Thanks for the lecture.

I was quite disappointed that CSPAN didnt carry the CPAC conference, at least when I checked.

Also on the straw poll “Romney won” isn’t the whole story.

“Romney took 20 percent of the vote, followed by Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal with 14 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul with 13 percent, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin with 13 percent, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with 10 percent and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee with 7 percent.”

[Think for a bit about how quickly the public perception of pop culture figures like Britney Spears or Mickey Rourke change.]

...and who promoted the public perception? It was the same source that has denigrated Conservatives, the media will do their work to identify the favorite in the Conservative and systematically destroy them.

The public won’t be given the chance to forget, it will be a relentless attack to keep that person’s image as negative as possible for as long as it takes.

We were in one of the other side room watching RUSH @ CPAC
during his 90 minute grand slam out of the park speech!
The rooms were going NUTS people couldn’t get enough.

“currently, he’s one in a million,”

More like one in three hundred million ;)

As much as I liked Sarah Palin, she's damaged goods in the minds of the majority of the electorate because of McCain blowing the election and because of Tina Fey on SNL.

It's time to find someone else, someone who's never been part of the GOP establishment. Someone who's not a politician.

[skinkinthegrass]

What has happened to CPAC? Conservatives used to be more discerning.

true...and yet, didn't he (Romney) spent 42+ million, during the last election cycle...maybe he paid / furnished tickets to this mtg. and all they had to do is vote on this straw poll, This was a very cheap victory.

Let's not worry about straw polls at this time. History has proven they mean nothing. let's concentrate on 2010 elections. I think that the person that will lead us in 2012 has not appeared on the scene as a player yet (sorry Sarah Pallin). This country is not even going to look the same by then. Our conservative leader we need can have no compromise with liberal positions. Listen to what Rush said

[Leisler]

Was so stupid he was the only Republican against Reagan, after Reagans successes.
Bailout useless Olympics for hack real estate mob in Utah. Was for the Detroit bailout, before anyone.
Was the father of Massachusetts socialist medical care.

Yeah. He’ll be helpful.

[NoLibZone]

RUSH as does ANN and Hannity preache to the choir.

Had he and the others spoken out a tad about BUSH- they have reached outside the choir.

[BfloGuy]

After Obama the nay sayers may not mind a Romney

A very inspiring campaign slogan, indeed. Still doesn't convince this naysayer, though.

[mtnwmn]

Guess you can vote for someone else. Obama?

[Huck]

I sure hope it isn’t Palin. At this point, I like Newt the best.

[Huck]

Rush’s speech was pretty good. But Newt’s was better.

[lakey]

I just got through re-watching Rush on C-Span - mountain time. Newt is on now - talking about 2010 election.

We can't wait for another election. Have to begin speaking out, again. Even though I'm a nobody, politicians used to reply.

[Blue Highway]

Romney is a friggin RINO. Have we learned anything?

[fish hawk]

I re-watched Rush on C span and then Newt came on and was very good too. Great day for Conservatives.

[Blue Highway]

Idiocracy is a great movie. The movie seemed incredulous in how bad things were in the future 2505, but the parallels from that movie and our currect president is eerily similar. I’m waiting for Obama to have the Department of Agriculture to start using Brawndo to water crops with, because it’s got electrolytes!

[Force of Truth]

Romney is a friggin RINO. Have we learned anything?

I sure hope so. Get behind one and vote. It doesn't matter at this point. Obama needs to go.
