Tea Party money spent to send staffers on four cruises

[WI_DEM]

The Tea Party Express, which backed under-funded tea party candidates in GOP primaries -- including Joe Miller in Alaska, Christine O'Donnell in Delaware and Sharron Angle in Nevada -- paid Holland America Line a total of $103,000 to send six of its staffers on four consecutive cruises.

Politico: "The payments to the cruise line, which appeared on a campaign finance report filed Friday with the Federal Election Commission, have started drawing attention from critics of the Tea Party Express, who have alleged that the committee is a front for Republican consultants seeking to use the populist movement to make a buck and live the high life."

3. The whole conservative movement is about throwing money around for show and

self-interests. Not one fucking conservative I know gives a shit about their government or their fellow Americans.
