Yes, and this is how politicians of either party raise money. But the Tea Party freshmen were going to be different, remember? They were not going to become part of that corruption. Instead, they were going to Washington to do the people's work, and in the process, change the way things were done in Washington. No longer would representatives be bought and paid for by special interests.
It sure didn't take long for that meme to die. Within a year, it turns out they're just more of the same.
This is the truth big time. They are no different just wack jobs.

When did the Tea Party freshmen say that they weren't going to accept money from PACs? I get what you're saying but your ideas of different might not be the same as mine. From what I've seen so far those freshmen Tea Party members are dong the people's work and I'm quite satisfied with the outcome of the first Tea Party affected elections.
There are no elections this year. Some have jobs. Or they could sit around in tents whining and complaining about nothing like some are. Like the previous poster said some are holding office now which was their goal.
No elections this year? Coulda fooled me! No national or even state elections here, but plenty of local stuff.
You can't tell me the TP wasn't in favor of this stuff.
Local Tea Party groups were involved in all of those elections, they're just not important to everyone in the country and you didn't hear about them in national news every day at 6pm.

Your link confirms what I said, what's the problem? The Tea Party was involved in the election on a local level.
You're talking about a local NC school board election... seriously.
