The so called Tea Party movement is not bad, just confused, short sighted, and misguided. I applaud their efforts to attempt shake up the 2 party system. The mere fact that someone can try start a new political movement, without fear of arrest or maiming or killing, says a lot about our country.

We need a smart party movement.

Tea Party. They want smaller government. Or, do they just want the parts of government that they don't like to be smaller? They wouldn't admit it, but its true. They also favor strict and limited interpretation of the US Constitution. They better hide their guns, unless they are in a militia (Oh, they probably are).
