Mitt Romney (MA) address and seek conservative support at nation's largest annual gathering. Fmr. Gov. Mike Huckabee (AR) speaks at CPAC on Saturday

[GOPyouth]

Getting booed on issue of illegal immigration. Then the rest of the crowd jumped in and cheered his support of amnesty.

[SE Mom]

SERIOUSLY?? #$%^!!!

[ncpatriot]

Romney’s applause was loud and enthusiastic.

[SkyPilot]

What McCain wants everyone to see and hear:

Gov Romney and Gov Huckabee are fine and upstanding men - and I ask them to join me on the Conservative crusade for Conservative principles that we all share. Much unites us, and today I ask you for your support."

What he really means and feels.........

And another thing! You f_king a$$holes better listen up and shape up! I ain't taking any more f__king crap about illegals anymore! If I wanna give them f__king Amnesty - I sure as S^it will!!!! GOT THAT! And don't you Ba$tards get me started on abortion again! Sheesh! What is it with you d_ckheads!?? In love with a zygote and sperm or something!??

[Tennessee Nana]

Yes but the illegal aliens, John ????

[khnyny]

You just noticed he’s a liar?

[Polyxene]

“I’ve been trying to watch this on c-span.com but it just isn’t working.”

Same here — maybe it’s for the best. My blood pressure just couldn’t take it!

[truthkeeper]

"On the subject of illegal immigration..."

BOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

[HonestConservative]

Yes he is.

[CounterCounterCulture]

“On the topic of illegal immigration...” (resounding boos... now the McCaniacs are trying to drown them out)

[mewzilla]

Yep. I wonder if he’ll tell everyone to calm down.

Or to put some ice on it.

[sageb1]

Brings up his support of the surge.

I have held positions that you won’t let me forget about

illegal immigration (many boos...now many cheers)

stood my ground...respect your opposition...

I pledge to secure borders first...the address other aspects in a way that respects the rule of law

[txhurl]

And he just LIED about securing the border!

Weasel.

[CedarDave]

Loud boos when he mentioned immigration. Rent-a-mob cheers to out shout them.

[wilco200]

“On the subject of illegal immigration...”
BOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

tyhen the rent-a-mob came in and shut down the boos.

mccain winks at his”friends”

[Tennessee Nana]

Yes I heard that

Lots of his AMNESTY supporters there

[11th_VA]

push the listen button - you can get the audio

[GOPyouth]

McCain said we’ll secure the border first......then deal with everything else. i.e., he’ll support amnesty.

[rintense]

Yeah, like I’m going to believe he’s going to enforce the border first. BTW, if the phrase ‘my friend’ is the drinking game, I’d be drunk already at work.
