Who killed at CPAC, the GOP's red meat 2016 auditions?
LA Times ^ | February 29, 2015 | Doyle McManus

Posted on 03/01/2015 2:44:26 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

"...What was missing from CPAC? Any sign of the intellectual ferment in conservative think tanks about how to address the stagnant incomes of the American middle class. Most speakers stuck to more traditional fare: smaller government, lower taxes, less regulation. There are new ideas in the Republican Party, but this, it seems, was neither the time nor the place..."

Try to wrap your brain around that "logic!"

McManus takes the truth and turns it on its head.

Big Government, high taxes and the pipeline of burdensome government regulations are exactly what is killing the economy and destroying jobs.

I can’t say who “killed” regarding possible presidential candidates. But the speech that for me had the most impact and depressed me to no end was Brent Bozell’s. It was a litany of how Christians and conservatives have been, and are being, persecuted by the left. After about 25 specific instances I just wanted him to stop; it was an assault on a person’s senses.

I highly doubt he even attended CPAC and I suspect he watched on CSPAN! The MSM is upset at the fact that they could not paint this CPAC as a gathering of Angry Old White Men as the youth and energy was on display.

The MSM thought Jeb Bush was going to walk in, be crowded King of CPAC and walk out.....#epicfail!

That looks more like the Slave Party we have come to so despise. If they can’t maintain a proletariat sufficient to take control, import one.

I have to laugh each time I watch this 3 minute video of Julie's call to a liberal radio show - she can't understand how Walker got started in WI and why there are "STAND WITH WALKER" signs on lawns in poor neighborhoods. And some other "info" from the host....

Caller: How Scott Walker Made it in Wisconsin... [don't read the rolling dialogue captions they're screwed up - just listen]

Obama's colluding w/ The Third World to establish a country within a country...
Americans slapped him down at 2014 midterms...he is seething w/ anger;
the Commie creep knows he can no longer control "the proletariat"......

"These Third World presidents, here with me in the WH today, agreed to send me
millions of new Democrat voters. In exchange, Valerie will wire-transfer $35,000 per
illegal from the IRS to Central American treasuries. Endless foreign aid follows. "

His teeth are remarkably straight for all the pillow biting he’s done.

‘Red meat?’ Why do people employ the worst sort of cliches and expect praise for doing so? The GOP platform has, for better or worse, changed dramatically. Exactly what has changed in the Dem platform, except to add another car of wackos to an already-extensive train?

The dirty little secret is that leftists envy - and despise - anyone with principles since they lack same. This also explains Jeb Bush’s sudden - but finite - praise by the MSM.

why would the left be unhappy anyway with CPAC? Their guy bussed in more voters from colleges than anyone else and he has no problem with the lib agenda, pro amnesty, pro homosexual , pro drugs, weaker military.
Libs should be happy their guy got his voters in and had won.

Ah, but he has a pen, executive actions and obviously something on Roberts to throw the Supremes. We shall see how far he can go on that.

good point.

A bunch of kids who are socially liberal and communist being told to turn up for one day to make their vote and Paul actually thinks now he is a republican or conservative and he is the man.
