Is CD acting conservative of just stalking Ann Coulter again? :)

[AmericanInTokyo]

The President gets mixed marks, IMHO. Please tell us if Runaway Federal Spending/Nanny State and Illegal Alien Amnesty were among the issues to come up and if strong stands were taken on these issues.

[RandallFlagg]

Any chance that it'll be on CSPAN?

[humblegunner]

[alwaysconservative]

You lucky dogs! I got to attend a Cheney speech in 2002, and it was one of the highlights of my political groupie career. What a smart and funny man!

[Libertina]

[TheBigB]

Isn't Nick Danger there too? Wish I could be. :(

[b4its2late]

Thanks for the report.

[Bigun]

DANG! Last year I SWORE that I would be there this year and I am NOT Darn it!

I'm going to TRY my best not to let that happen again!

Tell Taxman and Dixie ,as well as all the other FReepers there, hello for me and PLEASE don't miss the panel on tax reform tomorrow with Tom Wright!

[Rabid Dog]

Checking in with a live report. This place is crazy! Thousands of people - all wearing conservative buttons, Bush-Cheney stickers, lots of red - it is a beautiful thing!

Cheney goes on in an hour - hundreds of people are all ready lined up to get in. The really great news is a lot of them are college kids and boy are they excited. We were cleared out of the lecture hall at 12:00 so that the security team could do what ever they need to do for the next two hours. All but one elevator has been shut down as well.

Sat next to a guy that went to the first CPAC - said it was about 400 people and no elected official wanted to participate (too chicken). Now there are 4,000 and elected officials are proud to be part of the program.

There are more sponsors this year than ever before. We even have the ominous presence of the ACLU. Lots of TV cameras, reporters from the Washington Times, etc.

Reporters were asking questions about how conservatives feel about the spending that is going on - I think this is going to be the hot button against Bush. Haven't heard anything yet on immigration.

More later.....

This is hellinahandcart posting under Libertina's name. Doc, be sure to bring more of the CBS buttons if you got 'em.

Someone whose identity would surprise you desperately wants one. LOL
