No, the Tea Party seems to be much more like the Easterlings, who's society has been thoroughly corrupted by promises of power regardless of the decency or lack thereof of the individual members.

If we had respect for the concept of communication, we'd all be speaking dialects of Quenya [wikipedia.org].

Obviously, that would impose no communicative or epistemological difficulties...
