Politics and religion.

Speaking of Tea Party people - their eminent convention is drawing some raised eyebrows and protests.

The convention is being held at a fancy resort, features $550 ticket prices, a steak and lobster dinner and a guest speaker with a $100,000 speaking fee. It’s sponsored by a for-profit company with a mysterious wealthy benefactor, and its organizers, who have been accused of secrecy and corruption, have threatened lawsuits against dissenters and clamped down on news coverage.

Sounds like just the kind of thing that tea party activists, whose populist outrage is directed at the Washington and Wall Street establishments, would be up in arms over.

Except it’s a tea party convention.

The article is long but interesting. Seems that politics are the same no matter the name of the party.

Sorry, but until there are major changes to the political system (And a sincere thanks to the USSC for today's decision), money is the mother's milk of politics. How do you get your message out? Advertise. How do you pay for the advertising?.......................

The tea parties were not really an organized movement in the beginning, and are not a political party. It's a bunch of voters who have had enough. To identify them as a Republican movement of a Democrat movement would be a grave mistake, as both have been involved.

It's not as much about the ideology as the fact that Washington, DC has to change the way they do business.

The vote in MA Tuesday reflects that. To say AG Coakley appeared to be detached and callous toward the voters would be an understatement, and she paid for it.

And just look at the 'boobs' that are involved?

The Dem defeat in the election was their own fault. MC was a bad
choice as candidate. I understand she is a great Prosecutor, but was
not a good politican. She wasn't good at "meet & greets" and came
across as a Lawyer & not a Political Candidate who smiles & kisses babies.

Since Mass already has a progressive health plan, I don't know how much the HC bill
in the works had to do with the turn out, or lack of it there.

Where is the outrage about Edwards fathering a child not only out of wed lock but outside of his marriage?
