Three Month Study On Tea Party = Useless Hot Air, But Loud

But a new Washington Post canvass of hundreds of local tea party groups reveals a different sort of organization, one that is not so much a movement as a disparate band of vaguely connected gatherings that do surprisingly little to engage in the political process.

The results come from a months-long effort by The Post to contact every tea party group in the nation, an unprecedented attempt to understand the network of individuals and organizations at the heart of the nascent movement.

Seventy percent of the grass-roots groups said they have not participated in any political campaigning this year. As a whole, they have no official candidate slates, have not rallied behind any particular national leader, have little money on hand, and remain ambivalent about their goals and the political process in general.

They are not into endorsing candidates or engaging in the political process, they are about "pushing a conservative idea".

That sentence sums it up. No answers or new policies, just a thirst for power. Throw in the coded "un-American" language are you're done.
