The out of nowhere Tea Party had their their first National Convention this week. Apparently, the far right can't agree on anything but their stance on the political spectrum. Naturally, CNN spent the better part of 48 hours covering it, but what do YOU think about this pseudo-grassroots organization?

It's largely hidden in racism. Now, you'll be corrected if you say this, but I've seen way too many white supremacists to say otherwise at this point. I'm a white, independent centrist, not a communist liberal or dem, whatever you want to call it.

Political parties are stupid...Anyone who decides where they stand on an issue before they even hear it is a damn fool.

Every now and then there's some organization that pops up to supposedly save us all from tyranny and they all disappear almost as quickly as they came.

Always nice to have a new political party around to fracture stuff up and break up boring two-party systems, and it'll probably make the republicans saner - both good things.

On the other hand, the US certainly doesn't need more right-wing politics.
