The Tea Party Explained

From Crisis to Crusade

By: Yuri Maltsev,Roman Skaskiw

The Tea Party first attracted the media spotlight with Rick Santelli’s televised rant against the government’s bailout of mortgage borrowers on February 19, 2009, which instantly went viral as a video. As the authors document, however, “tea parties” associated with the Ron Paul movement had already been gathering momentum for more than a year. Beginning as a protest against government spending sprees, the Tea Party’s sudden fame forced it to define itself on many issues where the membership was seriously divided. Fiscal conservatives, who were usually liberal on social issues, battled social conservatives in an uneasy series of maneuvers that continues unresolved and is described in the book. The Tea Party Explained, written by two Tea Party activists, gives a well-documented account of the Tea Party, its origins, its evolution, the bitter squabbles over its direction, its amazing successes in 2010, and its electoral rebuff in 2012. Maltsev and Skaskiw analyze its demographics, the many organizations which have tried to represent, appropriate, or infiltrate the movement, and the ideological divisions within.

The Tea Party and the American Counter-Revolution

By: Yuri Maltsev,Roman Skaskiw

Since the modern tea party movement's first modern incarnation, a fund raiser organized by Ron Paul supporters on December 16, 2007 accompanied by modest protests in various cities, we have paid close attention. We watched it swell into a political force following the now-famous rant of CNBC commentator Rick Santelli on February 19, 2009. We have attended tea parties, spoken at their events, and gotten to know organizers and activists. CNN found that by 2010, 2 percent of Americans considered themselves active members of the tea party movement, and Rasmussen calculated that 29 percent of Americans had some ties to the movement. The Tea Party rose to popularity with a message of fiscal conservatism and constitutionally limited government. As soon as it became popular, it struggled over how and if to meld with social conservatism, what position to take on foreign policy, and what relationship to have to the Republican Party. Many sought to join the movement, others to co-opt it. The tea party movement has irrevocably changed the face of American politics, re-awakened old American traditions and ignited the imagination of millions of activists. Many individuals and groups with divergent messages have laid claim to the title "tea party." Regardless of whether or not the moniker survives, the core fiscally conservative and small government ideas behind the tea party movement, which have been ignored for so long by both parties, have returned with a vengeance to American politics.
