Sarah Palin

The Tea Party is not an official electoral party with an official leader, however Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and running mate of John McCain in the 2008 Presidential Elections, appears to be the unofficial voice of the Tea Party.


This video has Sarah Palin promoting the Tea Party as a movement for the people, the Tea Party is centred upon doing what is best for the people, by reducing taxes and trying to help reduce America's debt through cutting Government spending. The Tea Party are looking to bring America back to a bygone 'golden era' which never did really exist, but the party believe that the founding fathers would've shared the ideas of the Tea Party.

Immediately in watching this video, just by listening to the music played, it is quite intimidating and to me, I would associate this sort of music to a war game or film. The Tea Party talk a lot about change and how they have new and revolutionary ideas, but the way this video is made, it would appear as if they intend on changing America by force.

The way that the video shows many people walking across open land like they are marching with a purpose and it highlights that they are going to change America by the sheer number of them, and although the group claims to have no leader, this video makes Sarah Palin look as though she is the leader of the people.
