Title: Lifestyles Of the Rich and Teabagger Post by: Howey on August 21, 2014, 07:01:39 pm (http://i.imgur.com/6ayg8lq.jpg) Thought the Tea Party spent the bucks donated by the fervent masses on issues and candidates? Think again (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/08/19/flushing-money-down-the-tea-party-toilet.html). (http://i.imgur.com/ezkmUyK.jpg) While all of them suck, the Tea Party Express and Sarah Palin's PAC are the worst. duh. Quote Tea Party Express Total receipts were $9,501,795, with expenses of $9,447,467 and $381,098 benefiting candidates. That’s 96 percent on expenses and 4 percent to candidates. As worthless as the Tea Party Express is in rationing out just a mere 4 percent to candidates, they too must have their politicking prowess questioned when more than $200,000 of their total went to Owen Hill, who withdrew in March when Cory Gardner stepped into the race. Quote Sarah PAC Total receipts were $2,068,666, with expenses of $2,120,019 and $106,000 benefiting candidates. That’s 95 percent on expenses and 5 percent to candidates. With just a measly one-hundred grand in candidate support, Sarah Palin’s PAC basically has taken a shotgun approach by doling out $5,000 cash contributions to eight senatorial candidates, and a half-dozen House candidates, most of which are notable for their primary losses. Question. I wonder how much of those millions was donated by unintelligent, impressionable, old people and rednecks? |
