Can the Tea Party split the Republican Party and end up helping the Democrats?

We Answered:

Already have. Karl Rove is so upset he had Sean Hannity stuttering last night.

Bernice Said:

what is the republican tea party?

We Answered:

The tea party and republicans are two separate entities.

The tea party is a group of conservatives who are trying to rally support for candidates who think it's time to get back to the U.S. constitution, and represent more traditional values. Both democrats and republicans are aligned with the tea party.

Most folks misunderstand the fact that the tea party is not a political party, as such. They named themselves that because of the Boston tea party where the folks in Boston destroyed a shipment of tea in the harbor in protest of the higher taxes the King of England had imposed on the tea. The tea party is against the higher taxes the government has imposed on the USA.

Does that help?

Susan Said:

Has the TEA Party brought a change of ideas to the Republican Party?

We Answered:

They have reintroduced the old Republican platform of small government, low taxes, less government spending, and non-interventionism.

The TEA Party was originally made up of Ron Paul conservative-libertarians. When they gained traction and grew in numbers, the GOP hijacked the movement and adopted the proposed policies; due in large part to the popularity.

And people like DALLAS have clearly fallen victim to the propaganda. The MSM has made people like her believe the Rep Party is the Tea Party. When in all actuality the very core and base of the TEA Party are libertarians.

@Paul Jackson: We can still do handouts to our own people, but as far as the Jews, Arabs, Somalians, Japanese, and all the others we subsidize are concerned, screw em! That will save us enough to allow us to continue the clean-up of SSI, OWS, and welfare state.
