As in nature, politics abhors a vacuum. Without a strong voice for more moderate leadership, the Tea Party is filling that vacuum.

The NAACP believes the Tea Party is racist. The Tea Party believes the NAACP is racist.

A Tea Party tidal wave is coming.

Politics is not a tea party. When it is time to act, you have to move fast and decisively.

The Tea Party

I had a little tea party
This afternoon at three.
'Twas very small-
Three guest in all-
Just I, myself and me.

Myself ate all the sandwiches,
While I drank up the tea;
'Twas also I who ate the pie
And passed the cake to me. Jessica Nelson North

The Tea Party has imparted political energy to common-sense American constitutionalism.
