What could one (or a few) people do about that, truly? I agree with Ace's summation of the movement and his assessment of the actions of those who dislike the movement. I also completely agree with Derwood.
I ABHOR the fact that Sarah Palin has become some sort of figurehead for the Tea Party Movement. There is NO WAY (sorry ,for the caps) that Sarah Palin could be the vice presidential nominee for John McCain and could endorse his 753rd run for Senator AND ALSO embody the principles of the Tea Party Movement. Yet, every TEA event I see on TV now has her speaking. Why?
What could have been a true grassroots movement has been hijacked and rebranded by politicians and the media.
