Memphis Tea Party founder Mark Skoda said recent media coverage had questioned whether the conservative tea parties, which number in the thousands nationwide, were too loosely organized to be politically effective in the national midterm election. He said the federation intends to convey a unified message about the tea party's brand of fiscal conservatism, which emphasizes limited government, less public spending and free markets.

Tea Baggers: The gift that keeps on giving......to the Democrats.
Simplistic (non-realistic) solutions to very complex problems.
The cry is "do you want to pay less taxes and keep all the benefits you currently have living in America, come join the tea party".
The same as "do you want a $30,000 car for $10,000, 0 down, no interest, come to our car lot". You get there and there is no $30,000 car for $10,000.
The same is true of the tea party. They are luring people in with promises that cannot be fulfilled.
Just like the wall street slime buckets that promised 20% returns forever. The people who sucked in are broke now.
You need to live in the world the way it is not the way you wish it was.
