The Upcoming Tea Party Convention

[finnbow]

The Tea Party is about to have its first convention in Nashville. It'll cost $549 to attend, will feature the lovely Mrs. Palin as keynote speaker (speaker's fee of $112,000), and plans to clear $300,000 profit. If you plan to go, make sure to go properly attired with your Mother-of-Pearl Tea Bag jewelry ($89). What better way to show your support for this populist movement?

Reckon the liberals cross the country will decide TN is just a plain bad place to live .. and maybe stop moving here? We wouldn't complain. Land taxes are fine just the way they are now .. CHEAP.

I made that call already. Lived in Memphis for about a year and a half. Nashville was a nice city though, and I have friends in Knoxville who love it. But I could do without Memphis again for the rest of my life. I'd never actually seen people yelling racial slurs at each other in the streets before I moved there. And there are streets (almost all the ones named after Presidents, ironically) that you don't want to drive down at night.

Yeah them thar TeaBaggers just want to take our country back. Then why the hell did they choose to name their movement after an imported item?

Brought to you from the party named after a Jackass.

Michele Bachmann is speaking too. I wonder how much her speaker's fee is.

The press is being barred from the convention floor. They're being "quarantined" in a specific part of the lobby.

Ya think the Teabaggers will eventually figure out they're being played for suckers?

I hear whenever Barney Frank is told about the "Teabagger's" he gets mad and a little excited. Use to be that just was date night for Barney.

Are you hinting that the Left wingnuts dont also get speaking fees or that they dont "quarantine" media? Cause if you are you would be wrong on both counts. If folks in media want to use grade school insults and a general pattern of comical mockery of this movement then the media should be held at arms distance................the left did it to the media and the Right plenty of times.
