Neither Romney nor Newt should have their hands on the Tea Party movement. This is a grass roots thing, and it should stay a grass roots movement.

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the ‘Tea Party’ started as a backlash against the economic fraud that has taken over Wall street, Washington DC (both parties), and many of the State houses? Wasn't this movement started as an outcry against the bailouts, the stock market manipulation, the excessive debt both private and public that was and still is being encouraged by both Wall St and DC? Wasn't this movement asking for the rule of law to be applied not just to Main St but to DC and Wall St equally? I find it sad that no pol is talking about the economic looting of this country that has and is occurring. No talk of bringing economic perps to justice. The Tea Party was not started to address the social issues of the day but the economic ones cuz if the economic issues are not taken care of, the social issues won't really manner much to a hungry population....so yes, I find it sad that the Romneys and the Newts and even the Palins have apparently taken over the movement while not addressing the core issues of the movement.
