Bump.
Interesting article. A couple of strong egos clashing.
ACU & CPAC More RINOs. The corruption is worse than I thought.
Might want to ((PING)) the Palin list on this one...
Thank you for posting this. Last Fall I had a discussion similar to this about Keene is only conservative when the conservative candidate comes up with the bucks. Just like was pointed out to me on here about how Keene’s conservative ratings don’t always makes sense.
This article made my day and I agree with Ziegler 100% about Keene and his organization. He is one of the inside the beltway Conservatives that forgot where he came from years ago and is more then willing to sell out for the big bucks of say someone like Romney.
We need to clean house and not support the groups that are in it to make boatloads of money to give to people like Arlen Specter who I am so happy is now a Democrat.
Thanks again — you made my morning!
“I have spoken at the last three CPACs and it always seemed pretty obvious to me that the vast majority of speaking slots and agenda items were determined by factors that had nothing to do with relevance, talent, worthiness, or benefit to the movement. Instead it was clear that personal relationships and donations/sponsorships ruled the day.”
The Republicans have sold their soul too. Too much money chasing to few politicians(”WHOREFLATION”)
Having seen the videos, I wanted to hit Ziegler.
Whether Keene is, or is not, selling himself or CPAC can be looked at, but not by behaving like a clown.
The only thing Ziegler accomplished was to destroy his credibility forever.
Thank you!
Seems to me this is just a catfight between a supporter and non-supporter of Palin’s.
find later
CPAC morphed into RPAC
This entire episode has greatly furthered my already strongly held belief that the vast majority of the conservative “movement” is “led” by fakes, flakes, freaks, frauds, phonies and sell outs who are far more interested in protecting their own little thiefdoms than promoting the cause. That may not surprise veterans of the political process and human nature, but I would still like to believe that the principles of freedom, liberty, limited government, national security and the constitution deserve much better than that.
There are many reasons why conservatism finds itself clinging to a quickly dying minority in America, and this issue is right at the top of the list. If I have given up my career in the movement to spark a change, it will be well worth it. Regardless, I know that, while I am hardly perfect, I have fought a just fight and always did what I thought was right.

Yes! And THIS IS WHY John Ziegler inspires the rest of us Freedom Fighters!!
Guts. Guts. And more Guts!!!
AMERICAN all the way!!!
Obama is pleased with our interparty squables. Clearly conservatives are suffering a delusion that there is strength in exclusivity. Perhaps others are not watching the frightening rat assault on conservative/balance media. and the exultation of all things liberal and evil. I swear some Freepers would purge the GOP until only they and Palin remained. Didn’t like McCain, fool? Choke on 0, Pelosi, and Reid. We have an oportunity to stop the rats if we stop pushing away our allies in the GOP.
