I think these Tea Party groups got greedy and thought the $$$ would come rolling in if people could exempt their donations...something that didn’t happen. They gave up their freedom for the prospect of making money.
You can’t rail against the big government mess while taking advantage of it. That’s hypocrisy and leads to the compromising of principles.
I think many of these Tea Party leaders aren’t really leaders...they’re sheeple.

Nonsense again. If you mean business, you will take advantage of every crack in the death star to destroy it. Once it is disintegrating into space, I’ll go back to worrying about ideological purity.
