Eh...some Freepers are not being too discriminating in their denouncements.
I have issues with people like Keene. To go from that point to suggesting it’s a conference entirely composed of “RINO’s” is a bit ridiculous. There are some people attending I have no issues with. I just will not support an event Keene and current leadership is responsible for.
In Sarah’s case she has a valid reason not to attend aside from the questionable practices of CPAC leadership these days. Keene has taken shots at her time and again (on behalf of Mitt). Loss for her? No, loss for him. As you say, she’d bring the house down. Outside of Rush who can do that in conservative circles? Glenn’s fine but not in the same league as her.
I won’t denounce people like Rubio who attend though. There are conservatives there and he can use the high profile slot.
I'm not a big fan of Keene, either, but until CPAC morphs into a full-blown RINOFest, I plan to be there. My husband and I and our conservative friends have enjoyed CPAC since 2003 immensely.
