Ideas & Agenda for the GOP Party Today

All four remaining GOP presidential candidates attend the 2008 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Sen. John McCain (AZ), Rep. Ron Paul (TX), and Fmr. Gov. Mitt Romney (MA) address and seek conservative support at nation's largest annual gathering. Fmr. Gov. Mike Huckabee (AR) speaks at CPAC on Saturday

They’re booing Allen?

[sageb1]

Boos outdoing yeas I think. Coburn up.

[truthkeeper]

Quick, switch to MSNBC. They’re carrying Coburn’s speech.

[khnyny]

The schedule if off and McCain’s speech is delayed...

Perhaps McCain’s sedatives haven’t taken effect yet.

[SE Mom]

I feel sick.

I honestly never thought I’d see Tom Coburn and Ted Olson go down this path.

[GOPyouth]

Allen was leading up to McCain, building him up, and said he was going to be our next president. That’s when the booeing started. So I’m guessing it was for McCain.

[sageb1]

No, Allen mentioned McCain’s name.

Islamic extremist fascism....arrgghhh...thrice redundant.

[sand88]

Allen said McCain is strongly pro tax-cut.

I guess the old adage is true, lying comes natural to politicians. I am sickened by the weak men who are leaders in the GOP.

[mewzilla]

look at all of the mccain sighn holders they just marched into the hall. disgraceful!!!!

LOL. Shades of Hillary. A rent-a-mob. You know Hillie and McCain have a lot in common. Including their pathological dislike of being dissed.

[Miss Didi]

I think it’s off now that McCain’s the nominee. Rush mentioned him as a VP possibility. As if we’re not upset enough...

[wilco200]

BARF ALERT

BARF ALERT

tick Coburn off the list of conservatvies

Talk about mccain talking points...iraq, earmarks, iraq earmarks.

WHAT ABOUT THE BORDER, FREE SPEECH, TAX CUTS?????

[KansasGirl]

Boos to what? Endorsement of McCain?

[dawn53]

That’s weird, I’m just reading not watching, but I think I read that Rush said Allen would introduce McCain. Wonder why he didn’t speak right after Allen?

[WalterSkinner]

..it's a sad day for me--Allen and Coburn both going up in flames before my eyes...

Madness!

[GOPyouth]

He introduced the introdocer. heh heh

[Tennessee Nana]

One after another the GOP leaders are inging McCains praises...

Its politics as usual...

if this was planned all along...it has to be because of the WOT

We dont know what is going on there ...but maybe they think McCain would be the best...

Now if Duncan Hunter is the VP we’ll have a winning WOT team and Duncan is conservative in every area...

[truthkeeper]

Bless you for that streaming link. Now maybe I can hear something.

[SkyPilot]

According to Wikipedia, McCain's two nicknames in high school were:

"Punk"

and

"McNasty"

I honestly never thought I’d see Tom Coburn and Ted Olson go down this path.

As far as the latter is concerned, I'm grateful his late wife isn't around to see this.
