The Tea Party started, as stated, as an upswell against wasteful spending.
It has, since then, devolved into a useless mass of conflicting ideology and has been infiltrated and taken over by the dingbats which would otherwise be kept far away from policy making (and rightfully so). So now they represent Republican ideology in the same way that Loose Change represents Obama's foreign policy.
