"Two conservative lawmakers have backed out of speaking engagements at next week's National Tea Party Convention, the latest trouble for the gathering of tea party activists.
Reps. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., both prominent backers of the tea party movement, announced Thursday they won't attend the Feb. 4-6 event in Nashville, Tenn. Their offices released statements Tuesday citing concerns about how funds raised by the convention might be used.
Many tea party activists across the country are boycotting the convention because of its $550-a-person ticket price and the $100,000 speaking fee it is paying to Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice presidential nominee.
The convention is being run by a for-profit Tennessee corporation registered to Tennessee lawyer Judson Phillips, who has said he hopes to make money on the convention."
That's how Conservatives run their "Populist" conventions -- with $550 per person tickets and $100,000 Speaker Fees.
Once again, the GOP shows it is the Party of the Haves and the Have Mores. What are all these simple, exploited "Tea Party sheep" doing at Tea Party conventions whose only goal is to wreck these poor people economically?

"Tea Party sheep" LOL
I just call them the lickers for short because of the original meaning of Tea Bagger. There is nothing wrong with Tea Bagging, and I would never try and outlaw it. I say live and let live. If only the cons would do the same.

M & M won't come because Palin will be stealing the show with her $100k speaking fee she gets and M&M certainly won't get that much.
How much $$ did Palin ask on EBay from people to have dinner with her?
Dear Palin has $$ signs in her eyes and celebrity aspirations. She's dumb and crazy. Wished she went sailin' into obscurity.
M&M and Palin would have been the 3 stooges. lol
Palin is NOT stupid, and it gets very old hearing you say how stupid everyone is.
I have this mental picture of you, sitting with your wild gray hair flowing, cackling and rubbing your hands together, just drooling over your next hateful little comment.
You are GREAT at name calling, I will give you that much.

Read my post again caseyboy. There is not a "stupid" word in there. You made it up. Are you too dumb to read properly? lol
Am I getting to you caseyboy? Surely looks like that. lol
Get it through your head that this website's name is: Conservatives Are America's Real Terrorists.
Therefore, don't expect any loving words for your con idols.
Palin isn't stupid. She gets a $100,000 speaking fee.
On the other hand, the people who listen to her, who fill her audience, who justify her $100,000 speaking fee -- what can be said about their intelligence (or lack thereof)?
Why would anyone want to pay good money to buy a ticket to hear someone set forth in chapter and verse exactly how to destroy their lives, economically and socially? I guess charlatans always earn big bucks. Why does Rush Limbaugh merit such fat pay checks?
These are high-priced Pied Pipers fluting and tooting and leading the rats to drown in the sewer system of their demented Right-Wing policies.

Oh, I'm sorry Anon2. You said "dumb" not stupid...Pretty much the same thing.
STUPID:Definition: stupid refers to lack of ability while ignorant refers to lack of knowledge
DUMB:Definition: stupid, unintelligent
No, you are not "getting to me", you just annoy me with your simple minded comments, and barbs that you think are sooooo clever, but are actually just juvenile.
I don't know if you will understand this, but I will give it a try...there is a BIG difference between honest debate, and name calling. I realize that this is a progressive blog, but I was hoping that you guys had a bit more to offer than simple name calling. Funny. I don't feel the need to resort to name calling in my comments---at least not very often. Then again, you even use on me.
If name calling is the very best that you can come up with, why not at least try to be more creative. It will at least keep your comments from being so very tediously predictable. (oh sorry. Did I use a big word there? TEDIOUS means, BORING)

Fking A, CJP nice...

Do you really BELIEVE what you just wrote? Are you SERIOUS? (Because really, I laughed out loud) Very Shakespearean and dramatic)
So...people that are conservative, or don't agree with you, are "rats". I am seeing a trend here.
