(CNN) -- As the Tea Party's first national convention gets under way, members are united in their anger but divided over the future of the movement.

The convention is marketed as an opportunity to bring Tea Party leaders from across the country together to network and support the movement's goals. But some see the high-ticket convention, organized by a for-profit organization, as contradictory to the group's bottom-up, grass-roots beginnings.

1. We knew this all along...

"The Tea Party Express, a conservative bus tour that crisscrossed the country last year, was run from inside a Republican political consulting firm."

GOP suicide, it was. Idiots. One of the best things to happen to the Democratic Party in decades!

Note the organization's name is never mentioned... would be interesting... I'm still betting they are backed by health insurance companies.

4. Here is the firm, from a TPM article:

Sacramento-based GOP political consulting firm Russo, Marsh, and Associates

Happy hunting re: insurance co. links.

2. I had CNN on for a minute or two, it looks like CNN is pushing the teabagger movement,

talking it up, the Fox would.

3. No point in disturbing them.

As Napoleon once said, when your enemy is busy destroying himself, it's impolite to interrupt.

5. Exactly!

I support the TeaBagger Movement, and the Birthers too! Anything I can do to further splinter the GOP I consider God's work;)
