Contrary to popular libtard belief the Tea Party was started by Ron Paul supporters. Not RINO's like Palin who have infiltrated the party and been the focus from the mainstream media who is falling over backwards to censor and push Paul aside.
It's not going to work. Get f.ucked.

You're cute when you're all fired up.
The Koch Brothers' Americans for Prosperity is a primary source of funding for a lot of these Tea Party rallies. I googled "Ron Paul started Tea Party" and there are indeed a lot of Ron Paul fans making the claim, so I won't dispute it. But, they claim it started in 2007, and I can't recall hearing anything about them in the mainstream media until early 2009 with that CNBC thing. So I would venture to say the Tea Party movement, if it was started by Ron Paul people, has since been purchased by the Koch brothers and the only reason it rose to national attention is that they financed it. And of course they aren't going to support Ron Paul; he opposes Defense spending.
Palin is better television than Paul. She's prettier, and she gives more entertaining sound bites. Of course the media is going to focus on her. It's the reason they're looking for anyone but Romney as the GOP hope- he's probably the most palatable to a general population, but he's boring TV.
EDIT: I should clarify- By "they" I mean the media.
