The Tea Party is NOT a political party. But that’s what the mainstream media seems to be making it as. The Original so called “Tea Party” was in Boston and involved a bunch of people who weren’t happy because they were being over taxed so they decided to dump Tea into the harbor as a way of getting back at the Government. If that was done today they would be labeled terrorist and would be locked up under the Patriot Act which was signed into law by a so called Republican George W. Bush. Now you have some Republican’s claiming to “join the Tea party” as a way to get back at the Democrats, I would like to see some of these so called Republicans actually dump Tea into a harbor because of being over taxed, I doubt they’ll do that. This new Tea party 2.0 was helped started by Ron Paul, now these so called Republicans won’t even bring up his name at these “Tea party rally’s” which are really just political rally’s. Then you had people protesting on April 15 (Tax day) over the federal income tax, did these people file their taxes? If they really wanted to get a Tea Party going they wouldn’t pay their income taxes and rip up their tax forms in front of those post offices or IRS buildings, but then they would probably would be arrested for some terrorist act. Just my thought. What do we do? yap it up in the comments.
