Who the hell wrote this headline? Show me one person who fell for the Tea Party movement who wasn’t already a die hard grouchy conservative. It is a movement entirely made up of greying blobs. At the very best you’ll get a couple kids dragged along by their parents or a couple young republican types in suits.
