I'm tiring of the triumphalist chest beating from conservatives and libertarians who think that they are the tea party. The tea parties are a coalition of different groups who probably didn't know each other before the Congress went on its spending binge. I don't know what their relative numbers are. It'll take a lot of polling and analysis after the vote to figure that out. If and when the spending is under control, will they still agree on issues like gay marriage, abortion, etc.? I doubt it.
