The three-week long cross-country tour by the Tea Party, the fake “grassroots” organization that fronts for organized right-wing causes, ends on Tax Day today in Washington — the town the movement loves to hate.
Missing from the staged events will be Tea Party darling Sarah Palin. The former Alaska governor and failed Republican Vice Presidential candidate has headlined many events in the tour but will not among the featured speakers at the 11 a.m. rally in Washington, DC.
The protesters opened their tour in Nevada three weeks ago.
Radio host Neal Boortz is among the listed speakers for the finale in Washington.

Tea Party split between Ron Paul and Sarah Palin

Oh Bullshit, woody. I just attended a tea party here and the same things that were expressed at my first one were expressed today: smaller govt, lower taxes, represent the interests of the people.
Take your conspiracy theories and shove them you know where.
Just means your first Tea Party was after the take over.
Where should conspiracies be shoved Andy? Do tell…
Tea Parties were started by real grassroots, mostly Campaign for Liberty members and Ron Paul supporters. They were co-opted by a desperate Republican Party in an attempt to gain some ground back from Democrats. The Republicans threw money around and changed the message causing the nascent movement to flounder. Then chowder heads like Palin latched on and marginalized the movement to the fringe where it is now ridiculed and scorned. The conspiracy theory here is it was done on purpose because the Tea Parties (protest rallies) represented a real threat to the 2-party system and had to be shutdown by the powers that be. Why else would Palin still be around?
The original Tea Party goals were smaller government, fewer taxes, and ending the wars. The Campaign for Liberty still reaches for these goals.
Talkin’ about the Fair Tax, for sure.
