Ideas & Agenda for the GOP Party Today
All four remaining GOP presidential candidates attend the 2008 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Sen. John McCain (AZ), Rep. Ron Paul (TX), and Fmr. Gov. Mitt Romney (MA) address and seek conservative support at nation's largest annual gathering. Fmr. Gov. Mike Huckabee (AR) speaks at CPAC on Saturday
McCain says he proudly defends pro life. Oh yeah? When did he do that?
I do not make promises I do not intent to keep.
Clearly conservative
will stand on my convictions
Whoops
I’m going to continue listening so I WONT weaken and go to the Lincoln Day Dinner next week
From Michell Malkin’s blog:
3:25pm Eastern. John McCain introduced. 50/50 cheers and boos.
I’s been along while…we should do this more often.
Pardon my absence last year…I was merely preoccupied.
Maybe i should just sit down.
You were addressed by a great governor, governor romney. had a phone conversation, congratulated. we agreed to sit down together and unite the party.
To Romney camp: I congratulate you, you did a fine job, you are welcome to join my campaign.
Then quickly moves to praising Huckabee.
Boos.
I’m proud to be a conservative, and I’m proud to make that claim because we share the most basic principles. Liberty is from our Creator, not created by governments.
Like you, I understand, as Burke observed, whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither is safe.
…I’ve always believed, like Reagan, “a political party cannot be all things to be all people.”
I attended my first CPAC conference as a guest of Ronald Reagan…
Campaigned in Iowa against agri-subsidies. Campaigned in Florida against national catastrophic health insurance bill. Opposed prescription drug benefit. Touts 2nd amendment record. I have proudly defended by 24-year pro-life record.
Segues to surge defense.
lol
Now is the time for a third party that is an anti-ILLEGAL immigration party. Let McCain and the Dem candidate split the open borders vote.
What is the deal with McCain bouncing his eyebrows up and down?
Yup...duly noted.
Now that's a bit rude.
(snicker)
How anyone there is keeping a straight face is beyond me. Did Johnny threaten to have anyone who laughed keelhauled or something?
“if the phrase ‘my friend’ is the drinking game, I’d be drunk already at work.”
I played it with “mill worker” at Edwards and almost had to get my stomach pumped.
Sure sounds like it.
A Clinton move.
McCain just said conservative principles appeal to the people. No sh!t, Sherlock. He should know, because the conservatives overwhelmingly voted against him in the primaries.
I’ve known he’s a liar for around 8 years.
Other side will take our country backward...large govt bureaucracies
Po’d that Dems are blocking surveillance
If you want to choose a word for the drinking game when bill is giving a speech I would suggest the word “I”
You are watching a potemkin village of conservatism in that room
When he says he's conservative on anything, it's almost always a lie.
No wonder there is no coverage of audience reaction. We have entered bizarrroooo world.
