Those Tea Party people are crazy. I mean, they're lunatics. They close down the government, throw people out of their jobs - hundreds of thousands of people - and they say that they're doing it ultimately in the interest of creating jobs.

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

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

A Tea Party tidal wave is coming.

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
