Rebel Conservatives Excel in G.O.P. Fund-Raising, Heralding a Tug Right. Looks like Rove and his merry band of RINOs are getting their butts kicked in the fundraising arena.
Four Republican-leaning groups with close ties to the party’s leadership in Congress — Crossroads and its super PAC affiliate; the Congressional Leadership Fund; and Young Guns Action — raised a combined $7.7 million in 2013. By contrast, four conservative organizations that have battled Republican candidates deemed too moderate or too yielding on spending issues — FreedomWorks, the Club for Growth Action Fund, the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Tea Party Patriots — raised a total of $20 million in 2013, according to Federal Election Commission reports filed on Friday.
This shows the power donating to conservative PACS and Tea Party candidates and withholding money from the RNC and traditional RINO Pacs can have. Remember, money talks and lots of it screams.
