Joel Gehrke has already done a great job of puncturing that myth, and shaming the people who believe it. Everyone forgets that the Tea Party was divided between former Treasurer Sarah Steelman (Sarah Palin, Mike Lee, Tea Party Express) and businessman John Brunner (FreedomWorks and the Chamber of Commerce).[ emphasis added] --- Slate
Not only is it a lie to say that Akin was Tea Party, the Tea Party itself was divided. A lesson in there somewhere.
Thanks to the win by McConnell in Kentucky, the Tea Party is said to be on the ropes. Predictable propaganda.
The Tea Party might benefit from a clear economic program that would challenge the money power. This is how they could win without the money. Money is what rules politics. If you can get the money out, and still win, you can topple the power.
Getting the money out of politics sounds left wing. But the difference here is that the left wing doesn't want the money out of politics. They only want the opposition's money out of politics.
