I will keep saying it. The Tea Party is ruining itself. They need to back away from all the politicians, in or still out of the race.
Now we have Orin Hatch, John McCain, all using the Tea party.
Who next? Olympia Snowe? Susan Collins? Linseed?
Geesh, no wonder Tea Party is losing steam. That according to latest Rasmussen polling. The independent, grass roots spontaneity is almost gone. Now we have events showcasing politicians.

I see other polls and stats saying the TP is still growing. As to the last part, well, 2012 is a CRITICAL election so of course there are (and will be more) events featuring politicians/candidates. We have to win via elections, inside the system - don’t think the time has come to overthrow it yet :-)
