The Tea Party has already stitched together a colorful history made of success and failure, anger and optimism and lots of controversy.
And as the movement marks its second anniversary, it's worth asking: Where is it headed?
"It started spontaneously and organically as a protest/rally movement. And it fully matured, because of the timing, into a movement that involved electoral politics," Tea Party Patriots co-founder Mark Meckler told CNN.
"And so, here we are, on our second anniversary, we've proven that this is a movement that's here to stay. It's time to get serious about -- and pushing forward -- a long-term policy."

In the history of America, there have been many political parties. The Tea Party reminds me of the Whigs because they are coming close to running a Presidential candidate that can draw votes and they are a splinter of a mainstream party.
There is no chance that the current Tea Party will become the Green Tea Party, though that might become more healthy to some.

Tea Party adds a counter-balance to the Socialist Union Workers Party that dominates the Democratic Party and current White House.
