Libertarian Radical
Not bad at the sophistry but, forms of populism have their own principles and all populist movements do. Having principles does not negate any populist label.
There is of course an organized Tea Party with factions and their are the delusional types that show up at rallies called by Sarah Palin where 5 - 40 people show up talking to themselves.
You are like the communists who say because professed communists strayed from the pure ideal of communism there has never been a communist state in the history of the world
Defaming the TEA party has been a long standing objective of the left. Little of what you say is accurate, but the goal is to create a disagreeable impression, no to debate fact.
No, there is no organizational structure. Tom Delay has his group, mostly a Republican stooge group, TEA Party Patriots runs a separate group. Tea Party express is yet another group.
These groups are legitimate, in addition there are some illegitimate Klingons who use the name but in no way support TEA Party ideals. Naturally these fringe elements are what the left use to demonize the TP - in many cases the fringe groups are actually leftists who have only the aim of defaming the movement.
