You can't expect intelligent, eloquent discourse from the opposition that's lumped together under the banner name, "Tea Party", especially since it's been hijacked by the establishment Republican party now.
There are much more effective ways at opposing the status quo and where it's heading, but that requires an individual to absorb a worldview that largely ignores the two mainline parties in Congress and elsewhere. Not many are willing to do that, since watching talking points on Fox News is convenient and effortless.
