Tax cheats, bad. Tax evaders, bad. Provide the proof and file the complaints.
Now, back to the topic of this thread, do you think the Tea Party organizations are bad for corruption of the election process? Does our great country have to go through another Watergate Hearing because politicians are elected based on campaign cheating?
There's no need for a Watergate type Hearing and a waste of tax payer dollars. The Supreme Court ruling makes it perfectly legal for companies to donate to political campaigns of either party, anonymously.
Every one knows the Tea Party candidates are Republicans. Lack of disclosure should be your first clue If folks want to vote for them - let them. But, if they
are actually expecting to see changes

The Tea Party organizations are raising money illegally for election campaigning by doing it under wrong IRS tax status of 501(c)(4). http://www.campaignlegalcenter.org/i...d=63&Itemid=61 Oct 5, 2010 -- IRS Urged to Review Crossroads GPS Tax Status: 501(c)(4) Status Questioned for Anonymously Funded Attack Ad Vehicle
All corruption is bad. At least post supporting evidence to validate your claims. I was teenager, remember Nixon resignation very well. It dealt with illegal campaign activities, and yes, this Tea Party illegal campaign activity is worse and far more widespread by its supporting organizations. Tea Party campaign orgs. violate FEC and IRS, possibly DOJ too. This could eventually lead to multiple resignations if Tea Party candidates "win" .
This post is hilarious. The first sentence asks for supporting evidence to validate claims. Then it goes on to indict the TP with no supporting evidence of any Judicial convictions to support the specious claims. I guess only one side need to prove their case around here????
FYI the Watergate Scandal involved a break in at the Watergate Headquaters for the DNC. It was the coverup that brought Nixon's resignation, not the break in. I Yi Yi...
I lived through Watergate, remember clearly the day Nixon resigned over it. But the lessons learned back then are being repeated again by the current conservative campaigns.

How much foreign money do you think president skippy received from contributions funneled through moveon.org?

Yes, Watergate coverup brought Nixon's downfall, illegal activity put Watergate criminals in Club Fed for awhile. If TP candidates do not stop utilizing illegal campaign financing by supporting orgs., what will happen to them?
There are no judicial convictions of TP , yet. Plenty of supporting evidence though within complaints already filed with FEC, IRS and DOJ. I have posted them on other threads dealing with specific TP organizations. Will post here on this thread too.

Hey there! How much campaign cash did Barack Obama raise for his presidential campaign? I'll bet is was more then a half a billion dollars.
azcentral.com blogs - McCain Central - DanNowicki - No public financing for Obama (http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/DanNowicki/26031 - broken link)
0bama become the first presidential candidate since 1972 to rely solely on private donations for his general election campaign, by opting out of the system of public financing and spending limits, he rendered one of the more successful Watergate-era reforms ineffective. But I suspect you were never troubled by any of this during the presidential campaign.
Then if that's known - I guess fine them.
I'm no fan of the IRS or tax codes.
If the Tea Party ran on the platform of repealing the
16th amendment I'd vote for them, but they are
running on absolutely nothing concrete. They are
sincerely insincere
But your right, any thing with Carl Rove's name associated
with it must smell pretty bad

Karl Rove is behind multi-million dollar campaign finance scams called American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, in violation of IRS and FEC.

wrong
it had nothing to do with donations..it had to do with a coverup of a break-in
nixon was covering up, because he was afraid the liberals had something on him..many suspect something about the warren commission..
the liberals of today are the more corupt party
