The Tea Partiers have many goals: returning to the gold standard, repealing the health care law, lowering taxes.
And apparently, they don't want to vote for senators. Several Tea Party candidates for office want to repeal the 17th amendment. The one that took the decision over who would be a senator away from state legislatures and gave it to the people.
Most ironic are the people who favor this who are running for the US Senate. Personally, I think if Tea Party people don't want to elect senators, they should feel free to not vote for a candidate in the Senate races this year. I doubt they'll take this idea to its natural conclusion, but I wouldn't mind.
