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.
If the quotes about compensation are accurate, then Jenny Beth Martin hasn't volunteered a minute of her time.
I had no idea that she was that well compensated. Just what has her organization really accomplished that she should pay herself so handsomely?
George Washington fought the entire Revolutionary War and did not receive even one red cent (they really were "red" back then) in compensation.
