Don’t know about you, but the first tea party event early this year in Ft. Worth had absolutely nothing to do with Ron Paul

There were Tea Parties held in 2007 during Paul's campaign.
Spontaneous rallies for Paul which picked up steam after the Iowa Straw Poll.
You're behind the times

As much sense as Ron Paul makes on some issues, he has the most goofball idea about the War on Terror

It's not his foreign policy that people have been inspired by him on.
It's his straight-forward, black-and-white stand on limited government and civil liberties.
When was the last time you heard a Republican call for abolishing whole departments and agencies, as well as the income tax?

I would love to see a source for that assertion. Rick Santelli made his rant on Feb. 19th '09 which started the Tea Party Movement. Whatever Ron Paul's supporters did had no part in it.
