It didn't take long for Republicans to embrace the Tea Party idea as a way out of theirdisgrace and current doldrums.
Kurt Nimmo, of Prison Planet.com, describesthe hijackingin detail ~ " The Tea Party movement is now almost completely unrecognizable from what it was a few short years ago. It came to prominence in 2008 when the Libertarian Party of Illinois planned to hold an April 15, 2009 anti-tax "Boston Tea Party" in Chicago. In February 2009, the idea grew after CNBC personality Rick Santelli, speaking from the floor of the Chicago stock exchange, criticized the Obama administration's tax and economic policies and urged Americans become Tea Party activists.... It didn't take long for establishment Republicans to steal the idea and claim it as their own...
RNC Chairman Michael Steele, Sarah Palin, and Rep. Michele Bachmann from Minnesota have suggested the Tea Party should be rolled into the Republican Borg hive."

So there you have it, The sleeping Giant of the American publicstirs from its eight year hibernation, realizesits been robbed, conveniently forgets who the culprit was and channels its righteous angerwith instead of againstthe party who was the thief.
The sleeping Giant sleepeth yet ~
