if the tea party's objective was to reduce the size of government or reduce our national debt, then it's been dead since it started.
It's always been about Obama you see. They didn't like the fact that a man like him won. So they went off. They threw everything up against the wall until something stuck. They finally settled with the rhetoric about national debt, because all their previous rants were just too openly racist.
The TP was, and is, just another not-so-cleverly-disguised arm of the Republican party. Just like how they supported Bush 'n' Cheney to the hilt, until they didn't. Then they claimed they never liked him, and then they claimed that Bush wasn't really a conservative. I just saw a number of clips of the GOP during their primaries with Bush, both times and that man had support from the Right up the wazzoo. There were GOP reps at RW churches speaking during the service telling the church-goers to vote, because it's too important not to vote.
PPL have VERY short memories...unfortunately. Not to mention selective, very selective.
