Our calls here at CHT to skip the so-called “Tea Party Convention” next month seems to be having an effect. Today it was announced both Congresswomen Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn) are pulling out from their speaking gigs. Now Sarah Palin is the only draw to this event and if she decides to say thanks but no thanks (and turn down an easy 100 grand), well then, it’s not going to be much of a convention.
But I’m sure Conservative INC. will still enjoy the stay at the luxury hotel.

Paul Streitz (previously from the Buchanan brigades and one of Palin’s most enduring activists) just withdrew his support:

Hold your nose, however, when you read his comments on Giuliani.

I warned Paul when he started this that he was hitching his tent to a woman with no clear understanding of the issues and no history of supporting patriotic immigration reform.
Too many Americans confuse distrust for elites with actual conservatism.
