There's nothing in any of these links that show direct quotes from TEA party members.  Just some interpretations from the reporters that wrote the stories, and the guy named "Lee" that suggests some slogans!  In all the photos shown on the ABC link, I don't see protests about taxes, do you?

Once again, you are taking the media's interpretation for gospel instead of going directly to the source. 

The Tea party moniker came from the protest that originally began that adopted the original tea party protesters as a good "template".  I don't know who or what came up with your acronym.

Davey you are all wet again.

So your only defense is to say that anything ever stated about taxes and the tea party are simply incorrect. Photos? Hmmm?

Hi TP

Now cmon, at this point all this is doing is gloating, you'd have to have been living under a rock not to know that the Tea Party folks were fuming over taxes and taxes and more taxes. It's why the strength of the movement gained so much so quickly. We all stood scared that the Obama tax code was going to kill any economic growth and put the rich into the poor house with the rest of us. All bunk and hype, but I think what our friends HiR and others are saying is, in spite of the obvious, taxes are what fueled the health care issue in the first place, how we gonna pay for it? the deficit and unemployment? Taxes seemed to be the answer. But be that as it may, it's just a tit for tat game now and no matter how many pictures and quotes you find proving the tax issue regarding the Tea Party message, it's more fun to deny it and keep the thread going.

So I propose a new issue. How we gonna pay for the already 42-47 million without coverage? From 2004 to 2009 we went from 64 to 130 billion $ annually to cover the 3% increase of uninsured patients. Like I asked many times already, how we gonna keep payin this? If we can get back to work again we might just stand a chance. Otherwise the tea party folks can go back to screamin about the taxes it's gonna take to pay it, instead of yellin about the causes of all this in the first place.

Lucy.

Could one of you knotheads please explain to me what's wrong with being mad as hell at more taxes?
