The Tea Party movement started with altruistic ideals, but along the way got hijacked by evangelicals and corporatists(yes, the Koch brothers) That is why people associate some of the wingnuts in politics with the Tea Party, whether that's fair or unfair.
I think that's what Democrats want you to think about the Tea Party and they're doing a good job of transmitting the message. Survey after survey just doesn't line up with that perception.

If we had only listened to G.W. all this he said she said bullshift wouldn't matter so much.

That's what I think based on my observations, and I'm basing my observations on the actual politicians that identify themselves as Tea Party members. Of course the polls of voters don't align with that. I think there's still a bit of the altruistic ideal with the voters. It's the opportunistic politicians(usually of the religious variety) that have capitalized on the movement and conflated the message. Of course, that's not absolute, but in general from my observations.
