I read my colleagues blog "What's With The Tea Party" and wanted to chime in a little. I agree with the observation that they are making noises, but not the kind of noises that would let them win the White House in 2012. First, you have the face of the tea party, Sarah Palin, who quit her job as governor when it got too tough. See calls herself conservative but yet has a daughter who had premarital sex in her house.
She does not agree with what the Obama Administration is doing, and talks about how politicians take money in contribution for votes but yet she asks for thousands of dollars in speaking fees. She made over a million dollars in a year. How conservative is that.
I don't think the Tea Party's actions are compatible to what they say. They say they are not racist but yet every time there is a rally, they hold "monkey" signs with our President's face. They say they love our nation and yet can't even give our President the respect he deserves. You do not have to agree with his actions but as a citizen of this country, we should at least respect our commander in chief.
My colleague's blog seemed to be a little vague about what his stance were on with certain politycal views. He leans towards republicans and he should have realized that the tea party is just a smaller party of the republican. Eventually the tea party movement will emerge with the conservative republicans, since they really do not have an emerging leader.

The "tea party" was actually started by Ron Paul back in 2008. Ron Paul is a republican, but I doubt anyone would compare Paul to the rest of the republicans in power. He's more of a Libertarian. I'm sure if Libertarians ever got elected in Texas, he'd run as one. Now the tea party has been taken over by Fox news, Glenn Beck, and Sarah Palin. With those clowns running their absurd agenda, any opposition to Obama gets thrown into the "mainline republicans who arejust angry because bush isn't in office" false stereotype. As I've said before: America needs a third party in the white house. This video goes into detail about the tea party being taken over:
