Now will ANYONE on the right tell us the differeing views of the tea party and the republican party?
The Republican Party is an official political party which sponsors candidates.
The Tea Party consists of hundreds of local groups which are loosely affiliated without a national leadership group such as the RNC. It's a grass roots movement focused on limited government and fiscal conservatism, with the objective of holding all of government accountable. Some support GOP candidates or causes, but they are also very critical of the big government policies the GOP has promoted.
