Anti-Tea Party Web Site Part of Scheme to Funnel Funds
Fox News ^ | 1-9-10 | Joseph Abrams

Posted on 02/10/2010 4:04:27 AM PST by radioone

A new Web site targeting the tea parties is a part of a complex network of money flowing from the mountainous coffers of the country's biggest labor unions and trickling slowly into political slush funds for Democratic activists.

Another sign that the Left is scared of what the Tea Parties represent.

Fight back.

Just a suggestion for fellow tea partiers to consider.

In blue states where conservatives have a legitimate shot, how about you red staters helping us out?

This is just one example but I’m sure there are many more.

In Michigan’s 7th district conservative Tim Walberg is leading incumbant democrat Mark Schauer in early polls which is a good thing. However, fundraising has been an issue in a state where the private sector has been decimated and the ACORN/SEIU types have been getting an increasing share of the taxpayer nipple. Basically there is nothing more to give in the places that need conservatives the most and I’m sure democrats have been counting on this.

I hope red state conservatives will take a close look at their races and if the conservative is doing well, maybe you can consider sending a few bucks to blue state conservatives who have a legitimate shot.

When you help a blue state elect a conservative, you help that state stand on its own and more important you help America.

This is already happening. It occured in the Scott Brown race, where once it became known that a GOP stalwart actually had a fighting chance of beating Martha Cokehead for the seat a hungover Teddaquiddick Kennedy used to fight "the runs" in, cash started pouring in to his campaign coffers from all across America. Once his improbable story went National, he took in over $1 Million in one day!

Keep the faith. Sarah's faith, that is. Faith in the One True God, whose Son is the crucified and risen Jesus Christ, and who blessed this people with the Nation called "America."

Forgot to mention - I am blessed with a true Conservative, Randy Forbes, here in Virginia’s Fourth District. Randy is one of about 15 real Conservatives left standing in Congress. We need more.

Walberg is a good man. A solid record of no votes on taxes in the state legislature. A baptist minister with a strong pro life stance. Yes on drilling and yes on consumer driven alternative energy.

He took the congressional seat from RINO Joe Schwarz in 06 and served one term before the NRCC stripped him of money right before the election. He lost the seat by 2%.

As a congressman he spent his vacation sleeping in his office while demanding that democrats return to washington to deal with energy policy. He was a vote against amnesty and a double vote against bank bailouts.

I sent $25 to Rubio yesterday. Part of the “money bomb” campaign. We can’t allow another RINO like Crist into the chamber. Crist is now claiming that he is a “true Reagan conservative”. Yea right. Sure.

Screw the NRCC. We TPers have already proved we can deliver a money bomb where it can do the most good. If you’re connected with the Walberg campaign, suggest setting up a money bomb drive. WE CAN DO THIS.

I’m not connected but MestaMachine set up a good series of Election central threads by state that could be a good resource for looking over the races.
