There are good people in the Tea Party movement, and it is important to try to reach out to them, but by and large—like conservatism itself—it is a militaristic bunch, upholding highly paid bureaucrats as the "best and the brightest," whether they are tasering or bombing, and slavering over torture and death. Of course,  TP fanatically backs the wars against Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Iran. Only a terrorist would dissent. Sarah Palin's speech in Nashville was typical: War, cut spending, war, skin 'em alive, war, cut taxes, war, war, war. So it's no surprise that Ron Paul's warmongering primary opponents in Texas, according to the Dallas Morning News, are riding the TP wave like water bugs, or hoping to. Thank goodness, as Jesse Benton points out, Ron has $1,926,607 on hand. His four TP opponents have only a net $13,281 among them, a hilarious fact the Dallas newspaper somehow failed to mention.
