See I'm not even sure they're a 'party." I mean most of the candidates that claim to be "tea party" members are heavily funded by two lobbyist run think tanks- Americans for Prosperity, Freedom Works and of course the billionaire Koch brothers. And naturally anything they do gets free promotion from Fox News. So there's a lot of funding coming in from two or three main sources and free publicity but does that make them a party? I think that just means they're not a grass roots roots movement, as so many claim, but it doesn't make them a "party."
