Reliving The American Nightmare Rally

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2012/04/reliving-american-nightmare-rally.html

Over the weekend, Waukesha County was ground zero for what the media portrayed as just a good old-fashioned conservative shindig hosted by a group called the Wisconsin Faith & Freedom Coalition.

They was actually two events.

On Friday night, the group hosted what they called "Reviving The American Dream" which had guests such as former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, Faith and Freedom Coalition founder Ralph Reed, Tonette Walker and Lt. Governor Becky Kleefisch.

On Saturday, they held a really for the GOP primary candidates. This jubilee was attended by Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Many other people - including Scott Walker, Ron Johnson, J.B. Van Hollen, Sean Duffy, Jim Sensenbrenner, Tom Petri and Reid Ribble - had been invited but it is unclear by any of the news reports if they showed.

The odd thing was no one knew what this Faith & Freedom Coalition was.
