The average Tea Partier is a conservative who consistently votes Republican but who may have issues with the party insiders. Nonetheless, if you think it's a new political movement, you're fooling yourself. It's a bunch of conservatives with conservative ideas, often funded by conservative interests, who are going to vote for conservatives. It is what the conservative movement has become.
