Dozens of CPAC Attendees Walk Out on Jeb Bush

The body of the article is far different from the headline.

“Bush’s comments attracted cheers from some parts of the ballroom, which was more packed than it had been at any other point in the conference...”

Some people walked out of an interview he was doing with Hannity.

Bush has money, and experience. He isn’t going to be beaten by some antics. Whoever is going to take on the GOPe had better bring their “A” game.

[Mastador1]

Pretty juvenile if you ask me. Rand Paul’s flock I guess.

They were chanting stand with Rand? Did they have a calendar so they would know where stand on which day?

[Windflier]

"Scores of CPAC attendees began to file out as soon as Jeb Bush started speaking..."

They probably all suddenly remembered that they'd forgotten to rearrange their sock drawers. That's my guess.

Heh....stay out da Bushes.

[Tailback]

Jeb: “They stink on ice!”

[Windflier]

NOPe to GOPe

Bumper sticker!

[sarge83]

So you can’t walk out on a liberal Republican, you can’t boo a liberal Republican, you can’t not vote for a liberal Republican because according to Republicans after all they expect and demand your vote regardless of the sorriness or how far left their candidate might be because they are after all the Republican nominee. So what is left to show your opinion and displeasure at their behavior or does being a Republican require blind obedience and support to the Republican Party?

[McGruff]

the protesting attendees began chanting “USA, USA” and “Stand with Rand.”

Sounds like his dad's supporters. Probably 20 or so.

same here. CPAC is supposed to be for conservatives and yet people like Bush and Paul are there. The are very much far away from being conservative and yet they bus their cronies in from DC and their staff to cheer and vote, thus making it look like they are adored and loved.

They are not and they can take a flying jump.

[MaxMax]

Freaking Paul-Bots. This serves no purpose other than feeding their own frantic lunacy.

Wtg jerks, always trying to make Conservatives look bad.

Anybody else like those snarky worthless new-age libertarians?
Some are here on the board.

[Windflier]

Im no Bush fan, but it looks like a lot of people stayed there.

I don't read much into that. Most conservatives are very polite people.

[Kartographer]

I agree with Johnny why is it juvenile? A RINO is like a mule sometimes you need to use a 2X4 to communicate with them.

[manc]

Rand Pauls druggie kids were shouting that?

It does not surprise me if they did anyway as I have come to expect it form that crowd.

[cableguymn]

I am talking about walker of course. Hes not the top of my list but he would do.

[P-Marlowe]

I would not have walked out, but I wouldn’t have gone in, either.

[Windflier]

Maybe Jeb belongs in the independent Democrat party...

[manc]

this is supposed to be a conservative convention not a liberaltarian or a RINO one,

Doesn’t liberatarians have their own convention and if so then are they afraid they don’t get he coverage they so much desperately want and so they have to infiltrate ours much like they do on our conservative websites

[entropy12]

The Bushes are known as “compassionate conservatives”.

They may be compassionate, but conservatives they are not.

GWB increased government spending more than any other president before him since WWII. In my book, he is a fiscal liberal.

Now with national debt approaching $20 Trillion, thanks to the community organizer from Chicago, the country will implode with another fiscally liberal president.

[lee martell]

I suppose I just didn’t want to say it, but yes, Jebby would be happier in the party of the DIMS.

[Windflier]

I don’t believe they should have listened docilely to that liberal just so they could rack up politeness points.

Neither do I, but our inner barbarian hasn't yet been released. Time is coming where the public response to weasels like Jeb will be on a par with 'shock and awe'.

Tar - feathers - politician. Some assembly required.

[Kartographer]

I am curious what do you think of this?

The Washington Times reported yesterday that some conservative activists were considering protesting Jeb’s speech. In anticipation of just such a walkout, Slate reported, Bush’s team began bussing in supporters from downtown Washington, D.C. Many of the buses were expected to depart from K Street, the heart of the lobbying industry in Washington.
