Maria, unwittingly Lina actually made my point for me...While the Tea Party has great ideas and a great message, but all that media portrays and the general (especially left-biased) public are the handful of allegations and fringe crazies, that any and every movement has. Their number one priority IMO should be their public image and making their message known.
