<keep making fun of the "silent majority". I'm not. The Tea Party is neither silent nor a majority. I find it curious that you say I'm making fun of them when I'm simply giving facts. They vary but they are mostly a vocal group of people whose numbers have swelled by the efforts of those like Dick Armey and the Club for Growth who see it as a way to have energized mostly conservative Republicans helping to turn the Congress Republican and to move the Republicans a bit more to the right while marginalizing what used to be Republican moderates to the 2 Maine Bobbsey twins in the Senate. It's clear who the majority is. It's moderates of both parties, the apolitical and independents who tend to sway back and forth. It's not the tea party and it's not a bunch of whiny liberals on the left who get health care and have nothing better to do but still whine about the public option. Just like with Ross Perot the emphasis on fiscal responsibility will have some shelf life and like Perot the tea party won't endure as a significant force. What are they for other than maybe fiscal responsibility? The main thing that unites them is anger expressed mainly toward Obama. You really do have a mishmash of people with all different beliefs and agendas who are united by a bad economy and dislike of Obama. What happens to the movement when the economy improves and Obama's no longer President? Many will go back to being mainly either fiscal or religious conservative Republicans. After this election those Republicans happy to use the Tea Party to win Congress in terms of the tea party will be like the old song Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
