Tea Party does what it does best....fail

[SiriusDawg]

Less than 24 hours after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) delivered a Tea Party response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, TheTeaParty.net, a well-known conservative group, reached out to supporters to say that it is "deeply embarrassed" to have failed to raise enough money in the last several weeks to fund a nationwide series of pro-gun rallies scheduled for Feb. 23.

"Last week we announced that we needed to raise $100,000 to market the Day of Resistance to make sure that there are HUGE crowds at all of these rallies," read the Wednesday email from outreach director Dustin Stockman. "Unfortunately we remain well short of our goal. As of writing we have only raised $26,125.72 towards the $100,000 goal."

Also in the email, a huge flag photo is printed with the words, "Failure Is Not An Option." Somewhat optimistically, Stockman wrote, "We will reach our goal and are deeply embarrassed that we have to extend our deadline to Friday."

Well, they don't rely on government money because they are too small and irrelevant to get any money from the feds.
