The entire reason they've gotten legs is because there isn't a party platform they are aligned with. They obviously lean Republican but don't think that the Republican party is being fiscally conservative enough and certainly this administration has only added on to that burden. Its a size of government issue. But according to Keith and Garofalo they can't have legitimate beliefs because they are all half wit racists. Not making up her view, she was pretty direct and that media presenting it is pretty main stream. There isn't alot of challenging the core gov't size argument..but there is a huge amount of race card being thrown about. Its a dangerous tactic being used. And a TP'er who happens to not be a racist would probably be pretty indignant about being told by MSNBC and others that the only reason they could possibly think differently is because the President is black and they are stupid. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

The "tea parties" and similar groups that have sprung up in recent months cannot fairly be considered extremist groups, but they are shot through with rich veins of radical ideas, conspiracy theories and racism. source: http://www.splcenter...rage-on-the-right "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
