Way back in February, conservative activist John O’Hara helped put together one of the very first Tea Party rallies — a Washington, D.C., party across the street from the White House. Next month, O’Hara’s publishing the first Tea Party book with a major publisher (Wiley) on the movement: “A New American Tea Party: The Counterrevolution Against Bailouts, Handouts, Reckless Spending, and More Taxes.”
The book reports on the stirrings of the movement from O’Hara’s perspective, as he organized the event with J.P. Freire, then the managing editor of the American Spectator and now an editor at the Washington Examiner.
A little bit later in the book, O’Hara explains how conservative think tanks rode the wave.
The rest of the book — I’ve only read part of it — makes the larger case against the Democratic agenda in a manner that will be familiar to Fox News watchers. For example:

They're just not going to let go of that “CRA caused the mortgage/housing crisis.” Article of faith, obviously.

It's worse than that. The Republican Party is aligning themselves with the Xenophobia Crazy Train. They think the nutbags will improve their chances in 2010.
All I can say is….Have fun.

UP YOUR KNOW-HOW
Leonard Read, the Founder of FEE, used to say “Improve you before trying to improve others.” It is embarrassing to argue with someone who appears to know more and grinds you into the dust. Yet, in politics, it is easy to find the roots of all arguments and see how issues follow those roots. That’s what I’ve tried to provide on claysamerica.com. If you know the roots, where the yellow brick road begins, you know better how to reach the conclusions you seek. You can take a reasoned position without passion and injury. Try it and see.

I have never seen anything more IDIOTIC , than text above.
It is just palin with her Stupid word salad may compete with this crap.
Tea “party” collects all stupid idiots with NO achievements and anger to the entire World for their own failure.
It bothers me – their rude abuse of Government Power.
It is un-American, and certainly un-constitutional.
