Answer #7

Basically, the Tea Party Movement refers to the Tea Party and their growing influence in the political landscape. They took their name from the Boston Tea Party opposition of taxes from the 1700s. They identify themselves as “libertarian” and “conservative”, generally. Technically they’re not a political party, but they back GOP candidates, though they claim to not be the same thing. They are endorsed by well-known conservatives like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck. They stand for fiscal responsibility, lower taxes and a smaller government.
