A donor who does not want to be named has written a $1 million check to Tea Party Patriots, and the organization's national coordinators intend to push the funds out into the field by the beginning of next month -- in time to help with get-out-the-vote efforts for the Nov. 2 election. In a Q&A with reporters at the National Press Club, Mark Meckler and Jenny Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots dropped a few hints about their benefactor: "He" is a businessman and entrepreneur, they said. Asked if he had given to other political causes, Meckler said he didn't know. The anonymous nature of the donation was Topic A at the press conference where Meckler and Martin announced the grant. Organized as a "social welfare" group under section 501(c)4 of the tax code, the Tea Party Patriots is not regulated by federal campaign finance laws and is not required to make its funding sources public. Meckler said the grant will be distributed among the Tea Party Patriots' 2,800 local affiliates to help further voter education and turnout efforts. "None of this money is to be used for direct election activities," he said. Translation: As long as the Tea Party Patriots do not mention candidates' names in their material or explicitly advocate for or against a specific candidates' election, they don't have to meet federal requirements to disclose their donors. This according to Paul Ryan, one of the experts at the Campaign Legal Center, a non-partisan watchdog group that monitors election law. "There certainly seems to be an increase" in the use of 501(c)4s to "launder" political donations, Ryan said. He said big donors find them "attractive" because they can give money without getting their names in public. Some business donors would prefer to keep their political preferences private to avoid alienating customers, Ryan noted. "The Target corporation is Exhibit A," he said. The reference is to the furor set off when news surfaced this year of the mega-retailer's financial support for a Minnesota gubernatorial candidate who opposed gay marriage. Gay rights advocates boycotted the company, and Target apologized to employees. At the news conference today, Meckler took a not-so-indirect swipe at a rival Tea Party organization, the Tea Party Express, which operates a full-fledged political action committee that has reported more than $5 million in donations to the Federal Election Commission. In a reference to the consulting firm of veteran political consultant Sal Russo, Meckler said the Tea Party Express answers to the "small, elite leadership team," that helped found the organization. "We're here to support the real grass-roots activists," Meckler said.
Poster Comment: Not the "Tea Party Express", which is Dick Army/GOP. Hopefully more Tea, and less GOP. Who's the donor, Soros or Rockerfeller?

Cough****KOCH Bro's****Cough
Maybe it's Palin.
The takeover has begun.
More leftist conspiracy theories, skippy. Get a fookin life. You losers are going to bite it hard in November.
Good guess. The Koch brothers have funded most libertarian / anti-government institutions from the Libertarian Party to the Cato Institute to Freedom Works, and now probably the Tea Party movement. They are true heroes of freedom. BRAVO!!!!!!
Oh jeeze, not those Koch libertarians again! Good guess, could be. "Some people say I'm crazy, paranoid even, but they've never been attacked by pre-Cambrian life forms, have they?" ~Burt Gummer (Tremor)
Oh jeeze, not those Koch libertarians again! Good guess, could be. Again: "...can Be anything they want to be in this country." Now combine the Slave just getting his/her 'freedom', with the Koch Brothers, having freedom PLUS Billions of $$$ at their disposal. The Slave has to bring Mass Human Support to bear. The Koch Bros can just BUY gov't. And I can repeat this Ad Nauseum for your benefit. ;}
BRAVO!!!!!! Spoken like a true, entitled Nazi. To equate the Wealthiest(and All wealth comes from Undiscovered crimes;} with the Bottom 90% is obscene. And quoting that nazi from Alaska is ignorant.
The Takeover is OVer. The Top 50 000 can't get any wealthier. The Bottom 90% will be crushed further by the Wealthy's Efforts to do just that. The Collapse has happened. We're just waiting on the Crash: Headline: 15 Million Unemployed Cheer Restored Wall St Bonuses 8D
No, I am for freedom. You are for government control. YOU are the Nazi. That's very clear.
IMO us tax slaves aren't doing real well at winning elections and gaining liberty, with what's left of our slave wages. Maybe some fat cat libertarians with a fistful of dollars, buying TV ads, could help us? Is everyone with a wad of cash evil?
Smart money says its Chuck Norris.

Sure they can, and they will.
After say, $150 K a year (being generous here;}, pretty much. Who does a president represent, exactly? Why are we still in Afghanistan? 8D
Sure they can, and they will. No. They won't. They can't. " Let’s also consider the fact that more than 20 million people were on unemployment benefits last year. A Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analysis concluded that unemployment insurance temporarily kept 3.3 million people out of poverty. Food stamp assistance kept another 2.3 million people out of poverty. On top of that, an additional 2.3 million people in prison were not counted in the poverty rate. Add up these numbers and we are looking at 60 million Americans living in poverty. Which means the government number glosses over 16.4 million Americans in poverty. Now let’s look at the poverty line that these numbers are based on: $22,050 for a family of four. Let me repeat that: $22,050 for a family of four. That breaks down to $5513 per person, per year. I don’t know about you, but I can’t imagine living in the United States on $459 per month. That amount will barely get you a good health insurance policy, never mind food, clothes and a roof over your head. No wonder why a record 50.7 million Americans do not have health insurance. (Beware: 50.7 million Americans without health insurance is a government-based number. If you had health insurance for only one day last year, you are not counted in this total.)" http://theautomaticearth.blogspot.com/ Unless they can feed humans thru the grinder, faster. ;}
They can't. You underestimate them. Add in another jolly little war - Iran, with the necessary private contractors and private security companies. Then figure the minimum skim will be around 20%. Subtract that from the estimated cost of the new jolly little war - say $500 billion or so, and another $100 billion has been taken from the little people and given to the important ones. And there are always public assets that can be sold for pennies on the dollar to favored bidders, providing another source of grand theft from the public. The possibilities are truly endless.
Two good reasons at least, poppies and oil. Gotta protect those profits. The prez represents whomever will pay the most. No change from past administrations. In theory we could try some third party leadership, but it's a long shot. One thing for sure, little will change (except for the worse) with D's and R's running the show.
Isn't that where we've evacuated all the people from the Gulf Coast, mcclown?
I will not support a ticket that has Huckabee on it.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
I don't think Voight has that large of an amount of cash on hand, compared to Norris, who's residuals alone are worth tens of millions of dollars.

The prez represents whomever will pay the most. No change from past administrations. Thank you, H. But we continue to get less bang for the buck. Pakistan’s remote tribal agencies of North and South Waziristan are in a state of virtual panic tonight as US drones continue to loom in the air and three attacks against separate towns across the region killed at least 28 people and wounded an unknown number of others. The Daily Times story that Ditz links to goes on to describe the "great panic among the locals" as the American drones continued to hover over the defenseless towns even after the attack. No one could be sure when or if the robots would fire again. There was no way to stop the machines; they were impervious, implacable, just floating there, groaning in the sky, their "pilots" sitting safely and comfortably before computer screens thousands of miles away. You couldn’t get away, you couldn’t hide, you couldn’t protect your children. http://www.chaostheorien.de/startseite « Zurück The Language of Pipelines Samstag, 11. September 2010 05:23 von Lars Schall The historian Dr. Daniele Ganser from the University of Basel, Switzerland, answers in the following interview questions related to the “National Energy Policy Development Group” of 2001, Peak Oil and the connection to pipelines in Central Asia. According to Dr. Ganser it is very doubtful that NATO will succeed in Afghanistan in order to built the proposed pipeline from Turkmenistan to Pakistan/India.
Then I underestimate the pain as well. And I don't. I'm a scholar of pain. ;} And war is what decimates the Top 50 000. It's their use of violence when they've run out of arguements. Watch.
They're too tight with the GOP for my liking. Bogus libertarians.
YOU are the Nazi. That's very clear. I find it incredulous that Jimmy doesn't recognize his own image in the mirror. Honestly, what you've always proposed is a hybrid Stalinist-Nazism. The worst of ALL worlds, fella.

The worst of ALL worlds, fella. I'll be needing your sources(s;}. In the Meantime, you're just doing an O'Donnell: She is what politics produces when you turn it into a game show and the coverage of it over to a generation of high-technology racetrack touts. She is what you get when political journalism reduces politics to numbers on a scoreboard, divorcing it from the real-world consequences of what are increasingly seen as cute little eccentric decisions. She is what politics produces when we abandon self-government for self-gratification. And that's the real obvious irony in her victory on Tuesday night, and the only thing about it that truly matters. Christine O'Donnell's campaign is a successful exercise in angry, misfit masturbation, with as little to do with the deadly problems this country faces as some guy wanking in the balcony of a grindhouse has to do with Romeo and Juliet." -The Rising Hegemon Blogspot BWAHAHAHAHAHA 8D

EU condemns Ahmadinejad's 'outrageous' 9/11 stance (AFP) – 1 hour ago BRUSSELS — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's suggestion that the US government was involved in the September 11 attacks was "outrageous and unacceptable," the European Union said on Friday. EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton said that Ahmadinejad's assertions at the United Nations general assembly on Thursday "that the United States was in any way responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks or that the majority of people in the US believe this to be the case, is outrageous and unacceptable." "It is for this reason that all representatives of the 27 nations of the EU walked out," she underlined, after Europe joined a US-led Western walkout in Manhattan. The Iranian president said there was a theory that "some segments within the US government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East, in order also to save the Zionist regime." And it's not a theory. 8D
And Christine O'Donnell is a sideshow freak. Seriously now, she was a crackpot when she rose on primary morning, and she's a crackpot now, and she will be a crackpot whether she wins or loses in November. She no more belongs in the Senate of the United States today than she did the day she was born. That 30,000-odd primates in Delaware thinks she belongs there is their problem. If enough people in Delaware come to think so, then she becomes our problem. O'Donnell is a creature of an age in which politics have no meaning beyond performance art. She is the Creature from the Green Room, with no apparent public career beyond being available whenever some teenage booker from the cable shows needed someone to say something reliably stupid. She is one of those people who'd show up at CNN with a waterbowl in her teeth if someone there blew a dog whistle.

And of course as this is NOTHING but an AD Hominem Attack, we're tyalking DisInformation. Went thru this for 5 years at Goldi's site. She then banned me. Couldn't take it. Let's see how long you can, A K, here at YOUR Freedom site. 8D Just remember, AK: You don't source, I don't either: So for these changeovers to keep recurring requires that the party in power be willing to relinquish it. But in my next prediction, I say that the Republicans will never again willingly relinquish power. I think the moment they get the Congress back they’ll end the filibuster and revamp the rules to guarantee that permanent majority, no matter how much they have to trample the Constitution. They’ll flout any court decision against them. (Whether or not there’ll even be such adverse decisions is questionable.) And once they retake the presidency they won’t give it up again. They’ll brazenly rig any subsequent election, and if even that doesn’t work, they’ll simply refuse to recognize the results. But once they’re back in the White House they won’t leave short of being physically blasted out. Everything I see in the Republican Party tells me that. And everything I see in the Democrats tells me they’ll submit. The Democrats would certainly rather meekly cling to whatever permanent minority status the Republicans condescended to allow them rather than lead any sort of revolt against the disposition of power. After all, a surface “political” revolt could easily metastasize into a true structural upheaval against the neoliberal disorder itself. Any good Democrat soldier would rather be a slave within this disorder than run any risk of upsetting it.
And Christine O'Donnell is a sideshow freak. ...said the sites resident sideshow freak... I'll be needing your source. Unless this is ANOTHER unsourced Ad Hominem Attack. How about it, A K A Stone?
