The big tea party quandary

If the tea party is such a big movement that includes people from all political ideologies, then why wouldn't they petition to get on the ballot as a third party and run someone for president in 2012? Maybe because the tea party, which is essentially the crazy, angry, racist wing of the republican party, knows that running someone in 2012 would surely get Obama re-elected. What a bunch of disingenuous frauds these teabaggers are.

1. Someone posted a poll that says the tea partiers wanted their own party.

I think they would never run a third party candidate for president because that is a sure way to loose. They can still run as a right wing "party" in the nomination process.
