A new report from Politico’s Ken Vogel details how ten major GOP consultant firms who made a combined $1 billion off Mitt Romney’s failed 2012 White House bid are still large and in charge of GOP politics, raking in millions more for the 2014 cycle.
According to Vogel’s analysis, the firms and the consultants who work for them have already made—through January 2014, nearly a full year before the midterm elections—more than $19.6 million.
“They’ve also cemented relationships with some of the GOP’s rising stars, setting up the firms for even bigger paydays headed into the fall, when costly advertising and mail campaigns begin, and for a 2016 presidential campaign expected to be the most expensive in history,” Vogel wrote on Monday.
The firms Vogel focuses heavily on include: Mentzer Media Service, Crossroads Media, American Rambler Productions, Targeted Victory, and FLS Connect.
Each of these firms handled major projects for the Romney 2012 campaign or for GOP groups aligned with Romney’s outfit.
Mentzer Media Service, an ad-buying firm based in Baltimore, was paid $280 million in the 2012 cycle from groups like Karl Rove’s Crossroads.
while Vogel notes that hardly anyone “in the consulting world on either side of the aisle dispute that a certain amount of cronyism — or, at least, inertia — plays some role in determining who gets which contracts,” the GOP consultants he quotes in the article attribute their continued high-dollar workload to being effective political workers—even though they lost the 2012 election.

remember, the Mandarin class suffered when the Revolution in China occurred. I just think that our revolution will be oddly different, but no less painful to the current Mandarin class in Washington D.C.
Cocaine Larry Kudlow is a classic example of that self important crowd.
The K Street crowd that turned Republicans into crack whores worse than the Democrats.
They SUCK!
Bump
G.O.P. = GIVE OBAMA POWER
...............and steal conservatives’ money and hope
The most effective money goes to the “low information voters” for their massive voter fraud. Thats why Rove and his cronies were completely surprised on election evening on Fox.
We know RINOs hide behind dems and try to seem compromising, reasonable, moderate. And they side with them regarding the TEA Party. They make it known they HATE the TEA Party.
Then, as the political animals that they are, in order to keep power, they move right when they’re up for re-election.
Am I hoping against hope that, if we could somehow manage to elect a huge majority — the RINOs would have nowhere to hide — and they would have to move right and stay right?
I hold on to that hope because I want my country back.
This is the core problem with the GOPe.
For the uniparty it’s always about the power and the coin (pronounced “kwan”).
“But but but...we gotta keep voting for them and no matter what and stuff. CuZ you know...the dems are worse...”
Once the dance has been decided on, all that remains is the choreography.
“Probably not...but they sure love to make themselves sound important, and sniff each others’ farts.”
Beautifully descriptive and accurate, but crude.
Thankfully you’re in the right place.
“The K Street crowd that turned Republicans into crack whores worse than the Democrats.”
They’re getting ready to welcome their newest colleague, the kentucky doughboy.
