"Convention of States" -- Looks like another Koch Brothers effort -- TeaParty 2.0

[nichomachus]

It's positioning itself as kind of an upscale Tea Party, but the guy next to me in the supermarket parking lot who had quotes and sayings from this group painted all over his SUV was definitely cut from the same bolt of cloth as other Teabaggers we've come to love and ridicule.

The goal of this group - if you have the stomach to plow through their site -- is exactly what the Koches want. No effective government, no regulations on corporations, no civil rights, you name it.

1. States rights I take it?

That's often used to justify a race to the bottom in terms of those issues.

2. Yeah

One of the proposals is that the federal government can't spend any money on things that states could do for themselves.

3. Looks to be a nice, fat waste of Koch money and wingnut energy.

I approve.
