The UKIP leader will share a stage with high-profile US conservatives including Sarah Palin and NRA gun lobbyists.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage is expected to get a celebrity reception in Washington when he addresses America's most high-profile right-wing conference this week.

Sarah Palin, Rand Paul, Jeb Bush and the National Rifle Association (NRA) gun lobby will be sharing a stage with the British politician after he was invited to address the Conservative Political Action Committee in the US capital.

Bush??? What the hell is he doing there? This is going to get mixed revues. I wonder how the conservatives will handle Farage?

We are so disorganized and disunited that we need to start from scratch. I hope UKIP sweeps all the other parties out the window.
In the States, we think America is ready for a Republican but I do not see anybody along the character of Nigel Farage in our ranks.

CPAC is organized by the beltway crowd that calls itself “conservative” and uses good conservative speakers to draw in a grassroots crowd to hear the RINO’s pretend to be conservative with their speeches.

Its sort of like Fox News Channel in a big room.

Nigel sez, UK out of the EU.

Nigel sez, Scotland don’t go!

A million or more Scottish voters will vote against UK exit from the EU.
