If you support a candidate, give directly to that candidate.
So the tea party sucks...I get it!
Some of the TEA party ‘national groups’ are just establishment people there to soak up TEA party funding.
ONLY DONATE TO SPECIFIC CANDIDATES
There is no such thing as a national TEA party
The tea party elected Brat plain and simple. The moron who wrote this piece of asswipe should get out of his office once in a while.
“TEA Party Express is just a money-skimming scam,,”
yep,, that’s the org that came in favor of immigration reform the GOP was pushing.
David Joachim needs to buy a clue.
There is no such thing as a TEAP Party. the TEA Party is nothing but like-minded individuals acting on concert. There is no national organization, so there is no party that can support a candidate financially. Individual TEA Party members donate and that is difficult to track.
The Tea Party Express and Tea Party Patriots refused to help Brat. They gave him $0, although the TPE director makes a quarter of a million dollars. After his win, she refused to take his phone call.
DO NOT give money to these fake conservative orgs!
Tea Party “Groups” is an oxymoron. The Tea Party is grass roots and from there the support grows a few dollars/one person at a time if need be. Most of the TP “groups” aren’t any different than the Dem or Republican established parties.
He hasn’t read that excellent little tale. The Tea Party isn’t the ship. The Tea Party isn’t the sails of the ship. The Tea Party isn’t even the crew on the ship.
The Tea Party is the wind.
The Slimes still doesn’t get it. There is no TEA Party. There is no leader to smear, sabotage, and ridicule. By the way, that is precisely why there is no way for us to beat the terrorists. There are too many different groups to fight in a conventional manner.
That is true. At a local Tea Party meeting a speaker told us of how all they do is raise money and use the money to raise more money. They give very little to actual candidates.
The Tea Party is an important faction of the Republican Party but it is not the total reason for ousting the RINOS. In Texas, Empower Texans is more powerful and puts money behind ousting RINO incumbents. That organization is smart, influential and targets RINOs. If they don’t get a targeted RINO the first time, they will get them the second!
Another very influential group is Texans for Lawsuit Reform. They also are very good at putting money behind conservative candidates.
I resent these national TEA PARTY groups trying to co opt the grassroots movements of the people. Local Tea Party groups are more effective at getting the vote out and working for candidates.
Recently I read that they ( the Tea party big wigs) are taking down huge salaries.
Left-wing disinformation from the nyt.
I did. I was early on impressed by Professor Brat and donated $50, not a huge sum but his campaign obviously made good use of the small sums they had to work with.
They don’t get it, and they deliberately don’t want to get it.
The “Tea Party” is not a formal group, it is individuals who have decided to only vote for individuals.
You can’t stop it. You can’t predict it using party oriented polling methods.
Tea Party is a state of mind more than a formal movement.
