In reply to the discussion: Thousands shut down Chicago streets at ALEC meeting [View all]bluestate10
(10,942 posts)57. Why do conservative organizations insist on having their meetings and conferences in blue cities?
Why don't they go to red state cities that they have made hell holes to meet? They can view and appreciate their handy work. There is going to be a big conservative convention in Boston in August, likely in taxpayer funded facilities. Miscreants like Beck will be there. Why do they pollute beautiful, world class blue cities?
