8:00AM : Heading for the Tea Party in Nashville.
Leaving this morning with the wife for the Opryland Hotel event, we hope it is worth the money we put out. My wife and I are committed to the Tea Party movement having attended events all over Southwest Ohio and the national event in Washington, DC on 9-12.
2:00 PM : Checked in to the convention and the place is hopping with every cable network sending live feeds. They’re interviewing everything and anything that can walk or talk. My wife and I were interviewed by somebody named Mary from CNN. (told her we were holding out for Fox) I was supposed to be on with them at 6:30PM live, but when I came back they had scrubbed the interview. I think they are hunting around for nut cases to parade out to the nation.
First impression, after looking things over and talking to the crowd assembling it reminded me of the same crowd that we found in DC on 9-12. People from all over the country and everyone as friendly as you can get. So far so good.
We’ll be heading to the cocktail party in an hour to hear Tom Tancredo.
More to follow….From Recon Dad
Say a prayer for my son, USMC SSgt P L O Day 107 Afghanistan.
The MSM, even FOX, is our enemy!
GIVE THEM NOTHING!!!
“Why are you here?”....”To meet people.”
“What does the movement stand for?”....”America.”
“Who is your leader?”....”We don’t need one.”
“What do you expect to accomplish here?”.....Smile sadly, lower and shake your head and walk away.
Prayers up for your son.
As for the MSM treatment there—they risk what little cred they have left if they treat the Tea Party conventioneers with disrespect. The writing is on the wall. The Tea Party/townhall movement is about to take control of the nation and its direction. Nobody is gonna be buying what the MSM is selling.
Glad to hear the MSM is here. Hope they spend lots of bucks.
Oh yeah.....and have a good time

Thanks for the report. Hope things go well.
Exactly! The Tea Party does just fine without.
Are there any events tonite?
Looks like the media is everywhere, cool!
“The MSM, even FOX, is our enemy!”
I was wondering if there was anyone else on the planet who thinks that Fox is just as left-wing as the rest of the bunch.
Now I know that there is at least one compadre. Thank you. :-)
Please keep us updated.

Thanks for the update. Prayers for your son. Thank him for his service when you speak to him.
Wish I was there to hear her sing again.
We had fun at that dinner in Arlington didn’t we?
Thank you for your son’s service. You can be proud of yourself for raising him well.
I am fully aware that I sleep soundly each night thanks to his keeping me safe here at home!
I wish I could have stayed longer, but Lloyd and I had to leave after he preformed.
But I watched all of the videos.
Thanks for the media warning.
(Hope to join the conventioners tomorrow).
Have prayed for your brave son, our hero, and for you and your wife, courageous mom and dad.
Looking forward to hearing Sarah Palin speak in person and hoping to meet some fellow FReepers along the way.
But, but wait a minute, according to some FReppers here this is an disaster in waiting, or maybe they were just Palin-haters looking for an opportunity to attack
