Was The Tea Party Stolen From Ron Paul

I'm a Ron Paul supporter. I ran for rep Delegate, and committeeman and won both. 2yrs ago RP was talking about a tea party, and most rep wouldn't give him the time of day when he talked about government spending. I don't feel Mccain would have been any better than the puppet we put in office. why did you republicans not back this man? look where we are now!
