Well this explains the prevalence of the gay activist sympathizers. Paul and Mitt, now that is a recipe for disaster. While I agree with much of Paul's small government ideas he still doesn't seem to understand the reality of national security and the role of the US in the world. Mitt still doesn't talk like a small government conservative but then again how could he? When you support mandating people buy insurance and a health plan not a whole lot different than some of the democrat variants it is hard to believe he is what we need. I think what these results show as has the past two years of CPAC is that CPAC is no longer even close in representing mainstream conservative thought. It is a tool for the Republican party. If we want lawyers and millionaires who think only to a slightly lesser degree than the leftist socialists that they represent messiah like hope for the great unwashed to represent us then CPAC is representative. They don't have a big picture approach outside of conservative veneer. They don't see what we are doing as a battle for liberty and principle but seemingly only as an exercise of political expediency.

The left has a strategy to break us and force our submission. They have implemented it and have succeeded in wearing us down. Does anyone think that the Republican leaders would've resisted the call for Cap and Trade if it were not for us in the grass roots? Do you think they would have resisted the increasing pressure to call what is a sexual behavior a civil right? Do you think they would've resisted Health Care when Mitt Romney an architect of the oppressive Massachusetts health care plan is the one they wanted as our Presidential candidate? We need a plan to break the left. The Tea Party is the first time conservatives with a real plan based on founding principles has coalesced and we are breaking them as much as they are breaking themselves. We have plenty even in these forums that are eager to go back to the status quo. They want to elect liberal Republicans just so we can get an easy win and wont have to actually work, explain, and advocate principles that appeal universally to voters when articulated well, instead they want to sneak in.

Well the left does work hard because they are like thieves. They know the value of the liberty they are stealing from us. They know the value of the power they are gaining over us by forcing us to accept their false premises, issues, and lifestyles. We as conservatives tend to just want them to go away and leave us alone. We need to keep focused and understand that they will not and that we have to create an execute a solid plan and make them leave us alone.

Those who don't respect liberty or the sovereignty of their fellow man can not be trusted and can not be left to their own devices because while we sleep they are plotting and no matter how ridiculous and ugly their ideas are to the strong it is the fact they prey on the weak and the bitter and hopeless as serfs to their desires.

You do, do ya Ms. Laurel Elise Ava?

Tell me then, why during the Bush administration did they stand by and watch, and actually aid and abet, tens of millions of people, and God knows what else, to enter the U.S. illegally, during war time?

Progressives don’t merely want to destroy the constitution. They want to destroy all of our hallowed institutions: the military, Judeo-Christian morality, the traditional family, our culture and national identity.

How the hell did Romney come in second? The man is a certifiable ass. He needs to quit his political career and start promoting Just for Men.

You have to give Paul credit. He was able to get everyone who voted for him in 2008 into one room to vote for him in the CPAC Straw Poll. Impressive.

Its no surprise. Last summer I joined a conservative social networking group. Ron Paul people have spammed it into almost nothingness. First wave came in preaching founding principles. You know, things like “separation of church and state” which aren’t in the constitution. We fought that off. Then came a wave hollering about “neocons” and the war. They just hammer and hammer until people walk away.

Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, etc etc -- this is all a bad dream.

Getting very discouraged as a Conservative out here. Where are our Conservative leaders?? Do we have any??

We desperately NEED a Conservartive party? Who is going to step up and form it?

That’s because only about 25% of the attendees voted in the poll, and Ron Paul’s followers are such die-hards that they make sure they vote and in numbers.

The Paul followers are militant and organized and they are now labeling themselves “tea party” to gain support.

There are signs they are running in GOP primaries this year.

The Paulistas need to be watched carefully and we need to find them in primary races this year so we don’t vote for them.

You give me a choice between those three, and I would choose Paul as well. I don't think much of Romney. I like Palin, but she stepped down before her term was up.

I don't go as far as Paul in his libertarianism, but he's damn right on a lot of issues.

I think he does, a lot more than I used to give him credit for.

The US government (formerly known as We The People) has been commandeered by Wall Street. The global banking system, controlled by the Fed (who owns the Fed, by the way?) and the BIS (another totally secret organization above any law) control the world through their fake fiat money system.

If we don't work to dismantle that structure, it will be dismantled by force- by China, India, Russia, etc etc etc. It's not mathematically sustainable-- it will collapse under the weight of the $QUADRILLION in unresolved OTC derivatives.

The tea party types that so many Freepers want to bash here, know this. We want the Fed taken down one way or another. The sooner we do this, the less suffering we'll have to undergo in the long run- and the sooner we'll restore a Constitutional Republic.

The longer this thing drags out, the more likely we'll devolve into a police state- then we can kiss what's left of America goodbye.

It would be VERY important in a Ron Paul ticket to have a vice-Presidential candidate we really like, because, historically, those who have gone up against Central Banks haven’t lived out their years.

Well said...and I agree with your conclusion. And while it was nice to see Beck outing the progressives, Steyn this week was busy outing Australian multiculturalists and may as well have been speaking at CPAC on the subject of 'PC' (in addition to progressives) being the root cause of our downfall. In Steynonline he points out: " how the illusions of multicultural tolerance have been hijacked by the avowedly unicultural and intolerant". And that would make a great litmus test here in the US as well. Adding PC to progressive just compounds the unintended consequences of Bad Government (if it were just 'Big', the inefficiencies could be 'covered up' by the productivity of the Private Sector). Of course this administration is Blind and Deaf to the tsunami of unintended consequences it unleashed (so far unsuccessfully) in just one year. Gingrich engineered a comeback to the last progressive leftist...Paul can't come close to that success. On that score, Both Beck's Coolidge references and cutting the government back 50% in 1920 were priceless, since that's what is needed. Can't see Paul or Mitt in that equation at all.

2010 — the year CPAC; fortunately for conservatives, most Americans have never heard of CPAC.

CPAC straw poll -- Proof positive that CPAC has become a steaming pile of:
  1. Libertarian "America Loses" barking moonbats,
  2. RINO globalist commie open-border Free Traitors,
  3. GOProud Gay Mafia infiltrators.

I guess the delegates didn't catch Ron Paul pal Lew Rockwell's blog post calling them fascists.
