Fellow DailyKos diarist TomP wrote this diary after stumbling upon this RedState diary written by that site's founder, Eric Erickson, in which Erickson accused the Republican Party's establishment, which he called the "professional right", of scamming members of the Tea Party movement.
While I was reading Erickson's latest RedState rant against the GOP establishment (I don't read RedState all that often, but I do occasionally to remind myself how nutty the Teabaggers are), Erickson accused the consultants who worked on Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign of sending underage Wisconsinites into drinking establishments and getting them drunk:
The professional right bled Mitt Romney dry, scammed millions of conservatives out of their hard earned money so that consultants could fly on Gulfstream jets, and sent kids to bars in Wisconsin to get drunk while actual grassroots groups went door to door only to see the professional groups take credit for work they did not do.
(emphasis mine)
While Erickson didn't have any proof that Romney's political consultants were getting underage Wisconsinites drunk, I wouldn't put anything past Romney or any other Republican. Also, if Romney's consultants were getting underage Wisconsinites drunk, one would have to question whether or not other Republican candidates and/or their campaign staffers have gotten underage people drunk.
Also, if Republican candidates have to resort to getting underage people drunk in order to win the support of first-time voters, that would prove that even Republican insiders believe that a majority of Americans can't support their policies without resorting to dirty, or even illegal, tactics in order to get Republican candidates elected.
While I'm inclined to believe that this is yet another instance of Eric Erickson making absurd, unsubstantiated accusations against someone, I wouldn't put anything past any of these Republicans.
