Exactly!  What was even worst, is that the early Tea-Party members who were promoting their agenda in a "Grassroots" campaign, had no idea that the Koch Brothers were financing any of it.  WHatever idea the "Tea-Party" had at the beginning of their movement, it was highjacked and manipulated by Major Wealthy Conservatives and integrated by the Republicans with the belief that they would increase American Support for the Republican Agenda.  at this point, some of the most loyal Republican supporters are moving to seek and back Liberal Republicans/Conservative Democrats to replace them in the 2014 elections.  They have degenerated into the Party-of-Hate-and-Madness!
