By 2007, the Paulites and Campaign for Liberty had started to come on board. By 2009, the mainstream ReThuglican Party, led by Dick Armey, et al. had taken it over in terms of co-opting the name, and completely changed its focus to what 99.99% now know as the Teabaggers of today (basically the overtly bigoted, anti-Muslim empiric lap-dog, 'corn-pone in a Hov-A-Round' spectrum of the ReThugs).

The original party just folded, a week ago: http://bostontea.us/node/1190
