Are Tea Party PACs Scamming Conservatives?



Targeting Republicans???
The Tea Party targeting incumbent Republican
Senators does not pass the smell test.


Follow the Money Trail  -  Regular readers know that I live in the People's Republic of California.  Simply, I would kill to have Mitch McConnell as my Senator. 

In my opinion something stinks when so-called "Tea Party" PACs want to target incumbent Republican Senators.  They appear to want to use the famous name of incumbent Republicans like McConnell as a fundraising tool for them to rake in millions.  Keep in mind that political consultants make a bucket of cash off these fundraisers and the campaigns.

Incumbent Republicans are not the enemy.  The fucking Marxists in the Democrat Party are the enemy.  The Tea Party should be targeting Democrats and seats without incumbents rather than ripping into Republicans.

Tea Party Patriots, a prominent national group, is launching a super-PAC to engage heavily in Senate races and plans to target at least three Republican incumbents.

Jenny Beth Martin, the group’s president, highlighted Senate races in South Carolina, where Sen. Lindsey Graham faces four primary challengers; Kentucky, where Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is facing a challenge from businessman Matt Bevin; and Mississippi, where Senator Thad Cochran is facing a challenge from state Sen. Chris McDaniel, as priorities for the political action committee.

“We are currently huddling with activists on the ground in South Carolina looking for an alternative to Senator Lindsay Graham, and in Kentucky, where many have lost faith in the Senate Minority Leader,” she said in a statement. “We will be expanding the mission into the Mississippi, Nebraska, Louisiana, Arkansas and North Carolina Senate races shortly,” reports The Hill.

The open Senate race in Nebraska features five Republicans running in the primary, while Democratic senators in Louisiana, Arkansas and North Carolina are top Republican targets in 2014.

The super-PAC, and others from the same conservative wing of the party, could complicate Republican chances of picking up some of those seats, however.

Weak candidates nominated with help from outside conservative groups last election cycle lost the GOP winnable races in Missouri and Indiana. And establishment Republicans have pledged not to let a similar scenario cost the party what many believe to be their last shot at taking the majority for a decade.

In Louisiana, the establishment’s chosen candidate, Rep. Bill Cassidy, is facing two conservative challengers, one of which has gained the backing of a number of national conservative groups. In North Carolina, the establishment pick is in a six-way primary.

The super-PAC appears to be geared more toward grassroots organizing than heavy advertising efforts in those races. It will provide activists with resources they might otherwise not have access to, such as voter identification software and polling data.

“Unlike other Super PACs that drop in negative ads from their perches in Washington, DC, to trash opponents, TPPCF will empower the people to have the most impact in the targeted districts and states,” Martin said.


Mitch McConnell is not the enemy
So the Tea Party is targeting GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.  Why ask I?  Has the Tea Party run out of real Marxists to defeat?  Mitch McConnell is not the enemy.  He and the Senate Republicans have presented a united front against Obamacare and the real Marxist in the White House.

Follow the money.  I smell a fundraising scam to raise money off famous name Republicans.  What do you bet that 80% of the millions raised gets sucked into "overhead", expenses and salaries?

No Witches and No Retards
The Republicans could have four or five more Senate seats than they currently have if the party had not nominated retards and witches as candidates.  To win elections Tea Party Conservatives need to nominate thoughtful and well spoken candidates like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.
