Wonder why the TEA Party opposes you so much? It's because they see your policies as being CONTRARY to the ideals of a Free Republic and more like the ideals of an increasingly Socialist (and failing) Europe.
"Senator Cruz and his adherents do not view things in conventional terms. They look back over the past half-century, including the supposedly golden era of Ronald Reagan, and see the uninterrupted forward march of the American left. Entitlement spending never stopped growing. The regulatory state continued to expand. The national debt grew and grew and finally in the Obama years, exploded. They see an American population becoming unrecognizable from the free and self-reliant people they thought they knew. And they see the Republican Party as having utterly failed to stop the drift toward an unfree nation supervised by an overweening and bloated bureaucracy. They are not interested in Republican policies that merely slow the growth of this leviathan. They want to stop it and reverse it. And they want to show their supporters they'll try anything to bring that about."

Simply put, you tried to marginalize ANYONE that you couldn't bribe with government hand-outs. The 'Establishment Republicans' (or RINO's, depending on your point of view) have apparently lost sight of what government is actually supposed to do and aren't doing anything to protect people from an ever-expanding government that is as incompetent as it is intrusive. The Founders and Framers knew that Government would never be able to do much of anything right. That is why they wanted it to be as limited as possible.
Have your media lapdogs say whatever you want about them. It won't matter. The 'TEA Party' is here to stay. They have always been here in one form or another and always will be too. They are the equal and opposite reaction to all the radical leftists that have taken over/poisoned the Democratic Party and essentially turned them into the North American version of European Socialism. Americans do NOT want to be like Europeans. If you should have learned anything from your American History classes in school as a child, then that message should have come through loud and clear. Remember, we fought a long war for Independence from what was the global Super Power of the time because of their oppression and government intrusion into people's lives. If you think that people won't rise up against the government again, you are DEAD wrong. That 'spirit of Rebellion' that Thomas Jefferson mentioned so often is always going to be there too. It's too deeply ingrained into the American Mind and Soul to ever be removed. Any politician that ignores the people does so at their peril. (And considering how unhappy people are with the Government these days, getting voted out of office may be the least of those politician's concerns.)
Instead of trying to cut these TEA Party folks out of the loop (Remember how unequal representation in the British Parliament was one of the reasons that the colonies broke away and formed the United States in the first place?), maybe you should try talking to them and hearing their concerns. Considering what kind of a world-class CLUSTERFUCK that Obamacare is shaping up to be (no surprises there), the chances are good that many of their concerns are quite valid. Remember, you are all supposed to be working together to protect and promote the success of our glorious Republic, NOT to bicker and force others to have your way.
