comment on a Colleague's work #2

This is in response to "Texas Polities...Deep in the Heart of Texas" about what's with the Tea Party. The blogger did not know much about the Tea Party. It sound like the blogger see the Tea Party as a noisy groups conservative but angry with both Republican and Democrats. As answer to the blogger I would like to write briefly about the Tea Party. The name "Tea Party"is reference to the protest taxation without representation. The letters TEA have been used by some protesters to form the backronym "Tax enough already". Reaction to the Tea Parties include counter_protests expressing support government the Obama administration. The Tea Party was fundraising success nearby $2.7 millions with formally filed with the Federal Election Commission in October to change its name to "our country deserve better PAC"a power players in the Tea Party and beyond airing hundreds of thousand of dollars in media supporting Republican campaigns such as Scott Brown's successful special election for senate in Massachusetts and blasting Democratic one such as senate majority leader Reid's re-election bid in Nevada. Tea Party can get million fans before any other political party.
Todd Staples the 11th Texas Commissioner of Agriculture serving as a Keynote speaker at the El Paso Tea Party was an honor for him. It made him proud to stand together with many of his fellow Texans who are committed to smaller government and constitutional principles. Todd Staples said:"The Tea Party does share with Republicans is a desire to bring real accountability to all levels of government. The Tea Party recognized that it is out of control government spending and out of control government power".
