Crickey, now Australia even has a TEA party

Check out the Aus T.E.A. party
USA T.E.A. parties are going gang-busters: they are everywhere and nowhere. Awesome! There is no single leader. The American public is fully awake and engaged.
So what is the T.E.A. party IMPACT so far? This week's example #1: replacing 4-term RINO Republican candidate Castle with new comer Christine O'Donnell in this week's Republican Delaware senate primary. "The architect" (huh?) Karl Rove has bashed O'Donnell. (Sorry Karl, you're Washington insider elitist side is showing...) Americans don't believe the press & they are tired of elitist trying to pick the other elitists for canditates. We.The.People will be thinking and deciding for themselves thank you very much - state by state. Yeaaaaah.... More examples:
Example #2: a Republican (albeit a moderate/liberal-ish one) named Scott Brown swept in and "stole" the "people's seat" previously held by Teddy Kennedy. (WOW and "they" said that couldn't happen, but Massachusetts citizens felt differently...)
Example #3: Alaska Republican inside-establishment Murkowski? Beat by new-comer Joe Miller... HA! Sarah Palin supported Miller and people listened...
Yes, sports fans: old, establish, elitiest, go-along get-along, wishy-washy and way-too-liberal Republican-in-name-only candidates will no longer cut it in America.
Besides America inspired Israeli, Dutch, Italian and Moscow T.E.A. parties: now even an Australian T.E.A. (Taxed Enough Already) party has been formed! Why? The Australian reports:
"The Australian T.E.A. Party will be targeting pre-selections across the country and heavily promotes its links to "our friends" in the United States.Reluctant spokesman David Goodridge - "just call me the website editor" - says the grassroots movement has no plans to register as a political party, won’t stand candidates and won’t accept politicians as members."
“Basically it’s based around... three general propositions," Mr Goodridge said.

"What should be the role of the government in the economy, what should be the role of government in people’s lives and do you believe that you can spend your money better than government?" The T.E.A. Party in Australia announces on its website that it is a "worldwide movement united for free markets, fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited small governments and individual freedom".
Good on ya, mates...!
