We only have two major parties but we have some smaller ones, and lately the Libertarians have gotten more momentum and will probably emerge as the Third Party pretty soon. (Yippee.) The Tea Party...I think they wanted to be a separate party, but it just started as a group of protests? Against Obama? For apparently NO REASON? (Their reason was that he was black a Socialist and he was going to raise everybody's taxes.) I wouldn't define them as Republicans (wiki says they're part Republican, part libertarian, part populist) but they've pretty much infiltrated the Republican party. Although it should be noted that the Republican party already had some problems before the Tea Party happened.*

A lot of their Tea Partiers** are prominent in the Republican party, either as politicians, or people who give them ridiculous amounts of money. Michelle Bachmann, who was running in the Presidential primary (so basically, she had a shot at being where Mitt Romney is right now), is one of them.

*Not to say that the Democrats don't have problems. Or that the whole two-party system isn't in itself a problem. Or that the Libertarians are wonderful and the solution to everything.

**Fun fact, I'm pretty sure they called themselves 'teabaggers' at first, until it was pointed out to them that that was a sexual term. Now if you call them that it's apparently a "slur" and you should stop oppressing them (This is based on one interaction I've had with one of them)

...I hope this makes some kind of sense, sorry, I'm probably making it even more confusing. I'm NOT a politics expert, by the way, the tv in my house is just constantly on political news channels.

lolno on the "they called themselves teabaggers at first." No, some TV reporters called them that and then everyone started using it as an insult.

I stand corrected! Sorry about that.
