I've recently come to the conclusion that know one really knows what these tea parties are about. I just read a blog that suggested that they were started by a small group of libertarians and were co-opted by an increasing number of movement conservatives.
Okay, so I'm thinking it originally was about taxes and spending. Now I think it's about conservative tantrums.
I guess I'll wait for it to pan out on the next big one: Tax Day (April 15th).
