Tea Baggers cough up $100K to hear Palin speak

[Ibanez]

How many trillion are we paying Obama to say corpse twice.

None. The Presidents salary is no where near the trillions, and he doesn't charge a speakers fee.

You and your facts....

If you actually have a point why don't you articulate it for all to read. Looks to me like you just want to make as many Obama references as you can, if there is a point behind it I'd love to know what it is.

Anyone watch her interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News today? It was pretty damn funny..... She did seem to get a little peeved with him when he asked her about the $100K speaking fee.

By the way.......according to Mrs. Palin, Alaska is "the most diverse state" in the country........




Oh yeah..........she definitely wants to run for President!

At one point on Saturday, some disgruntled Tennessee tea-party activists held a press conference to complain about the cost of attending the event ($549 per person), which they say excluded many supporters. But when asked whether they begrudged Sarah Palin her reported $100,000 speaking fee, they blanched. "Of course not. I love Sarah Palin, we - I think it's safe to say we - all love Sarah Palin.

Palin said, "We are now the keepers of conservative values and good works."

Palin is a successful quitter. Nothing more, and much less.

It's actually a legitimate question there, Nancy.

The obsession with Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement fascinates me.

Houndawg nailed it with the "peole of Wal-mart" comment.

The roughly 600 people who attended the full convention at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel were overwhelmingly white, older and disproportionately from neighboring states. They seemed united in their opposition to the growth of government and their belief Obama’s policies represent a dangerous creep of socialism into American life. They also were united in plans to turn what began as a protest movement into a political force for conservative candidates in the midterm elections.

Still, many resisted the suggestion they would unite under leadership from Palin or any other figure.

“I don’t think the tea party movement has a leader,” said Charlene Miller, of Cincinnati. “That’s not what this is about. She embodies the spirit of the tea party movement.”

Just think, without the Palin draw their numbers may have been in the dozens.

Whatever you say Jan.

Maybe you should direct your question at the nitwits who are paying to hear her speak. Or perhaps the news media that continues to report about them.

You admit that it fascinates you, but wonder why someone else gives a ****. Maybe you should look in the mirror to get the answer to your own legitimate question.

Tell you what, when all the Chicken Littles on this site stop starting frantic threads about either the Tea Party people or Sarah Palin, then I'll stop asking. I have said many times that they are not legitimate nor are they realistic political alternatives today. Anyone with half a brain can see this.

The nitwits that give money to the Tea Party or Palin do not post on this site. If they did, I would harangue them. Until then, I have to settle for the nitwits like you and the rest.

Therefore it is fascinating to me that some people remain obsessed.

It's George W. Bush's fault.

Research much?

1. The convention was sold out.
2. The convention was designed to be for delegates only.
3. The tickets did not include accommodations.
4. The convention was a for profit event.
5. Palin donated the $100,000 back.

Okay Shannon. But it seems to me that you can apply the "who gives a shit" argument to just about every thread on the poli board. I'm glad that you think yourself qualified to tell others what to post about, but personally I don't give a shit about your opinion.

Speaking of nitwits, you posted on this thread before I did.

1. I never told anyone what to post about. I asked why somebody gave a shit about Sarah Palin and the Tea Party.

2. Your approval is about as significant to me as Sarah Palin.

1. No, you just called anyone who cared about Tea Baggers and/or Palin a nitwit. Stay classy.

2. Which means that if someone starts a thread about my approval, you will post on it.

I bet she doesn't even know that PJ O'rouke said that

[BDKJMU]

The Tea baggers aka the far Right, are fighting so much with themselves, that they'll probably self destruct. They're hypocrites. They are bitching a bout policies that have been in place since Bush. They're just angry a democrat won the election. THey aren't Americans...they're **** Tories.

Some of what they are bitching about started under Bush, and has accelerated/grown worse under Obama:

They are bitching about that giant turd of a stimulus bill which was several time the size of any stimulus passed under Bush.

They're bitching about the deficit that was bad under Bush (about 450 billion in FY 08') and has accelerated under Obama (about 1.4 trillion FY 09') and is projected to be almost as large FY 2010.

They are bitching about the bailouts that started under Bush and in 08' accelerated under Obama (more for AIG, Citi, GM and Chrysler, etc)

They are also bitching about things that weren't in place under Bush like that giant turd of a health care bill and economy killing cap and tax bill.

I wonder if the 1st dude realizes that he'll have to part ways with the Alaska Party secessionists if his wife runs for President of the US.

Not yet. I cannot fathom why anyone would want to be President, except for the huge amount of bank they will make afterwards.

Bill Clinton made what, around $50 million on books, speaking engagements and other appearances?

I agree. I wonder if Obama's teleprompter will also go on the speaking circuit once Barrack is out of office.

The teleprompter will go on the speaking circuit and a book tour to promote its tell all book - "The Brains Behind the Voice"

I don't recall these people in 2008. Only in 2009. Why so late? Oh that's right, we's gots a colored boy in da big house. Where were they in 2008 when Bush started the bailouts? What about when he nationalized the banks? Seems that all I hear and read have to do with how bad liberals are. Conservatives have an equal hand in this mess.

I agree that a revolution is needed. But they are going at it the wrong way.

You don't recall? I and countless others were screaming against the bailouts, the government stimulus package, etc. before the election and long before Chairman Maobama's coronation.

If you think Conservatives "have an equal hand in this mess", then you are under the incorrect assumption that George W. Bush was a Conservative.
