Thank you, ziravan. Wish I could have attended. I would have voted for Cruz also.

[stilloftyhenight]

The Pauls always bus in loads of supporters. That is how they always win the poll.

Palin did endorse Romney. Google it and you’ll find it

[stilloftyhenight]

Breitbart also had a live feed.

Oops sorry. Should’ve finished reading the thread before posting to it

Thanks for the after action report.

I watched many of the speeches on C-Span.

Loved Cruz, Walker,Bolton and Levin. Very powerful speeches. Especially Levin’s speech—a real gold mine. “Usurpations” is a great word.

I enjoyed Phil Robertson too—it is so refreshing to hear straight talk instead of the mumbo jumbo from politicians.

Bolton eviscerated Hillary; he surprised me by being a much more engaging speaker in this format that I would have imagined.

Have a safe trip back home today. We appreciate you taking the time to give us a first hand scoop.

2012 was an election that republicans could not lose, we were on the verge of a depression and Jimmy Carter’s second term was the decision, yet the GOP worked to find the one man who could not win, Mitt Romney.

You'd almost think the GOPe did that on purpose...

[DoodleDawg]

... as did Ann Coulter NOT being invited to speak at CPAC ...

Romney isn't running so why bother?

[Bigg Red]

Thanks for the report.

[Dusty Road]

ping for later

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

love it

[Beagle8U]

Great report, to the point and logical.

Someone else and I both yelled, “FreeRepublic!” at the same time.

Did Cruz seem to hear or acknowledge that or any other audience members understand what y’all yelled? Good on ya!

[ziravan]

He heard. He paused and kept going. I don’t fault a candidate for staying on message.

I will say that he gave large chunks of the same speech to both the Big Govt Sucks rally and the Meet/Greet. There was a lot of overlap in those audiences (this was after his speech from the podium, which was different).

If I have a minor critique, it would be not to give the same stump speech to an overlapping audience. But then, he’d of had to give three distinct speeches in same day. I’ll cut some slack on that.

The old voters were the most anti-Obama voters, why are they being mocked?

We're not mocking all older voters. I think what you say is generally true, but there are lots of older folks out there who are tidally locked into liberal groupthink.

I personally don't understand how anyone can survive past middle age and not wake up to what the Dem/left really is, but it's a fact. Some folks are just that unaware.

[ansel12]

The facts of voting by age are well known, the elderly are the most anti-Obama voters and the young are the most pro-Obama.

We will never see the under 30 voting again that we saw for Nixon and others, the young today are a large liberal voting block.

[Windflier]

The facts of voting by age are well known, the elderly are the most anti-Obama voters and the young are the most pro-Obama.

I know that. We were merely discussing the fact that there are some older voters who are still voting Democrat.

It's especially disconcerting when two of those ignorant elders are your own parents.
