First World nation.

CINCINNATI — An Ohio tea party group says it will offer refunds after Fox News host Sean Hannity canceled an appearance at its Tax Day rally.
The Cincinnati Tea Party said in a statement Friday that it will set up a special e-mail address to handle refund requests.
The group says nearly 10,000 people turned out Thursday evening for the rally along with a planned Hannity book-signing and taping of his television show at the University of Cincinnati basketball arena.
Fox News says Hannity's appearance was canceled over admission fees. The network says the group was trying to profit from Hannity.
Organizers say the fees, which started at $5, were only to help cover costs of the event for the movement opposing big government and high taxes.
The talking heads of the Tea Party are making the rounds on cable and they don't have a clue about what the problems of the country are or how to solve them.
Yesterday on Campbell Brown these was a spokeswoman for the Tea Party and she had plenty of complaints surrounding the issues of taxes, but, when asked about specifics she stated, "Well, I'm not an accountant, that is why we elect people."
Really?
It only goes to prove the Tea Baggers are nothing more than rhetorical rich folks that don't want to pay taxes. They aren't problem solvers. They want to place candidates back into office that will give them all their money back without accepting their responsibility within their citizen status in the USA. The Tea Baggers have absolutely NO SUBSTANCE to their ? party ?.

Poll: Tea Party supporters mostly wealthy and educated white males
10:29 AM Fri, Apr 16, 2010
One of the most popular stories on The New York Times web site right now is a about a new poll that takes a look at the demographics of supporters of the Tea Party movement. They tend to be white, male, married, Republican, older than 45 and more educated than the general public.The story adds: "And while most Republicans say they are "dissatisfied" with Washington, Tea Party supporters are more likely to classify themselves as "angry."
The poll also found that the majority feel Obama's policies favor the poor and 25 percent believe the administration favors blacks over whites--compared with 11 percent of the overall public.
This telephone poll represented a national sample of 1,580 adults. So this is a national story, but I post it because there are so many Tea Party supporters locally. Next door in Grand Prairie, a rally took place Thursday night.
What do you think about these findings? To be honest, just on appearances alone I thought the crowds have looked more mixed socioeconomically, though not necessarily racially. What does this mean when these demographics are less and less reflective of American demographics overall? http://irvingblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/04/poll-tea-party-supporters-most.html
It is all about money with absolutely no intention of solving the country's problems.

Andrew Breitbart Melts Down at Tea Party Rally
At last night’s FreedomWorks Tax Day Tea Party event at the Washington Monument, a snearing and slightly slurry Andrew Breitbart, the right’s new media entrepreneur and sponsor of the anti-ACORN provocateur James O’Keefe, delivered a rant that was at times incoherent and laced with mild profanity.
Breitbart’s overall message seemed to be that the Tea Party crowd has been unfairly described by the mainstream media as racist and violent, when in fact, it’s the “union thugs” who are violent. As for the racism, well, he seemed to say, members of the Congressional Black Caucus sought to provoke racist behavior from Tea Party activists gathered on the Capitol grounds on the day that health-care legislation won final passage.
“I study media,” Breitbart told the crowd. “I pay attention to media, I’ve gone to the circus: I know a trick when I see it. And I see Barney Frank walkin’ around, I see the Congressional Black Caucus, I see Sheila Jackson Lee, taunting with a V-sign. I’m like, ‘What on God’s green earth is happening here? A half hour later, you see Nancy Pelosi with a shit-eating grin, holding that gavel. This was a stunt. They wanted to provoke you, my friends.”
The nonsense about 'having photographic proof' of racist remarks is unwarranted. There is such a thing as an eyewitness. Excuse, excuses.
