Grifter finds new costume...

From Raw Story poster:

Several years ago, while I was running a small business, there was a
fellow running another business across the street from mine. I was
suspicious, however, that his was not a real business, but some kind
of scam. He lived high for awhile on investors' money: fancy clothes,
expensive car (which turned out to be rented), fancy home in an
expensive neighborhood. To me he was just a wise-ass kid, but he
behaved like he was some kind of corporate big shot, and a lot of
fools believed it. He even talked the city fathers into giving him a
grant to buy the building. When the bottom finally fell out his
customers and workers got stiffed and he had pocketed all the workers'
withholding tax, so IRS seized everything, including the building. He
went into hiding and his partner skipped the country. Didn't hear a
word about the guy for about four years, then he popped up as a Tea
Party activist. So, I'm not the least bit surprised to hear that some
other Tea Party people have stiffed one of their vendors; that seems
to be just the kind of folks they're prone to be.

Sounds more like a liberal. Quote the credible links as I call your
bull****.

You don't sound like an idiot. You are an idiot.

No kidding. Here's a story about the Tea Party skipping out on one
their biggest supporters, Venetian owner Sheldon Adelson.

They screwed one of their own...

The Venetian Casino Resort in Las Vegas has filed a lawsuit against
Tennessee-based Tea Party Nation for allegedly failing to pay a more
than $600,000 bill.

The Las Vegas Review Journal reported that the hotel claims the tea
party group owes money for a five-day convention it canceled at the
hotel last summer.

The Tea Party Nation reserved 1,637 room nights in the Palazzo hotel,
according to court documents. The tea party group cancelled two weeks
before the event.

The group agreed to pay the hotel $579,148 in the event of a
cancellation and $87,996 in interest has since been added to that
amount.

The Venetian's lawyers claim the Tea Party Nation "has refused, and
continues to refuse, to make payment," despite being contacted
numerous times, LA Weekly reported.

Tea Party Nation Founder Judson Phillips told Las Vegas Review Journal
that hasn't seen the lawsuit yet.

I haven't heard of a movement with the teabagger membership to send back
the funds they might receive from social security or the benefits they
might receive from medicare or any of the other largess they might
receive as a result of federal programs. They want the bennies, they
simply don't want to pay for them. I wonder if Eric Cantor will get any
slack for his short selling of U.S. financial instruments?
