Dont Fall For The Results Of The CPAC Straw Poll (Left Co-opted To Make Us Look Like Them)
feb 21 2010 | TJ

Posted on 02/21/2010 6:52:51 AM PST by Three if by government

All I am hearing now from this wonderful conference at CPAC where many patriots came out and spoke to the heart of how we can work together to stop the Obama agenda are the results of this straw poll.

These people dont represent a bunch of kooks like the left and to see that a man like Ron Paul win a poll that represented this event is all a bunch of nonsnese (results were booed) that is intended to undermine us.

I dont know how they came up with the numbers but my gut tells me that the left co opted this poll now is all over the media with it.

Listening to WABC radio and AP news they announced a new leader coming out of CPAC out of all things why would they be so enthusiastic about announcing a worthless poll?

I am sorry folks dont buy into this crap the American people who want change in November arent looking for a kook like Ron Paul and his people to lead it.

Trust me and your instincts the left will do anything to throw us off our game and in this case the straw poll was the first target. How else to split us apart than to push these results?

Now they can go around and tag all us a bunch of loons especially when it comes to Paul's outrageous comments on foreign policy and his attacks on the CIA and FBI.

The gay conservative incident was another example of the left sending people out to undermine our traditional values. We accept all people but not the extent that we need to change the laws of our religion and principle of our party.

Stay resolute keep your eye on the prize and dont fall for this goal to discourage us from making real change come November.

If they can get this man in office they can rig and influence a straw poll or send some people out to disrupt our convention that is made to make us look like something we are not.

You won a trip on the Star Ship Enterprise with the rest the other tin hatters.
He won nothing my point being they are using loons like Paul to undermine the massive wave of opposition to this current administration which will come to a head this November.

This year’s CPAC shows what happens when the “big tent” becomes too big. But, far better for Ron Paul to have won the straw poll that Mitt Romney, whom the “GOP insiders” are ready to annoint as the 2012 candidate.

You are correct about David Keane. He could sell his mother’s soul to the devil and not lose a moment’s sleep. The national Tea Party convention and CPAC were an interesting study in contrasts. Sarah Palin gave the Tea Partiers the star power and national recognition they needed.

“You are correct about David Keane. He could sell his mother’s soul to the devil and not lose a moment’s sleep. “

You’re right about Keene, and he had a lot of help from Grover Norquist to make sure the CPAC crowd was moved toward amnesty.

This CPAC meeting was a pro rino, squishy middle fest.

CPAC betrays America on immigration

[snip]The best example of how CPAC 2010 has failed the conservative movement is CPAC’s attempt to redefine (sabotage would be a more accurate term) the potent issues of illegal immigration and border security. Whereas grass-roots conservatives and millions of 912 patriots – along with 80 percent of the American people – understand the need for border security as a precondition for immigration reform, CPAC board member Grover Norquist is busy launching a new project in support of the Obama administration’s plan to grant another amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens. Neither border control nor immigration enforcement was included as a topic for any of the CPAC general sessions.

Who cares about his rating if I remember correctly Mccain had a very high one.
Even if it was 100% anyone that comes out and blames America for all her problems abroad is an anti America especially when you lost love ones in the slaughter of 3000 Americans.

The day of supporting leaders of this nation that will go overseas and apologize for us and rationalizes such horrific events as something secondary is over my friend.

Americanism is on the rise; American bashing is on the decent.

This straw poll diminished my opinion of CPAC. Ron Paul’s win taught me that CPAC is easily hijacked by an extremely small, extremely vocal group. I don’t think the Paulinistas needed any help from liberals on the outside.

Rules for radicals says instead of sending people out to denounce your opponents candidate send people out in support that undermines their ideals.
Hence the gays and Ron Paul issues.

California cant even pass gay legislation in the most left state in the nation. We are to believe that we are the minority just as Beck said while 75% of people are opposed to this legislation. Now we are to feel that conservatives are moving towards the side of gay rights when the liberal reject cmon you know it was a plant.

Judging from the results, I take it that McCain, Collins, Snowe and Graham weren’t in the running.

The only outcome that would have been more ridiculous than Ron Paul would have been Romney for the fourth straight year. As it was, he handily won second place. That convinces me CPAC (and RNC) isn’t planning on any retool of political strategy, and they’re counting on Dems to blow it.

I see what you’re talking about with the Alinsky reference, but it’s entirely possible the CPAC convention picked a kook all on their own.

There were probably a half-dozen or so names on the poll ballot. The conservatives had lots of fun and each voted for their favorite candidate de jour......while the Paulistas held the line for their one man. That's the sum and substance of the result. The conservative lambs were snookered because they are so trusting.

FR conservatives should just ignore future CPAC conventions. No loss. The organizers have become RINO-diverse.....and I think have sealed their own fate.

As Beck said in his speech....."the BIG TENT???? What are we, a CIRCUS?"

Strategically this is a stupid move on their part. Better to have your enemy in one place so that you can be targeted. Now they just drive us more underground and less visible...till we show at the ballot box.
