Talk:Tea Party Movement (view source)
Revision as of 23:33, August 13, 2014
, 23:33, August 13, 2014→Ron Paul's Influence
I believe Ron Paul had a large early influence on the tea party movement in late 2007 and 2008. His supporters protested the Republican Party establishment which caused many to become unhappy with the movement. This early movement morphed into the actual tea party movement nationally in 2009 and on.--[[User:Ikihi|Ikihi]] 19:32, 13 August 2014 (EDT)

From wikipedia:
"The origins of the current Tea Party movement can be traced back to circa 2007. The movement's beginnings were kick-started by Republican Congressman Dr. Ron Paul in 2007. His GOP presidential campaign received a 24 hour, record breaking, money bomb on December 16, 2007;[21] which is the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. This event directly contributed to creating a libertarian revival and divide in the Republican Party.[22][23][24] Ron Paul continues to be a prominent force in the Tea Party movement, such as endorsing Tea party candidates,[25] and also giving talks and speeches alongside prominent Tea party activist, and 2008 Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.[26][27] Sarah Palin has at times disagreed with Paul on foreign policy,[28] but eventually Sarah Palin changed her views on foreign policy and interventionism because of Ron Paul's inspiration and stance on limited government.[29] In 2012 she defended him against critics by saying, "[Paul's] The Only One Doing Something About Reining In Gov’t Growth"[30] Ron Paul had a direct affect on changing other prominent Republican's beliefs on the Federal Reserve. Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and many others changed their views about the Federal Reserve after hearing Paul's opinions on the matter.[31]"
I wrote this paragraph, even though there is no proof. But I think the magnitude of Paul's influence needs to be considered.
