But I don't know about you, because each people have different think

The problems with the National Tea Party Convention are many, but three stand out:
- It represents only one tea party group and most of the others, including organizers of the most successful tea party protests, smelled a rat and chose not to participate. The organizers seem like opportunists trying to cash in on the Tea Party phenomenon.

- It's being run purely for profit, by a corporation created for that purpose and pulling out all the stops to make money, from a huge price to attend to massive merchandising of high priced T-shirts and trinkets. It's more like a Star Trek convention than a political event, except that attendance is much lower and fewer people are in costume.

- It seems to have been taken over by one particular hardcore, right wing ideology, with Sarah Palin headlining and with many of the more mainstream conservative and libertarian speakers who were scheduled to attend canceling because they were uncomfortable with the environment.

The net result of this is a very limited scope to the convention and a very specialized audience. With a cost of $549 for full admission and the additional costs of travel and lodging, the young students and hard-working people who made up the crowds at authentic protests this past year mostly can't afford to attend.

Mainstream Republicans turned against the event and attempted to distance themselves, with Representatives Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) bowing out as guests on short notice because of concern over the corporate, for-profit status of the event and the backlash against it among the grassroots voters with whom they have become very popular for their outspoken criticism of the Obama administration.

Other legitimate grassroots groups involved in the Tea Parties are either ignoring the convention entirely like the Libertarian Party, American Liberty Alliance and Republican Liberty Caucus, or they are actively opposing the convention and even planning protests as the National Precinct Alliance declared it would do when it withdrew from participation. Even the Tea Party Express, which has itself been accused of selling out to corporate interests, dropped out of the convention a couple of weeks ago.
