ALL of the so-called national tea party organizations are just like any other sheister. It is all about their ability to raise money, or awareness, for the “cause”. The only problem is that time and again the only real cause is their pockets. I know first hand years ago what Martin promised to those local groups to join her coalition and she never paid off.
I don't begrudge people making money, but that is pretty ridiculous for the head of a political action committee run by volunteers. When you consider that her organization gave $0 to Dave Brat, it makes one suspicious of her motives.
Are the other Tea Party "Leaders" making that kind of money?
Does the Washington Compost ever report what Democrats drink? They never miss a chance to slant an article.
I certainly hope she isn’t in this for the money. There was a thread here on the various TP-related organizations.
The actual money applied to doing something substantive vs. admin and ‘other’ costs was disgraceful for just about ALL of them. The only organization I thought who had reasonable $-to-cause ratios was Club For Growth.
As I said, I have hope. But her last appearance on TV I saw her explaining her non-action with respect to Brat was pitifully weak, and her main defense was MS efforts. We shall indeed see how this fares. I see they are out begging for $$ for MS efforts now.
If SHE doesn’t provide some intrinsic value to conservative struggles and she doesn’t succeed there, then she’s just another overpaid opportunist cheating patriots out of their money.
Jenny Beth makes over $400k/year from this. I don’t make anywhere close to this kind of coin.
I’m done with TPP. Never again.
Laura Ingraham hasn’t sold out, unlike you Mr. Broughton.
She’s the real deal.
Jenny Beth Martin is all about Jenny Beth Martin.
The only “real” Tea Parties” are those that are locally organized and run. Any effort to consolidate is usually driven by someone’s ambitions for political gain or other personal aspirations for money and influence.
I can see why the Washington Post would like to publish as much dirt as they can find re the Tea Party Patriots so as to disillusion the conservatives.
I would also expect to see whisper campaigns against the Tea Party Patriots by Elite Republican Politicians and Media for the same reason to disillusion the conservatives.
I am in favor of close scrutiny of the finances of the various conservative groups that espouse Tea Party ideals.
I hope someone has already made the analysis because I know a lot of people who believe Tea Party Patriots is on their side and they make regular contributions to TPP and volunteer their time.
Ya know what folks......none of this Washington Post hogwash is meaningful, whatsoever!!! What is meaningful is that Chris McDaniel politically slaughters the new, Low Life, Democrat, Thad Cochran in tomorrows Senate runoff, special election.
Who cares one iota about Jenny Beth Martin....one way or the other??? Folks...we got us a nation to save here...and the voters of Mississippi...all of them including African-Americans that have beenthrown under the bus by “Muslim” Obama, his Democrats, The CBC & NAACP, etc. have an excellent opportunity to send a “massive” political message that will sound out all over the nation...as did the recent devastating, defeat of Eric Cantor in Virginia!!!
Now.....good folks, voters in Ole MS....get out there tomorrow, enmasse, and vote for Chris McDaniels in overwhelming numbers and do something positive for yourselves, your children, your nation!!! DO IT!!!!
