CPAC @CPAC
Very disappointed @realDonaldTrump has decided at the last minute to drop out of #CPAC -- his choice sends a clear message to conservatives.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
what the hell are you on about. where did I mention Trump? I never get a grip I was on about CPAC and how it has changed.
You are letting your passion for your boy get in the way of being reasonable
I did forget he had rallies scheduled, when I thought about it, I looked at my notes and yep that’s why he’s not going...
I’m glad he’s not going really, that man has everyone and their dogs being thrown at him, I think rallies are good for him to be with his ‘American Families’!!! LOLOL....
Rush Limbaugh just said he was asked to be the closing speaker at CPAC but turned them down. Looks like Beck was the #2 choice...
I agree with what you said in your posting before this comment of which I have a question.
What if HilLiary is indicted and Joe Biden steps in. Would you still vote for Trump over Biden?
Rush Limbaugh declined when asked. Not accepted then declined. He did not back out.

No. Here's why:
Do you think CPAC is all-powerful? I don’t. They did not control events the last 12 years.
What is the definition of conservative these days? Anything Trump says? Anything you say? No thanks.
People are “swarming” to Trump because he’s the only candidate not in the politician-donor complex. And that’s also why he’s going to be the next POTUS.
Good!
It’s just another RNC/NRSC/NRCC/GOP/ACU/Norquist/Cardenas Muslim/Amnesty love fest trap where they can preach their lies against Trump.
NOTHING about the organizers of CPAC is on our side, or even conservative. Don’t you remember 2 years ago when CPAC banned Spencer and others because they refused to NOT condemn radical Islam?? CPaC organizers even hijacked their own TEA PARTY label to push their free traitor/cheap imported labor agendas.
We should be known as ‘BITTER ENDERS’...which is what Norquist called all of us who opposed his gang of 8 amnesty.
Bitter Enders Unite

Pam Geller & Robert Spencer take on CPAC’s banning of conservatives http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2013/03/pam-geller-robert-spencer-take-on-cpacs.html
Are you on Trump’s campaign payroll, or just a volunteer organizer?
You may be on to something there. But those are your words, not Trump’s. Do you know if he has made a statement as to why he is not attending CPAC?
Other than a small handful, CPAC has become a GOPe operation for quite some time. Isn’t that where the Mittster claimed he was “severely conservative?”
Exactly. Unfortunately, it’s pretty clear CPAC is now mostly donor-chattering classes and their sycophants. I’m sure there are some good folks there but they are far, far outnumbered by the folks who hate Trump because he is blowing up there scam. I in this hyper charged environment it was a no win for him to speak there.
CPAC is always a mix of everything from near-democRAT RINOs to true Conservatives. My husband and I attended CPAC for ten consecutive years between 2002-2012.
I was happy to see Mercedes Schlapp, co-chair / wife of CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp, slam Romney last night on "Hannity". ;-D
CPAC is running live on C-SPAN now for whoever is interested...
“How do you define “conservative”? $20 trillion in debt? open borders? Nafta, WTO, TPP? Destruction of industry and manufacturing— JOBS? Mitt Romney? Boehner? McConnell, Paul Rino? Haley Barbour? Where was CPAC during the last 12 years?”
Scamming $ from all of us while they push exactly what you stated.

Norquist is nothing but a muzzie loving Open Borders pimp.
No thanks!!
Great move, by Trump.
There was a time here on FR where it did when CPAC had the people they really liked speaking. A lot of those people now are ones FR has turned their backs on.
“Jenny Beth Martin of the Tea Party trashed Trump and endorsed Cruz.
Is that what is done at CPAC—endorse candidates?
I thought it was to promote conservative values, not to trash others in the same fight as you.
Trump needs that like a whole in the head.
Besides the people who run CPAC cannot run an event on time to save their lives.”
Jenny Beth Martin/TPP is a LOBBYIST who is pulling down $400,000 a year to pretend she is conservative. TEA PARTY PATRIOTS is bought and paid for and they pay for BECK/LEvin along with Freedom works, etc.
EVeryone MUST wise up to the fact that the Tea Party label has been stolen to USE YOU and pad a bunch of K St. Lobbyists pockets.
CPAC IS NOT CONSERVATIVE. The people who run it are the PROBLEM!
They were going to instruct the crowd to boo him anyways. It’s a smart move for Trump to spend his precious time elsewhere.
Wow. That’s who’s attending CPAC, now days?
They’ve stooped that low, to bring in a cut out of Trump?
To make excuses for smarmy Cruz and his ‘breathe’ crap is as smarmy as he is. Trump was calm. It was the Cunadian who lost it and LIED AGAIN.
