Opponents have of course mislabeled the tea parties as some sort of extension of the Republican Party. In fact, the folks that show up are likely more fed up with Republicans than Democrats. We expect the Democrats to tax and to spend, but expected better of Republicans. The Tea Party movement is entirely grass roots. It's entirely citizens and individuals. It's based on a philosophy not a political party.

A very interesting commentary. I suspect that the Libertarian party is quite likely to enjoy a surge in membership from the whole Tea Party movement. They need a national face and leadership to ever become more than a fringe. Ron Paul is not going to quite hack it.
