It is not an overstatement to say that Obamacare was the single most important catalyst leading to the tea party movement.

One of the beauties of the Tea Party movement - and the many, many like-minded citizens that don't participate in the Tea Party movement - is the fact that it is independent.

The Republican Party would be really smart to absorb as much of the Tea Party movement as possible.

I think what the Tea Party movement is - I'm all for it; they're out there fighting for our rights, fighting for what our forefathers stood for.

My political views have since I was a kid someway or another reflected the concerns of Tea Party movement.
