Most of the Tea Party activity in this state has been scandalous and something with which I wouldn't want my name associated. This band of nut jobs is clearly less ethical and has less regard for the law than the current office holders, hence their lack of success.

They seem to think that because they are correct on the issues, that any tactics in support of their candidacies are also correct, despite what decorum or the law might say. That makes them no better than the liberals who they seek to unseat.

Its kinda sad because on a lot of issues they are correct. Balanced budget, taxes, immigration, social policies are all areas in which I think the positions taken are generally correct. They won't get elected in most cases for other reasons, and are relegated to making sure people who will vote with them 80% of the time lose to people who will vote against them 80% of the time. That makes no sense to me but it must to them.
