The biggest problem that I see is that despite the fact that most of the people at the tea parties are very likely to be seriously and honestly concerned about the way they see their country going, the nut-jobs and loons smear their honest efforts with their idiot ranting and slanderous signs that portray our president as a nazi-style fascist or as a primitive cannibal.
As usual, the nut-jobs are the only ones that get the airtime, thus negating the honest efforts of the many.
I cannot believe that everybody who attends a tea party is a Ron Paulian nitwit or a Glenn Beck stooge.
