Isn’t TPP THE Org Mark Levin pushes?

I don’t care who pushes them. I remember seeing their ratio dollars-to-real-action as being pitiful.

As I said before, the only one of these so-called TP groups that actually put the money to the road was Club for Growth.

You have to be careful. Just because one or more than one of them gets on TV is one thing. Dollars to the problem are another. A $450K salary for a Reinhart College graduate is not my idea of appropriate in my opinion.

Yes. It appears the money they don’t spend on Jenny Beth Martin’s exhirbitant salary goes to buying radio ads with Mark Levin and others.

This is the kind of nonsense that contributes to the low opinion of Tea Partiers in general.

Organizations like this should be up front with their salaries. The donations to these groups is supposed to be used to promote the Tea Party causes and for educational and grassroots projects. Instead the money is used to line the pockets of the leaders.

The IRS can use this organization as a prime example as to why Tea Party groups were targeted.

Mark Levin needs to know that his endorsements are being used to line the pockets of JBM and are not being used to support grass roots causes.

Tell you what I find so interesting about all this, I saw JBM in person at a rally a couple years back. She is NOT an energizing presence by any means. There was absolutely nothing in her words or delivery that compelled me to want to join her cause or give her a penny. I’m so curious how she managed to climb to her position.

E-mail is free and there's a sucker born every minute.
