But Tea Partiers insist that they are not beholden to the GOP and warn that Republican candidates counting on an endorsement from them in November may well be disappointed.

Interviews with Tea Partiers across the country paint a picture of a genuine, amorphous, conservative grassroots movement united by three core principles: constitutionally limited government, free market ideology and low taxes. The American Constitution is a rallying cry and many now dub themselves "constitutional conservatives."

They are angry not just at what they describe as the socialist policies of U.S. President Barack Obama. They also feel Republican politicians have betrayed the party's ideals. For many in the movement, purging the party of moderate Republicans is a major goal.

Exactly. The GOP has just learned through those two cycles that the Tea Parties are impotent. :mad::mad::mad::mad::(:(:(

Its great! People are realising that the 2 parties are one and only.

Time to tell this awakened people that there is a "Third Way".

Perry showed the hand of the establishment Republicans - Medina was the tea party's choice - she even made the CBS Evening News as "the tea party candidate"
YouTube - Texas Governor race 2010 - Debra Medina - "the tea party candidate" - CBS News 3/2/2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ldPUvYdgmw)
I don't actually know whether or not Brown got tea party support

I would like to see an interactive map of both the House and Senate with all current incumbent seats overturned and what the results would look like after the November election should we pull this off. The interactive maps should look just like the House and the Senate chambers. Can someone here help me out with this?
