The Tea Party is a misguided, disgruntled, exploited party of ignorant people.
The ignorance stems from the fact that they don't know that the Koch Brothers are pulling the strings. This is not true democracy. They are corporate stooges. The label "conservative" may not apply but the label "radical" certainly does. The idea that there is no partisanship is ludicrous. That's all there is although they are being exploited and used. They are however driving the Republican Party over the cliff. Cortez, over 50, adequately represents the Tea Party's constituency.

The sad part is that the Tea Party has a legitimate complaint. Corporatocracy has screwed them and they don't know it. If they were to band together with the progressive working class in this country, great changes in favor of democracy could be made.
