   Let's face the fact that few people have been willing to say--and   
   certainly not the Republicans who have benefited from the Tea Party   
   movement.  The main motivator for them, the main reason for all their   
   anger is not really health care reform, taxes, gun rights, government   
   regulation, or budget deficits.  All those things are part of the   
   equation, but they have always been issues for the right-wing and the   
   libertarian conservatives that now make up the Tea Party.  Sure they   
   used these issues as excuses for their movement, but the main motivator   
   is simple:  The Tea Party members (almost all of them white) hate the   
   fact that the USA elected a black president.
