Conservative chumps sent $50 million to right-wing ‘scam’ groups like SarahPAC
Many of those groups have already been (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/10/desperate-donors-tighten-purse-strings-on-right-wing-groups-and-self-immolating-gop/)identified (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/02/tea-party-patriots-investigated) as sleazy (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/08/05/exclusive-pro-troop-charity-pays-off-tea-party-cronies-instead.html) in numerous (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/tea-party-pacs-reap-money-for-midterms-but-spend-little-on-candidates/2014/04/26/0e52919a-cbd6-11e3-a75e-463587891b57_story.html) reports (http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/super-pac-scams-114581.html), but the conservative website admits many of those were likely shrugged off by GOP donors and activists.
The 170-page report showed the vast majority of money spent last year by prominent conservative political action committees was “siphoned off to vendors, wasted, and just plain old pocketed by people in these PACs.”
Two Super PACs – Tea Party Army and Republicans for Immigration Reform – gave no money at all to candidates through independent expenditures or direct contributions, the study found.
Eight other groups – including The National Draft Ben Carson for President, Tea Party Express, SarahPAC, and Tea Party Patriots – gave less than 10 percent of their expenditures to candidates.
The bottom 10 groups surveyed spent more than $54 million last year but contributed slightly more than $3.6 million to Republican candidates.
“I doubt the average donor was under the impression that only a nickel out of every dollar he or she gave went to getting tea party friendly candidates elected,”
