Wow. It took very, VERY few words for you to come to a full-fledged EPIC FAIL.
1) The Tea Party Movement is NOT about governance. It is about a set of principles and beliefs. It is about holding publicly elected officials feet to the fire in regards to spending, over-spending, and wasteful spending. Are there politicians who identify themselves as "tea party"? Sure. Did some already elected politicians jump on the bandwagon when they saw a polling trend? Absolutely. But make no mistake, the ideas behind the Tea Party movement were to forge accountability for EVERY politician in D.C., regardless of party, to move back to sensible use of "revenue".
2) As I'm getting tired of typing I'll tackle folk wisdom and superstition in one sentence.... It's a movement built on common sense and a fact based approach.
3) Qaddafi? Seriously? Is that you, Mr. Vice-President?
