Excitement is in the air. It’s the First Annual Tea Party (and Tea Bagger) Convention at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville! Keynote speaker is scheduled to be – Sarah Palin?
Very recently the darling of the movement, and a sure draw, she is now persona non grata and head of the Tea Party enemies list due to her support of John McCain over Tea Party darling and poopyhead J.D. Hayworth for the Senate seat in Arizona. It’s very quickly turning into the expensive party that no one wants to attend.
Founder Justin Phillips is counting on the $349 per TP’er to see Palin only, and the $549 for the entire convention; if nothing else to raise the funds a pay Palin’s $150,000.
speaking fee! With some pre – paid TP’ers asking for refunds, 500 empty seats, and right-wing stalwart nut jobs like Michele Bachmann and Marsha Blackman bailing, vendors,
sponsors, and workshops are pulling out as well.. It would appear that it’s time for a showdown on the Republican/Tea Party Purist Express. If Palin isn’t with ’em on supporting
J.D.Hayworth, it can only mean that she’s against them!
