Liberal Super PAC attempts to “Take Down the Tea Party 10″

A liberal super PAC is set Monday to launch what it is billing as a multimillion dollar campaign to “Take Down the Tea Party Ten.”

The effort by the progressive outfit CREDO aims to use the new big-spending super PAC model, which can accept unlimited donations, to back extensive local organizing and “education” aimed at defeating 10 members of Congress seen by the left as the worst of the worst.

“We’re talking about some of the most odious members of Congress. Even for Republicans these guys are low,” said Campaign Manager Matthew “Mudcat” Arnold in a statement.

“We’re going to empower local activists to organize their friends and neighbors to lay out the truth about their representatives in the most basic terms,” Arnold added. “They are anti-woman. They are anti-science. They are hypocritical, bigoted, and have said and done things that are downright crazy. They’ve done more to embarrass their constituents than they have to govern or work toward solutions. They are unfit for Congress, and we’re going to help their constituents hold them accountable.”

    The one thing that this sordid forum cannot stomach is the truth. The truth is, thse in the congress and in the White House; Those in all areas of governm,ent, are parasites. They care not a gfig for any of their constituents as actions speak louder than words and many words have been spoken the last three years but NOTHING accomplished but a 4 Trillion increase in debt, less individual liberty, more Taxes for reduced services a stagnant economy and fewer jobs than three years ago in the private sector and the most UNAMERICAN government in US history. When veterans are considered prime terrorists, Citizens second or third class to illegals, morality unimportant and a homosexual ,agenda of prime importance, the nation sufferrs. The Tea Party will prevail; in November because it will attract millions of unenrolled independents sick of Obamanomics.and his lo9ve for illegals and radical Muslims. End of Story.

    So this attack on the Tea Party candidates is being launched by the supporters of OWS?? This makes perfect sense… Here's an idea, how about we let the people from their district elect whom they want to represent them and then allow them to take their place in the State and Federal house's of government. This practice of everyone getting involved in everyone else's politics is getting to be pathetic. And I mean on both sides!! I in FL. should have nothing to say about the Gov. of IL. Why can't we keep money from FL. out of local elections in other states, and vise versa?? The fact that someone from CA. might dramatically influence an election for a congressman in PA. needs to stop, Period. People need to mind their own back yards, if the people don't want the person representing them, they wouldn't have elected them.. This country will never be straightened out until we have true election finance reform… It just gets worse every year. Look at just Newt and Mitt, they spent over 23 Million $ in FL. on a primary!!! They say Obama has a Billion stored up and ready!! Ridiculus!!!

      pw11, Right on….. This country was founded on the printable of each State governing itself. You make a great point on other States influence on your State. The great thing in this Country or should I say one of the great things about this Country, is that if you don't like the way your State is run, you can move to a State that is more to your way of thinking. Let's face it, big cities are more liberal, and they also have more monies at hand. That can in itself be devastating to a free government. Scary……

  • AmericanTea

    So "Tea Baggers" that's what intelligent people who care to crap on the American Flag call a movement which preserves the American way of life, the way our fore-fathers did. Yes our fore-fathers, the ones which gave birth to this country, not the ones who tried to take down America in the 60's. I think it's time for you to get on the cheese line and get your Government issued everything. The Lib's think it's funny to get a rise out of people, but when the same people rise up and use their God given right to stand for what they believe in ( and do it in a non-violent, non-anti American way ), they do everything in their power to put a stop to it. Go hug a tree and stop making your carbon footprint bigger by using energy from the power grid…….Oh yeah, "GO GET YOUR SHINE BOX"!!!!!!!!!

  • Linda

    What this really is, is another one of st. obama's chicago thuggery style of creating more and more confrontation between American citizens and creating another destructive team of "activists" (remember that obama word?). The TEA party stand for 3 things, less government controlling our every move, a balanced budget (what? omg.) and less taxes that are being spent faster than we can pay them on projects like Solyndra and 6 other failed green companies. Now which part of these things is wrong?

  • Jack F.

    These idiots can't even spell truth anymore.

  • TEA PARTIERS!!

    I AM a PROUD TEA PARTY terrorist and WE WILL FIGHT TILL THE END!!

  • JoeInCT

    If they get the rabid Left that upset, then they're my kind of people.

  • Dr. Real

    I would be happy to join a pac that would go after just two democrats – Pelosi and Reid.

  • budman

    Rigafunkel:. There were more votes by the Tea Party for Romney than for the others in Florida.

    They can put all the money they want to defeat these ten but doubt it will work. The Democrats, on the other hand, have to worry because they are losing one in six now registering as either Independent or Republican because they are tired of the dirty behavior of their party. One of those targeted may become the Vice Presidential nominee and Democrats better hope he isn't or they will lose a considerable number of Independent and Black votes. Many Liberals and the big money also are backing Romney over Obama so this has to been of concern to you as well. So, don't be surprised when the Democrats get clobbered come November and we have a Republican President and a majority in both the House and Senate.

  • Cathy

    Just heard last night that we lose whoever wins the Presidency! If the Czar and Chief loses the lefties will call fraud! We as Americans can't seem to catch a break! The light at the end of the tunnel is dimming by the second! God save us all! God help our Republic! I am a TEA Party leader!

  • lizaz

    Let them waste their money….they'll never win because too many people now recognize the Hitler-style government we have!! We are not stupid!!! Go Tea Party…we are behind you and will do everything we can to help defeat the Reid-Pelosi members of the House and Senate…..2010 all over again!!!!

    The nation should take down the 'Liberal 10' including this Liberal SuoperPAC, ACORN, the OWSheeple, Brady and her anti-gun treason club, the Klintons, the lib-slant major media outlets, and the rest of the liberal scam!

  • tweety

    The GOP has also targeted certain races and they have their own "list" of people they'd like to remove, such as Richard Lugar, a Republican in name only. I'm donating to many Tea Party congressional members, even though I'm not in their state. I urge all of you to get behind the candidates you like and support them

  • shearwater

    They enjoy rebellion and civil strife. Would like nothing more than to bring down our traditional American way of life and cause mayhem like the OWS. Gives them a cause other than their own sordid thoughts and values. The Tea Party is a group of people who simply want fiscal sanity, moral rectitude, minimal government, responsible stewardship, national defense. . . things most of us took for granted before democrats came in and spoiled it for the rest of us . . . the 99%.

  • Moose

    Why is this news, CREDO has been in existence since the 1990's and is a very "progressive" PAC. You would expect them to be against Tea Party members. What I don't understand is why you would want to give them publicity during an election period.

    How much money is George Soros going to spend on these Crook's to get SWING Votes. The Crook's are in both DEM and REP MONEY TALKS

    Part 1/5: In 1770 the compromises with England began to fail. After Franklin was left standing for hours under the House of Lords berating the Colonies and Franklin; Franklin returned and said it would not end – Declaration of Independence. Transition for to: Was, Federation, finally a Constitution? Ask by the crowd as Franklin left from writing the Constitution replied you have a Republic if you can keep. From that day we as a people have been in the war of ideas. Basically keep the constitution or undo it or throw it out. The Federalist finally accepted the 10 amendments of the rights of man to basic freedom and liberty defining that the Constitution making a Centralized government-was a list of limited powers for the Central/Federal Governance of the People.

  • Reader

    Part 2/5: But those who would end liberty and freedom never stop fighting. Folks who pay their bills and pay all the taxes looked at the growing and growing mountain of debt and said enough already. (So, did Obama: but he turns out be the biggest spender of all, over 5 Trillion; as he holds a Statist world view and teaches such views and writings of those hold a Statist world view like Saul Alinsky for he doesn’t hold to the Constitution of the Founding Fathers and us like the Tea Party). So, they looked around their communities found people who keep their word (known them all their lives as trust worthy, and who also agreed too much spending; so, stop the spending and don’t lie was and is the message. They ran them for office. They were elected. They went to Congress.

  • Reader

    Part 3/5 Now, these Tea Partiers oppose spending and increasing taxes, because they (the spenders: do I really need to list them; look at the voting records) just turn around and spend the new taxes not paying down the debt. So now they (Those like the Tea Party) are accused of being obstructionist because they will not "compromise" to spend more money that the nation doesn’t have; such spending grows the national debt. How serious is this debt thing: Greece fell at 140% and is still in trouble; while we US just broke in December 2011 101.5 % GNP up from 100% GNP in March 2011. The Spenders refuse to stop the spending. Wow! People in politics who keep their word to the people who elected them refusing to spend money the Nation doesn’t have. So, the war continues.

  • Reader

    Part 4/5 The anti constitutionalist Spenders desire to get rid of the local people’s candidate to stop the spending even thought they don't live in the community or state that elected them. Nor does the money they bring in to campaign. And people wonder why those who hold a Western Way of Life, based in Judean Christian economics, rule of law including moral and ethical values to govern society (How important to the Founding Fathers? The Fathers carved the rule of Law on the Wall of our Court including the Supreme Court to ensure the preservation of the Contract), personal responsibility and the demand to secure personal freedom and liberty all based on a Contract with each other for Governance as the Supreme law of the land, view those upholding the Constitution as evil. The Spenders are the ones who are evil and obstructionist. The National Debt of the nation is the number one factor eroding the middle class, and prevent growth on every level personal and as a the nation.
