The establishment twosome took 69% of the straw poll vote at CPAC.

Perhaps they remember Wm. F. Buckley’s rule.

Perhaps also they can spell.

To show that when it’s over Mitt will go home to the best looking consolation prize of those who threw their hats in the ring (Sarah having left Todd out of that contest.) Of course any of the spouses would be huge upgrades.

I thought there was 12,000 there ???

Perhaps not since CPAC became FUDGEPAC.

In the grand scheme of the universe, it’s not like CPAC matters to anyone other than a tiny core of political junkies.

Lester and Donna in their double-wide aren’t sitting glued to C-SPAN for hours watching speeches and the straw poll results to help determine who they are going to vote for in the primary.

Hence, this doesn’t matter, and Gingrich’s speech earlier doesn’t matter, or anything else from CPAC; I bet if you grabbed 100 people off the street anywhere in the country less than 5 of them could have told you CPAC was happening or even what CPAC was.

Just wondering, how many Mormon congregations are within a couple hours drive of Washington, D.C. . . .

Establishment marching orders regarding the poll dance no doubt.

That and the "students" Romney bused in.

Apparently not, since Santorum is doing better against Obama in national polls right now. Truth is, polls about what people will do in November don’t mean much now. But since those are the only things FOX and other RINO establishment types have been using to justify why Romney can beat Obama in the fall, what’s the argument now that the polls don’t favor Romney? That we should abandon conservatism in favor of Obama-lite policies on economics and unconvincing flip-flops on social issues that even Romney’s RINO supporters don’t believe, as they claim that they like him because his record shows he doesn’t really oppose things like gay marriage? They believe he opposes it about as much as Obama’s voters believed Obama did.

I agree. Milt does have the hottest wife. Mrs. Santorum is too soccer mom. Paul’s wife looks like she came over on the Mayflower and Newts wife just has that awful inside the beltway look with the rotten suits and pearls.

CPAC is a joke. Ron Paul won it last time. Nuff said.

CPAC lost all credibility when they had the homo-pushers.

So I can’t say I’m totally surprised.

“The problem I imagine is that CPAC leans to well-educated or well-off people, and women in that group are extremely unlikely to be social conservatives.”

We need to kick all the well educated or well off people out of the republican party.

Note I didn’t say “all” of them were voting that way. If you want to kick all the pro-choice and pro-gay marriage people out of the Republican party, then you might be on to something.

“Not Romney” is still getting more votes than “Romney.”

“How to counter this sham?!”

CPAC doesn’t represent America; the tea party and 2010 election results represent America.

We took over the US House and elected 700 patriots to state legislatures, giving us effective control of 26 states.

Support your candidates in local and state elections. Look up your state’s Open Meetings law and throw a scum leftist county commissioner in jail. Elect a constitutional sheriff.
