What is funny is that what you posted is so ridiculous for whatever reason.....(and I truly don’t mean to bash but if it comes across that way - you’re right it is late and while I don’t have any rum or want any - maybe a little snack would perk me up...who knows....)

I was at the Tea Party Nation conference/banquet and heard Sarah Palin’s speech in person and viewed the rest of the convention by way of PJTV.com.

First there were at least 1000 people in that ballroom for her speech, not 600.

An attendee could either pay for the whole weekend (but these tickets were sold out when I finally became aware that there was a chance I could attend) - OR pay for just the banquet. Which is what I did. AND IT WAS THE BEST MONEY I HAVE SPENT IN MANY YEARS!

And, every single person in the room - except for the press who hate her guts - were in total unanimous and enthusiastic (understatement) agreement with EVERY WORD SHE SAID!

One thing she said was that this “movement” is not about any one person (nor any one “Tea Party” group).

It is, how can I explain - A MOVEMENT, A CAUSE, SOMETHING BIGGER THAN INDIVIDUALS AND BIGGER THAN INDIVIDUAL GROUPS.

SIGH

If you did not hear/see her speech - go to cspan.org or pjtv.com and watch it again in full and maybe you will understand what I am talking about.

If that doesn’t help you, I would suggest that perhaps you have an agenda other than what most in the Tea Party movement have. Maybe that’s just a temporary situation for you - pending more education. Or maybe you have a vested interest in seeing that the Tea Party movement fail.

I have no idea which it is for you.

Good luck.

Agenda? The same as any true conservative!

I can't seem to figure out this Phillips, no one mentions him, people don't know if he has plans to set himself up as the leader of the movement; worst of all, they wonder if the 'rats and RINOs are trying to divide and conquer.

Yes, the cause is big, enormous if you will; and it won't be won in a day. It took years to sink to this level and it will takes many years to struggle out of it. So, Freedom you make your conjectures about me, confusion reigns IMO & Ill keep trying to sort it out. The very worst that could happen is for someone to break up the movement. I don't trust certain people who may just want a piece of the action--the world's full of them. To say I want it to fail, that is an insult.

Right now we should be wondering what Iran is up to, it sounds ominous.

Good day FRiend. Your post is most excellent. And most kind to molybdenum. You give moly the benefit of the doubt. You were there. You saw others there. You know why you were there and why you are a part of this movement. It's not a party and doesn't have a 'leader' per se. Hell, any one of the attendees could have gotten up and delivered the content. That's why it is a true grassroots movement in reaction to the most awful Executive & Legislative branches of government EVER.

IMHO, molybdenum (from seeing other posts on many other threads) is either a "concern troll" or a Rondementalist trying to be a fly in the ointment of Sarah or Tea Party threads. Sorry moly.
