I was told by a friend(public figure, can’t post his name here) that the GOPe has spent over 140 million in the past year to defeat conservatives/tea party candidates. He is one who would know the truth too.
The Chamber of Amnesty/Karl Rove political machine is spending a fortune to undermine what we stand for.
I don’t find that hard to believe at all. They know full well that if they keep people scared with the bi-annual threat of the Dem Satan du jour that people won’t think about that kind of thing. And they are right unfortunately. But if one DOES stop and think even superficially about it, it has to cost a lot of cast in races across the country to keep conservatives pinned down.
All the TV ads, all the paid consultants, all the paid ‘right wing’ journalists. That’s all money. Real actual money.
Now if the average voter asked uncomfortable questions like “You are screaming for donations and using them against everything we believe in to get RINOs elected. Why the hell aren’t you spending that NINE figure sum on fighting the people you supposedly oppose?”
But the answer would be, of course, that they ARE. And that makes it damn hard for people to compartmentalize their principles when they KNOW they are paying for their own throat cutting.
So they simply refuse to ask the question and pretend that money is spent to fight Democrats.
