Paul was exactly right in his statement; Americans are fed up with the direction this country has been going, not only under Obama, but also under Bush, and we want to take our country back. Personally, I think the the Tea Party should consider becoming that third party that America desperately needs. This movement represents the conservative principles the Republican Party has ignored for far too long. Since 40% of Americans identify themselves as conservatives, and because the Tea Party is more popular than the Democrat and Republican Party according to a NBC/WSJ poll, I truly believe the Tea Party could emerge as a legitimate third party in America's politics.
Let's take a second and look at the Florida Senate Race between Republican Marco Rubio, Independent Charlie Crist, and Democrat Kendrick Meek. The race is neck and neck according to the RCP average, with Crist holding a miniscule 0.3 lead; although some argue his favorable poll numbers after switching to an Independent are due to a poll bounce that will begin to die off in future polls. Anyways, the Tea Party candidate, Rubio, has a great opportunity to knock off the now former establishment Republican candidate Charlie Crist. It's races like these that show the Democrats and establishment Republicans alike are in for an ugly Election this November because the Tea Party movement is growing and will be a major factor on 11/2/2010.

Whether you agree or disagree with them on the issues, there is no denying the Tea Party movement is going to have a major impact on the Midterm Election this November. We have already seen a number of Tea Party candidates win across the country, taking out the establishment Republican candidates that in years past were victorious in such races. I think Rand Paul said it best last Tuesday after he won the Republican Party nomination, "I have a message from the tea party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words. We've come to take our government back."Paul was exactly right in his statement; Americans are fed up with the direction this country has been going, not only under Obama, but also under Bush, and we want to take our country back.

Ever hear when Obama is addressing congress and he says. To my Republican friends and my Progressive friends. Dont hear any mention of Democrats for some reason. LOL

I have to agree that the Tea Party is being hijacked by the GOP and other various people for personal gain. I do think that Rand Paul is sincere, but I would perfer Paul Ryan ideas over Rand Paul.
