I have never been a member of a Tea Party.

I've never attended any Tea Party functions.

The Tea Party did not run me out. If you know me and my personality, I would welcome the challenge.

I don't like tea! Never have, never drunk it.

I was Tea Party years before there was an official Tea Party.

So I'm a pretty conservative fellow, but not conservative enough for the Tea Party.

At root, the Tea Party is nothing more than a them-versus-us thing.

In many respects, I guess I would say I was into Tea Party before there was a Tea Party.
