No, the Tea Party is the extreme arm of the Republican Party that was organized by Fox unNews and Dick Armey with hundreds of millions of dollars of health insurance company moeny that was funneled thru Armey's lobbiest firm... This money was used to hire hundreds of "community organizers" (remember them) who went out and di what community organizers do... The money also went into printing, media buy buy patriotic sounding organizations that attacxked Obam and Dems... The lobbiest monet also rented bused, took out protest permits, bought ffo, rented offices, etc., etc...

That's the prefect storm for the corpoate pigs... Dumbed down people and a couple trillion dollars sitting around with nuthin' with nuthin to do but collect dust... I mean, if you were to give me half of what Dick Armey and Rupert Murdock (in kind) have spent I could take the "Coffee Party" and organize it into antional force that would make the Tea Party look like a backyard cookout in comparasion...

Problem is that the progressives down't have that kind dough...

That is the facts, Sawz...
