Donations to Karl Rove’s Groups Drop 98% After he Targets the Tea Party

I get tired of saying it.

Outside of the two issues of financial responsibility (which does not have to mean massive cuts), and fidelity to the Constitution and it’s processes, there IS no such thing as the Tea Party.

The Tea Party is just millions and million of families disgusted with DC AND those who make it the way it is. These folks are filled with distrust and disgust towards R AND D and not especially filled with happiness and blind faith with the groups call Tea Party this or that, but at the moment those groups MIGHT be helpful.

You cannot CRUSH, TARGET, or diminish such a thing.

We will stay home and you Mr, Rove will lose EVERYTHING, FOREVER, and after the other party runs it into the ground, those folks will just pick up the pieces shaking their heads and there WILL BE NO R OR D. We will stop striving, have 2 less cups of coffee, put it on cruise and have a BBQ with our folks. We won’t even have to do it on purpose.

After wasting nearly $325 million during the 2012 election cycle with nothing to show for it and then declaring war on the Tea Party, donations to Karl Rove’s three Crossroads groups decreased by 98% last year. The groups reportedly raised a paltry $6.1 million combined in 2013.

Rove runs Crossroads GPS, American Crossroads, and the Conservative Victory Project Super PAC, which was formed this year to wage war against conservatives. Rove’s two groups raised $325 million in 2012 and about $70 million in 2010. As Politico notes, though, “Rove added a third group to the network in 2013, forming the Conservative Victory Project to counterbalance the influence of Tea Party and conservative grassroots forces in GOP primaries.”

Since then, as Breitbart News reported, “Rove’s organization has been so tarnished among the conservative base that candidates fear donors will not contribute to any group associated with him.” Aware of this, Rove’s Crossroads network has reloaded with groups that share donors but are technically not affiliated on paper with them.

All three of the groups “are permitted to accept unlimited corporate and individual contributions,” and donations to Crossroads GPS, a nonprofit, are even tax deductible.
