Ron Paul has pulled off a reapeat, winning the CPAC presidential straw poll once again with 30 percent of the vote.

Mitt Romney finished second with 23 percent ... Newt Gingrich at 5 percent; Tim Pawlenty, Michelle Bachmann and Mitch Daniels at 4 percent, Sarah Palin at 3 percent, and everybody else at 2 percent or less.

Bachmann spoke at CPAC, Palin snubbed CPAC for a third straight year.

Any similarity between CPAC attendees (East Coast College Republicans) and the party rank and file if purely coincidental.

Obviously you have an agenda. Care to tell us who you support?

Did she hire Glassner or Eisenberg?

Looks like she hired Glassner.

Also, he has strong ties to the Jewish community, being one of the Republican Jewish Coalition’s vice chairs.

Ron Paul is against Roe v Wade.

Reread my post.

From the Loonatarian's own website:

"At the same time, Ron Paul believes that the ninth and tenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution do not grant the federal government any authority to legalize or ban abortion. Instead, it is up to the individual states to prohibit abortion."

It appears that Liz has a problem with Jews.

People like you who micro-analyze and criticize every move Sarah Palin makes but pay no attention what other potential nominees say and do are getting very tiresome.

Okay, if you think Ron Paul’s going to be the nominee next year and Sarah Palin’s going to come in ninth, you’re high. If you think Ron’s going to beat Mitt Romney (no matter where Mitt ends up in the standings), you’re higher than is physically healthy for you.

CPAC was overrun with the Paulnuts and the Gay Mafia.

Agree; same as last year and no improvemment. Next year, who knows? Islamic malcontents, perhaps.

I still don’t know what a Snooki is. lol.

I only know of her from waiting in line at the grocery store next to the tabloids. As far as her having siblings...things that crawl out from under rocks usually don't.

"If Ron 'I don’t see homosexuality as a sin/I voted to repeal DADT/abortion is a states rights issue”\' Paul won a CPAC straw poll..."

-----

Like you, I disagree with the first two positions (well, I think homosexality is an illness, but I quibble), but "abortion is a states rights issue" is a perfectly valid constitutional position.

In fact, were Roe V. Wade to be overturned, that's exactly what the stated of the law would be.

We have to consider that Eisenberg has raised millions of dollars for the Republican party.

Oh please.

PASTE THIS ON YOUR BATHROOM MIRROR AND MEMORIZE IT: Eisenberg’s "support" for Republicans is a front....

Eisenberg also writes checks to liberal Democrats like Walter Mondale, Dick Gephardt, Tim Wirth, Chris Dodd, Bruce Babbitt, Joe Biden, and others.

NOTE True Repubs DO NOT write checks to Democrats.

CPAC...just goes to show what $200k, a boatload of zombies and a whack-job leadership can do for you....nothing.

Sarah doesn’t need CPAC. Heck, a Sarah impersonator got more notice than Mitt Romney!!!! Even when the folks realized she was an imposter (and a darn good one), they STILL flocked to her. Hey Mittens, YOU GOT PAWNED AND PUNKED BY A PALIN IMPERSONATOR....GET A FRICKEN CLUE!!!!!

Get a clue CPAC, you’re going the way of the dial up modem.

Wrong!!! Glassner was not one of the ones trashing Sarah in 2008! that was Steve Sdmits, Nicole Wallace and a few others like them. Sarah said in her book that their were a few people she did trust in the campaign....she worked with him and obviously trust him

But how do you jump from a conspiracy theory to talking about the past campaign? make up your mind!! LOL!

Um, Palin didn’t attend. Again. Why? Because CPAC is really RINOPAC. So of course she lost their worthless straw poll.

Not even a good try, Paulbots and Mittbots...

Too bad people like you who engage in silencing conservative commentary are such resounding flops.

Liz gets unhinged when it comes to anyone with a -ner or -berg or -off at the end of their names.

You do realize that even first degree murder is left to the individual states to prosecute, right?

And that abortion laws have ALWAYS - until Roe v. Wade - been state matters?

Because it seems like you don't.
