>> No, The Tea Party is the loose aggregation.

I think you should have stopped using the first party plural there. Some of them are loony; and they are in part the creation of some older, tireder, Republic faction.

But I guess they do all share vaguely Republican values, and the belief that both major parties (not just the Democrats) have been taxing too much.

My issue is that they are attacking taxing, not spending. It's spending that's the problem, as total revenue (tax) will eventually have to match total spending. And the Republicans can be cynical bastards who spend like crazy, then force the Democrats to raise taxes (later down the track) for fear of the debt becoming unsustainable.

But I guess "Spent Enough Already" doesn't have the same ring, or historical kitsch.
