A vote for The Tea Party is a vote for anarchic apocalypticism.
"Republicans for Revolution"

A sensible human once said, "If people knew how much ill-feeling unselfishness occasions, it would not be so often recommended from the pulpit"; and again, "She's the sort of woman who lives for others—you can always tell the others by their hunted expression."
C.S. Lewis: "Screwtape Letters," Letter XXVI

"Rather than revisit their strategy of supporting Republicans after this week's near-disaster, influential organizations such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are standing behind Boehner. More important, Boehner's friends in the business community are getting ready to take sides in a few Republican primary races against tea party candidates in Michigan, Idaho and Alabama who could cause the House speaker more trouble...It's this decades-long relationship that helps explain why even as one wing of the Republican Party threatened to drive the economy off a cliff, the business community has largely stuck by its party -- and its man, Boehner. These lobbyists say they are worried that Boehner has a shaky hold over his caucus." Jia Lynn Yang and Tom Hamburger in The Washington Post
