Las Vegas resort sues tea party group over unpaid bills

Guess they met their debt ceiling. Via Gawker.

Some Tennessee tea partiers are in hot water with a Las Vegas gambling resort that’s accusing them of skipping out on a big hotel bill.

On Monday Venetian Casino Resort, LLC., filed suit against Tea Party Nation Corporation of Franklin, Tenn., alleging the group owes $642,144 for canceling a conservative conclave last year.

The event, which had been scheduled for July 14-18, 2010, was first postponed until October and ultimately canceled.

The Daily Caller reported at the time there was a lack of people willing to pay $399 for a weekend pass or $125 per day to hear speakers such as conservative commentator Laura Ingraham or politician Sharron Angle, who at the time was in the midst of a failed campaign to oust Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Las Vegas.

    Have they contacted The Quitter?  I’m sure she would have those funds transferred to the hote and the Teabagger’s would be safe to strike again – with TheQuitter leading the march.

    Not surprised, considering that they don’t want our nation to pay our bills either by raising the debt ceiling.  These are the same idiots that overpaid and took interest only loans and are now not paying their personal bills.  I see a pattern here!
