I thought tea partiers were all about fiscal responsibility? They sound like a bunch of deadbeats to me.

"That’s what the Venetian hotel alleges in a lawsuit filed last week, according to the Last Vegas Review-Journal.

Venetian owner Las Vegas Sands says the group owes the sum because it canceled a meeting that was supposed to happen July 14-18, 2010, "

Ironically, the Tennessean points out, Sheldon Adelson – the principal owner of the Venetian hotel’s parent company – has donated money to conservative politicians and tea party supporters."

They were planning on Medicare covering the fee like it did the scooters that cart their fat asses around Wal-Mart.

This is a harbinger of more flip-flopping.

Your thread title is very deceiving.

No services were rendered.

Groups cancel events all the time.

Sorry. This doesn't pass the smell test.

Thank you for playing, though.

Most of the money owed is for the cancellation fee, but the hotel also added an 18% interest charge of $87,996 on the outstanding balance, the Review-Journal says.
MmmmmmK.

Did the Tea Party Nation of Tennessee skip out on a $642,144 Las Vegas casino-hotel bill last summer?

in a lawsuit filed last week, according to the Last Vegas Review-Journal.

So when someone alleges something you accept it as fact and start threads about it? Why are you trying to deceive people?
