What is this? Tea Party Express news?

This was my inbox:

Fellow conservatives,

First off, we are a group of conservative and Tea Party activists who are against the Tea Party Express.

We support their political views, which most all conservative groups share, but do not agree with their unsavory fundraising, organizational, and political tactics.

With that said, if you are a supporter of the Tea Party Express, we would like you to seriously reconsider any financial and moral support of their organization. The time to hold them accountable is now.

Contact the Tea Party Express and ask them for a refund of your contribution. Simply provide your name and address so they can look up your financial contribution and refund it to you.

From allegations of deceptive fundraising practices and spending millions in consulting fees, to intimidation in numerous elections and blatantly attacking fellow conservatives, the Tea Party Express has lived beyond its purpose. We must stop them now before their new tour starts on October 18th.

Instead of encouraging activists at the grassroots levels to support conservative candidates by knocking on doors and making phone calls, they continue to be "talking heads" of the Tea Party movement and hold rallies that get nothing done but yelling and screaming.

We here at TeaPartyExpressLies.org hope you join a growing coalition of Tea Party and conservative groups who are against the Tea Party Express and its hijacking of the Tea Party movement.

Thank you,

Committee to Expose the Tea Party Express

P.S. Please forward this to your friends and family.

I recall a similar kerfuffle some time ago. Who are these people? Are they for real? This is my second email from these people but don't recall signing up for this newsletter.

I am signed up for the real Tea Party alerts.

There are several phony tea party groups and some out-layer groups (extreme Libertarian ones) that have been attacking the Tea Party Express. For example, there is the Nevada Tea Party that people suspect Harry Reid helped start to try to split votes.

The Tea Party Express is probably the most organized group that fuses the grass-roots and political groups. Every shade from Free Republic to the Campaign for Liberty are a part of the TPE.

Here is that group’s website.
http://www.teapartyexpresslies.org/

They have hidden their domain registration, however, the attacking them because someone drove an old Mercedes smells of a democRAT.

Probably a false group if they send you unsolicited email.

Smells like union to me. The complaint about driving an “expensive foreign automobile” gets my spidey sense to tingling.

Indeed, I smell a rat when the domain is handled via:

Domains By Proxy, Inc.
What are they hiding?

Libertarian/Republican PAC.. just pointed it out to show the TPE represents a pretty wide variety, from the traditional Conservatives like Free Republic to the Libertarian leaning ones.

What’s especially funny is the car they have a picture of appears to be a 12-15 year old Mercedes, not exactly expensive. You could probably pick up that model for around $5K used. IE, while it is a Mercedes, it is an older model that your average joe working schmuck would own.

It is Ron Paul's group that promotes Libertarians running for office as Republicans... such as his son.

The only group I have authorized is Tea Party Express. It was unsolicited. I had to unsubscribe to prevent further messages. The company behind it ... http://eusatrix.com/

It's a scam.

A plant by the left to reduce the amount of money the TEA party has and destroy the movement. Totaly Union/Soros/Lib.

Send a return email saying you do not fall for Union behavior or scams.

Pretty lame website. There are NO links anywhere on the page. I certainly wouldn’t trust them. Why are they hiding their origins and organizers? Because they are cockroaches.

Oh wow, then this is interesting. Eusatrix was actually a PR firm behind the Tea Party Express and they were fired for some shenanigans like running up thousands of dollars in bar tabs. The CEO of Eusatrix is Kelly Eustis who, while he claims to be a Republican, is a Huffington Post darling and is, to put it lightly, very strange.

Look at the “source” on your email. It will publish a list of sites navigated to get the mail sent to you. Might find something interesting.

Perhaps this genius lifted a few names from the mailing list and started sending out emails?

Something interesting also is the metadata on the Tea Party Express Lies website includes names of a lot of TPE insiders. I bet this is a personal vendetta for some reason if it isn’t an outright political attack.
