“Liberty University Law School has withdrawn as a co-sponsor of next month’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington because a Republican homosexual activist group is being allowed to co-sponsor the event. -—snip—— Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin recently rejected an invitation from David Keene to speak at CPAC. According to a source close to Palin, the event is a forum that will put “special interests over core beliefs” and “pocketbook over policy.”

I'd love to know who this "source close to Palin" is, and how many times she/he has actually attended CPAC over the years since Ronald Reagan first spoke at CPAC in 1974. I get a kick out of these people who have never (or rarely) attended CPAC who think they know what it's all about and what its "agenda" is.

CPAC 2010 Cosponsors

CPAC 2010 Exhibitors

Rush Limbaugh's CPAC 2009 speech

As I've said on other CPAC-bashing threads, I will report back after I go to CPAC next month if CPAC has indeed morphed into a "RINOfest". I highly doubt it will because of a couple of obscure cosponsors...

Your link indicates that both GOPROUD and John Birch Society are sponsors. A recent article indicates that the latter ahas been taken over by Romney-bots, I mean Mormons.

Palin his big on ethics, and the sponsors of CPAC did a bad thing with the Fed Express issue. I think she makes a mistake to skip the meeting, given that it is a big conservative gathering (whatever you think of the sponsors), but she is being principled and I certainly wouldn’t hold it against her.

I also won’t attack others for showing up and speaking to the conservatives. And if conservatives here dislike CPAC, they should put together a better conference for conservatives, because we NEED these gatherings.

And I’m not even a big fan of Glenn Beck. I just think it’s stupid for conservatives to shoot ourselves in the head over stuff like this.
