The Republican Party is pulling the strings behind the tea parties but protesters still have some things in common with Democrats, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

"The Republican Party directs a lot of what the tea party does, but not everybody in the tea party takes direction from the Republican Party. And so there was a lot of, shall we say, astroturf, as opposed to grassroots," Pelosi told ABC's Elizabeth Vargas Sunday.

1. It's about time this was called out

The Tea Party is the same old Republicans, except they are shouting louder.

"...in terms of the role of special interests in Washington, D.C," Pelosi continued.
