Thank you. Everyone knows the Tea Party was immediately co-opted by two different GOP funding ops (Koch Brothers, Americans for Prosperity, etc.). Difference between "Tea Party Express" (Koch) vs. "Tea Party Patriots" (Amer. for Prosp), etc.
Agree that there were Paul people grass roots before that movement was co-opted and taken national by the GOP lobbyists. But everything in the past two years has been strict astroturf. The old folks that joined it with tricorn hats and dangling tea bags were used, pure and simple.
