Heck Obama paid people to be grass roots for him. Tea party isnt paying people to attend a rally. So which one is really grass roots the one that has paid supporters or the ones that doesnt.
sorry, this doesnt make sense in too many ways.

Is this OP grasping at straws because he knows the Tea Parties are a growing force against the radical far left? They are running scared and losing one election after the other. This ignorant rant is their fear in action....LOL They cannot stand the fact that Palin has what it takes to bring people together against the left.

I bet the left winger whiners have no problem with this:

Taxpayers pay $101,000 for Pelosi's in-flight 'food, booze'
Speaker's trips 'are more about partying than anything else'

Taxpayers pay $101,000 for Pelosi's in-flight 'food, booze'

Obamas entire campaign was said by many that it was the biggest and best grass roots movement ever. Yet he hired people to actually campagin for him going door to door and answer phones put up signs. So if paying someone is grass roots then the tea party movement must really be grass roots because it isnt paying people to attend or do things for the movement. Wouldnt you agree.

If the tea bucket people want to give their money to these people, let them go for it. They have every right to be fleeced.

to be fair the tea party people are concerned that the government has gotten out of control.
they are little late to the party but as to spending, see you at the party. of course they say you should clean up your own house 1st.
daddy did you really cosign for those 100k+ student loan for your 40 year old child?

If you even looked at my post, with an excerpt from the link, you would know that it is the for-profit nature of the event that is the issue. If you read the link, you'd know a little more.

lol How do you think acorn works. Do you think acorn doesnt work to make a profit? How much do you think the founder of acorn has in his bank account.

You do know you dont have to donate a penny right

^^Well, this little party will apparently involve a violation of congressional ethics for members of congress if they give a speech at it. That should tell you something. This is not a thread about ACORN, which I have no interest in.

Speaking of being fleeced, we are fleeced daily by hussein obama and his criminal administration. I bet you have no problem with that, do you?
