CPAC 2010 was a joke. Between the GOProud/Log Cabin poofters and the Paulbot attendees, the fringe ruled. Ron Paul won the straw vote because 48% of the cpac voters were students. True conservatives either didn't vote or didn't attend at all. An attendee's description of the 'typical' Paul supporter:
Ron Paul supporters remind me of Basij militants in Iran. Ignorant, mentally challenged, thuggish & obsessive with their cult leader.
Or, maybe just young and naive.
Horse hockey rationalization and sour grapes. Read it and weep.
