Wingnut nation
That emergency preparedness session is not about FEMA, is it? That's about giving the anti-government survivalists a gun-toting home in the Republican Party's base.

Tea Party rip-off
Would be interesting to know how much donor contributions the tea party's are using in the lawsuits against each other?? Tea Party Nation is really Tea Party Nation, Inc. They actually copyrighted the name and has made noise like the are going to start litigating for their copyrighted name when other groups use "tea party" as a part of their name. Their guest speaker at their little convention will be Sarah Palin. THE Sarah Palin that has no problem collecting her $200,000 speaking fees for speaking at fundraisers for government-run hospitals in Canada. What's wrong with this picture?
Please remind me again
Which one is Blackmann and which is Bachburn?:
