Sarah Palin Serves Tea Party Delegates Red Meat and Certainty
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyNASHVILLE, Tenn. – She had them even before she said hello. And she had them before she prefaced her much-awaited speech by paying homage to conservative hero Ronald Reagan on what would have been his 99th birthday. By the time Sarah Palin took the stage on Saturday, the last night of the first National Tea Party Convention, the room was already with her, anticipating each dig at the "liberal left" and shout-out to "everyday people" -- and rewarding her with repeated ovations. Palin was mocking, asking, "How's that hope-y, change-y stuff working out for you?" and she was serious, ...
Scenes from the Tea Party: A Reporter's Notebook in Nashville
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyThe Birther Movement Lives Joseph Farah, editor of the conservative Website WorldNetDaily, opened his speech at the Tea Party convention in Nashville with jokes and questions about President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship. To loud approval from the crowd, Farah said his dream is that if Obama seeks re-election in 2012, he won't be able to go to any city in America without seeing signs that ask, "Where's the birth certificate?" The fact that the rest of the media has declared the issue settled is proof, he said, that it's not. Where Are the Young? A funny thing about the break-out session ...
Invited to a Tea Party, Sarah Palin Speaks, but Will She Lead?
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyNASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tea Party movement may have a leader -- if she chooses to step up. Sarah Palin's Saturday night keynote address was definitely the hot ticket, and she is the one person who could unite the activist groups that have gathered for the first National Tea Party Convention. Palin has been such a presence, it's hard to believe she hasn't been in Nashville all along, since the convention's opening on Thursday. Earlier Saturday, Tea Party Express' Amy Kremer was positively giddy when she announced that Palin would appear at the March 27 Searchlight, Nev., kickoff rally for her ...
From a Grass Roots Tea Party, a PAC Blooms
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyNASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The first press conference at the first National Tea Party Convention broke news about something that is not affiliated with the Tea Party movement -- much. Confused? So were reporters and some activists on Friday afternoon. Mark Skoda, media director of the convention, announced the formation of Ensuring Liberty Corporation (ELCORP), a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, and its soon-to-be-established political action committee, the Ensuring Liberty PAC. The PAC would allow people in the Tea Party movement and anyone else to contribute money that would be used to fund key races across ...
At Nashville Tea Party: Saving the Country, Waiting for Palin
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyNASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Is it a movement or a political party? When Opryland visitors with no clue they were sharing a hotel with the National Tea Party Convention call the gathering of grassroots groups "a step in the right direction," the label hardly matters. That endorsement from Paul Verderese and his wife, Patti, came on Thursday as we wandered the maze that is the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, headquarters for a national convention that hopes to bring the like-minded into a unit they believe can transform the country. The Auburn, Mass., couple had attended the victory ...
