Change the smell test.. Do you really expect a hotel to take a large block of hotel rooms off the market without some type of payment in advance?

Run! It's the PC police!

You know what? You're right! I'm only half offended.

And now that I consider things more carefully, maybe he thought he was bragging with that half.

Actually no you cant. Being sued doesnt tarnish your reputation nor is it grounds for punitive damages. Ask for a refund on your law license.

So this hotel is suing the tea party for nothing? No refund needed, of course if this was Acorn or the Democrats you'd be saying the same things.

The article stated it was the end of June, if I recall, feel free to double check me.

The "sounds like" was sarcasm.

The article also said there was a contract and they didn't fulfill their obligations on that contract, feel free to double-check me.

I dont know if they are suing them for nothing but its done all the time. And yes, I've said very similar things in regards to ACORN and not being a tea party member, I could really care less if they get sued. (especially considering the fact that they could simply close down and create new corporations, just like ACORN does all the time)

JUDGMENT is what matters, I've sued lots and lots of people to simply gain leverage against the other party.

Oh, all right, all right. I guess if I can say "tea party," he can say "retard."
