The media keeps claiming the Tea Party has control of Congress

And that is why, they claim, nothing is getting done. Pure propaganda is what it is. There are only a handful of them in Congress. They don't have control of anything. The establishment is who has control.

The Tea Party is a meaningless term. It accomplishes what you stated above, as well as portraying the idea that the Tea Partiers are getting what they wanted and not being marginalized when, in fact, they still are and always have been.
