The tea party, regardless of how one tries to portray them, are still a bunch of disgruntled right-wing zealots that are looking out for their own interests and not for the good of the American people. They have reintroduced racism and brought about a division of the races that was prevalent in the 60's. They have very few people of color in their mostly white organization. And the few tokens that they have are being used to mask over the real political agenda of this racist group of people. Their main focus is to place puppets in government positions that will obey their every command and to cause as much disruption as possible if their demands are not met. Weak kneed republicans in fear of losing their comfortable job, give in to the strong-armed tactics used by them. But just as their political power began to wane after the 2012 slaughter of their presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, it will again implode on itself during the 2014 elections.
