The parts of the Tea Party(Tea party Express and several others) controlled by Rupert Murdock do not want to see a true fiscal conservative elected to any office. The Real Tea Party movement do want to see a fiscal conservative like Ron Paul in as high of an office as they can get him elected to. The real reason that the Tea Partiers are trying to unseat Ron Paul is that he has bucked the Republican establishment one too many times. This just goes to show you that at least half of the Tea Party Movement has been co-opted by Republicans or those trying to take over the Republicans.

The original Tea Baggers were true Independents or Libertarians; the GOP has hijacked the grass movement of the Independents Tea Party; and now claim hold to run three GOP candidates against Ron Paul.

I don't know but its sad how people think their lives are so bad that they have to go and compare their nations situation to a real cause like the boston tea party.

Because Ron Paul is smart and has common sense. No really, that is the answer.
The Tea Baggers like to embrace people like Sarah Palin, which is why I don't think their movement is going to last much longer.

Ron Paul collects a GOVERNMENT SALARY of around 250k. Never, EVER, trust a politician. Vote them ALL out!!

Ron Paul is an idiot and if people really understood what he stood for, they would be horrified.
Libertarians want to eliminate ALL govt oversight, that means no more:
FDA, FDIC, OSHA, FAA, FCC, etc... Do you have any idea what life would be like in the US if this happened?
