Armey built a new base in Washington as a lobbysist and head of [[Freedom Worls]]. In 2009 he emerged as the prime mover behind the [[tea parties]]. He is a longtime critic of the religious right. He once said that [[James Dobson]] of Focus on the Family and his allies were a "gang of thugs" and "real nasty bullies."
