The Tea Party, such that it exists at all, is a slogan for a bunch of nebulous concepts. It has no national organization, not state organizations AFAIK. It has some local non-profit entities, but the are diverse from one locality to the next. It's national founders and organizers are long gone. It holds no elective offices or nominating conventions, appears on the ballot no where.

It's become little more than a label younger conservatives and Republicans can use simply because of decades of demonization by the media of the term, "Republican", that's all. Not unlike how the American left for decades interchanges, "liberal", "progressive", "socialist", determined by the popular mood in whatever era they live. But underneath, it's all the same journalists and organizers promoting the label.

To characterize the Tea Party, I'd say they are traditional Republicans under 35. The only vague principal that's held up among dome, dating back to Gingrich Revolution and Contract With America, is term limits, which the Gingrich Republicans themselves voted down in a sense term limits can be considered anti-establishment, but even this view isn't widespread or a high priority among Tea Partiers. The Tea Party has been little more than a "youth rebellion" among conservatives, if such an oxymoron is possible. Not muvh else.
