I don't view the Tea Party movement as a political party, group, or organization. I don't view it as a group with common ideologies; I view it as a group with common goals (mostly).
It is not a generative platform based on a shared ideology; it is a platform of protest driven by an agreed-upon negation.
Anyone who calls themselves a "Tea Party candidate" isn't doing so to identify with a particular group and their wider interests; they're doing it as a mode of politicking.
