Keene and Norquist? No thanks. This seems like it will be a Beltway pubbie manifesto. I think any random 10 Tea Party participants could do a better job.

A bunch of once-wases sitting around masturbating.

Conservatives big daddy o’s waking up!

Is it about time or Johnny come latelies???

[9YearLurker]

So after Palin all the establishment players are rushing to display their tea party cred.

Yet last week Palin herself simply pointed out that the Republican Party platform is a fine manifesto—if tea partiers can help get Republicans back to following it.

She is truly ahead of everyone else in the game.

Now that there is a parade everyone thinks there is an opening to lead it.

>>> "The big names attached to it include former Attorney General Ed Meese, Heritage Foundation President Edwin Feulner, Family Research Council head Tony Perkins, Media Research Center leader Brent Bozell, Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist and David Keene, head of the American Conservative Union, which is putting on CPAC, among others" <<<

Noblesse oblige...we can’t let the riff-raff run this show or they will mess it up for us.
I have faith in the common man to do a better job than the old guard of the Republican Party. It is time for a strong wind to clean out the cobwebs from the party.

[eeevil conservative]

conservatives don’t need a manifesto....

a Declaration of Independence, a US Constitution, and a moral compass are all we need.....(along with the ability to read)

Sounds like it's coming together- The leaders of the Mt. Vernon Statement are top of the line, plus it seems that there is some possibly great competition:

A coalition of tea party groups and activists will use CPAC to gather support for a guiding document of their own — coined “the Contract From America” — intended to bring together the fractious movement. Plus, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, one of the authors of the 1994 Contract With America — to which the name of the tea party document pays homage — has unveiled his plan for a “new Contract With America" on the pages of the February edition of the conservative Newsmax magazine.

Ping.. thanks for driving...

[Reagan Man]

We've had a traditional mainstream conservative manifesto since the mid-1970`s. Its called, the Reagan agenda and its been incorporated in the GOP party platform.

Stick to a pro-Constitution, pro-capitalism, pro-freedom and pro-America agenda -— less taxes, less spending, less government, pro-military, Pro-Life and anti-amnesty!

[Maelstorm]

I see a bunch of not so conservative conservatives on this list. Buckley Jr is an idiot Obama lover why in the hell is he, an example of the low end of his father’s gene pool, a part of this group?

[EternalVigilance]

Why should I believe a bunch of pretty words from a bunch of Beltway bandits? They’ve already proven that they won’t even follow the simple words of our founding documents.

[stockpirate]

We do not require any input from the progressive republicans. Let the Tea Party set the guidelines and these bozo’s need to stop trying to take it over.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Will Sarah be there?

[Reagan is King]

Fine, put down some ideas on paper then let some real Conservatives such as Palin, Levin, Hannity, Rush, and Coulter edit the final document and I may support it.

Anything that beltway bunch listed in the article comes up with is automatically suspect.

[a fool in paradise]

Just hand out copies of the Constitution.

[myself6]

The leftists in the media and the democrat party are desperate to revitalize the leftists in the republican party. Expect a newpush to try and give the “Grand Old Progressives” some kind of relevance in the conservative movement.

Its time to retire these fossils.
