Top Conservatives On Twitter Closing Down?
Posted on April 30, 2009 at 9:47 amFrom the #TCOT Report:
I’m sorry to have to do this, but effective immediately, I am shutting down Top Conservatives on Twitter.
TCOT as a group and as a ranking system is the work of two people: Mike Leahy, and myself, and we have agreed from the beginning that it was an equal, 50-50 partnership and would be run as such. Unfortunately, over the past week, Mike has reneged on that agreement.
One week ago today, I sent Mike my thoughts on how TCOT should be run and how we should work together in the near future. This is particularly important, as due to his inability to work in a group decision-making environment, Mike was recently asked to leave the leadership team of Tea Party Patriots, a group that I remain a part of, and I felt it very important to reach clear and mutual agreement on how TCOT should operate. Mike responded that my plan sounded “reasonable”, but that he “may have a few tweaks on it”. Since then, I have asked him repeatedly to follow through and respond with his “tweaks” so that we could resolve any differences and go forward. He has refused to do so, citing other priorities and demands on his time. I asked one final time for his input yesterday, stressing the importance of the matter, but was again ignored.
At this point, I do not feel comfortable continuing to operate this site with a partner who deliberately refuses to communicate with me on fundamental issues, and it would be inappropriate for me to run it by myself given that our agreement was an equal partnership. I have never received a dime for my work on TCOT; Mike, on the other hand, has a paid contract with PJTV for his show “TCOT on PJTV”. I’ve never asked for a cut of Mike’s PJTV profits, but I have asked to simply understand what his agreement is with PJTV for the show that bears our group’s name — a request which Mike has also ignored.
Mike Leahy is a native of Williamson County.

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Can’t we all just get along, Mike? Oh, this is PRICELESS.
I followed the link and didn’t see anything about it closing down.
The red box in the center column that displayed the message from Rob Neppell was romoved about 10 am. I saw it this morning about 8:30, and checked back often to see how long it would stay up. My guess is Leahy removed it as soon as he saw it. I guess the truth hurts, huh Mike?
I don’t get Twitter. To me, it’s nothing more than an online diary for ADHD narcissists.
Wow, they sound like their joint venture for the next iPod killer went sour or something.
I had no idea people take twitter so seriously. Must be some serious business to get so many noses out of joint.
Actually there’s 4,948 people that they claim are following them a number which they say is growing. Twitter is not just myspace for the ADHD set, it’s a handy way to transfer information and a monster communication tool. Imagine being able to send 4,948 people a message simultaneously, no waiting.
I’m with George on this one.
Since Leahy pulled the message off of tcotreport.com, it’s been put up at http://kithbridge.com/tcot/ . Go check it out…
[...] an open secret among teabaggers and elsewhere that Leahy is a delusional, profiteering creep and, potentially, a member of some alien race of Lizard People here to feed on the human [...]
