The Tea Party represents a significant shift in the priorities of right-wing and swing voters towards true fiscal responsibility for the government, one that is evident in the attitude of GOP politicians and the results of the 2010 elections.
Disagree with their policies if you will, but do not imply that they are crazy or dismiss them. The platforms of both major political parties have changed and even swapped places many times in the past because of the agitation of one group over one issue.

what about the Wisconsin governor who just cut $140,000,000 in taxes to corporations, but now has $137,000,000 budget shortfall and is taking it out on the unions because the budget is unbalanced and Obviously its their fault?

Then you should redefine what you call crazy. You
do know that corporations don't pay corporate tax, right? Or did you imagine that the shrewd and "greedy" CEOs and Boards of Directors that the progressively-minded love to hate suddenly found their consciences when it came to surrendering a third of their income to the state? In a very competitive market? Who's crazy now?
All companies do when pressured by tax or unions or trade quotas or whatever is raise the price of their product or shift assets somewhere more friendly. They don't pay the tax, you do.
