No they aren't. Tea Partiers don't understand the constitution at all. They think the Bill of Rights is where the constitution starts and stops. They have no comprehension of the constitution framework that establishes the institutions that form and guide government. They started out with a good idea, but were quickly corrupted by Republican operatives like Dick Armey and big money like that from the Koch family.
People spent a lot of time talking about Christine O'Donnell and Sharon Angle because they were the biggest freaks in the circus, but this provided high cover for some real broken people to run campaigns. Rand Paul stands out to me as a real threat to our society. He's an ophthalmologist who couldn't get certified by the national board certification body, so he started his own certification body and certified himself. If that doesn't scare the bejesus out of you and tell you everything you need to know about this guy then the nuances of government and law are lost on you.
