Democratic Party Political Director Linked to Mysterious Tea Party Political Party

A tea party organizer in Michigan says he has found the smoking gun that links the Democratic Party to the controversial "Tea Party" that is running candidates and seeking official ballot status in Michigan.

A "Jason Bauer" is listed on recent federal election documents and state campaign donation documents as the "political director" of the Oakland County Democratic Party. A "Jason Bauer" signed the affidavits as the notary on nine of the mysterious Tea Party Political candidates' paperwork turned in to the state of Michigan.

A "Jason Bauer" has registered twice to run for office in Oakland County, once as a Democrat in May of this year. Both times, the Auburn Hills home address given by "Jason Bauer" is the same as the "Jason Bauer" who is identified as the Oakland County Democratic Party political director on the state and federal campaign documents.

Bauer didn't immediately return a message left for him at the Oakland County Democratic Party headquarters. A message left for the party leaders wasn't immediately returned.

Jason Gillman, a tea party organizer from Traverse City and author of the blog "Michigan Taxes Too Much," discovered Bauer's involvement while trying to dig up information on the newly formed Tea Party candidates.

"I couldn't get hold of these people (candidates)," said Gillman, who then said he knew that they had to file affidavits of identity with the state when running for political office. "Otherwise, it's like these people don't exist."

While reviewing the documents, he saw that Bauer had signed them.

"We have an important election coming up in November," Gillman said. "What I found is that there are forces out there that would like things to stay the same and they will go to all lengths to try to deceive people so they can keep it that way."

An unethical liberal 'rat (I know that's redundant) trying to hijack the TEA Party name recognition?

Proves there is absolutely nothing too low for their ilk.

[FrdmLvr]

No. They’re trying to split conservative/Republican vote.

The left still thinks the Tea Party movement is a political party...how utterly stupid can a whole group of lefties be?

There is no denying that the left is scared stiff of the TEA party movement, as they are trying to co-opt it in several states. But the phonies will be easy to spot...they are running as Tea PARTY candidates, and there is no Tea PARTY; there is a TEA Party Movement, but a movement is not a political party and does not run candidates.

For at least 18 months the TPM has tried to explain so even the MSM and the left could understand it, but they just don't get it. There is no "leader" in the TPM for them to attack...it's a movement, everyone who supports the movement is a leader. These are just like-minded, patriotic Americans who are tired of the socialist bent of the current regime, and the taxes, and are simply speaking up.

In reality, the left DOES get it...that's why they are running scared, their secret decoder ring has been exposed and their lies aren't working as well anymore. obama knows that the millions who participate in, or even support the TPM is NOT a vote for him, or his leftist cronies. King obama does not like, not being liked. But those affirmative action types never did cotton to the idea that respect has to be EARNED.

So let the phonies keep trying, we're onto their game. The TPM will endorse and back...but they don't "field" candidates. Any candidate claiming to be a "Tea PARTY candidate", is just another liberal, telling another lie.

Snagged SOB’s!

We had the same thing here in Florida but these dolts actually declared and filed paperwork that formed the Florida Tea Party. Not to worry, we sniffed them out even before the paperwork was filed and all bonoafied TP groups have let the word out in a big way so these people never got any traction. We are making sure their road is greased really well to keep any traction preempted.

Should I be surprised?

“Chetly Zarko, who recently passed away, uncovered the petition drive necessary to create the Tea Party and discovered it was being done by Progressive Campaigns Inc. out of California. Their website has a client list that includes a campaign issue supported by George Soros, a well known supporter of Democrat causes. PCI also was involved with the Reform Michigan Government Now petition that was supported by Democrats and opposed by Republicans.”

“The Mackinac Center for Public Policy exposed that the designed purpose for RMGN was to re-write the Michigan Constitution in favor of Democrats. The proposal failed to gain ballot status in Michigan.”

“Unethical liberal” is a “oxymoron.”

It's unlikely that Nevada's and Michigan's are the only instances of this.
