I Have Been Ragging On "The Tea Party.net" For Sometime On This Site

I have been ragging on "The Tea Party.net" for sometime on this site.
I want to show you why.
This is the site's "About" page: http://www.theteaparty.net/about-us/.
"TheTeaParty.net is a division of Stop This Insanity Inc."
I did a web search and found it and other domains are listed to the one man show of Todd Cefaratti of Gilbert AZ.
He has a ton of sites and all have the primary goal of getting money - FOR HIM.
One of his sites, "Join The Tea Party" took in $649,000.00 and who knows where it went?
He also is accused of using the sites to gain email address to sell to spammers.
His sites have many actions by the Federal Elections Commission.
He sells his sites to the highest bidder and to commercial sales for gold and mortgages and such with no care if the gullible have gotten sucked in.
Do not take my word for this, I have included some links at the bottom for you to look at.
Why am I posting this?
I truly enjoy hearing the reasoned arguments of some but cannot stomach the screaming of some of the uninformed that just seem to follow what they hear on some site - such as one of the many Cefaratti sites.
I offer a suggestion for you, if you wish to donate to a cause, go to the "About Us" page and investigate just who you are donating to.
Do a web search on what you find there before you send money - the money could just be going into a one man band's pocket.

If you are taking information from one of his sites, he is playing you for a fool.

I truly respect the reasoned arguments of (forgive me as I am bad on names) Steve, Danillo and Bleary, I think. Hope I got those right and they were the ones I meant. My ability with names has always bad.

Some links for your amusement:
This one is Cefaratti being condemned for another of his T-P sites (how many does he have?) by a conservative news blog site: http://www.mightyrighty.com/showthread.php/281-When-a-Rat-Invades-the-Tea-Party

Other than the fact that their about-us page hasn't been updated since 2011, it seems straightforward enough. The only thing they apparently spend their money on other than advertising was a Greyhound ticket from Las Vegas to Washington DC. Hopefully they had enough foresight to buy round trip tickets.

Remoman I agree with you and your evaluation. I used the word stupid in one of my moments of rancor but should have used gullible.
