Tea Party Group FreedomWorks in Financial Trouble

Has taken out $1 million line of credit

WASHINGTON — The tea party group FreedomWorks has fallen into dire financial straits, and was forced to take out a $1 million line of credit earlier this year, sources close to the organization told BuzzFeed.

The conservative nonprofit, which raised more than $40 million in 2012, has brought in less than $10 million this year, according to the sources. And former employees say the group's rank and file have grown increasingly frustrated with what they view as management's exorbitant expenditures, including a pricey craft beer bar and fancy Las Vegas hotel rooms that rack up thousands of dollars a night in charges.

If you want to support that sort of political lifestyle you would do far better to support Nancy Pelosi!

Also you had to know that any organization who had Dick Armey in such a prominent role early on was going to be trouble.

It was inevitable: "Cosmoservatives".

What about all that evil Kochtopus money the Tea Party is alleged to be swimming in? You can't make this stuff up; nevermind, that's exactly what the leftoids do.

Nope, best to ignore Obummer's billion-dollar warchest and army of sycophants, and even better to never ask where all that money came from, while continually pretending that the advocates of individualism and capitalism are corrupt.
