if the same people who fund the gop are funding the tea party and how funny it is that they will be at each other's necks in the sessions to come (Rand Paul said that the tea party would caucus together) and some rich dude(s) will be funding both conservative sides at the same time. I hope they waste lots of money.

4. Exactly, they're the big sugar daddies to the tea party people
They try to hide behind PACs, think tanks, foundations and dummy corporations, but journalists are starting to put the whole slimy slug trail together to follow the money.

3. I saw an interview with Dickless Armey...
...and he said that he won't disclose who their
corporate donors are.

So there you have it.
