Ron Paul's Bogus Straw Poll Win At CPAC

In real life Ron Paul gets maybe 3%. Maybe, but when it comes to straw polls RP wins. Supporters say that their work (swarm) stands and RP should be the nominee. BS.

Ask yourself how many people you know like what Ron Paul stands for. Then ask yourself how many people you know think Ron Paul has a snow ball's chance of winning the presidency. They don't have to be close friends. They can be anyone you've ever met, talked to or seen. There is no credibility.

Then there are Ron Paul dEvolution members. They are abrasive, rude and underhanded and that's the good side. Cheap tricks don't a president make.

CPAC's RP straw poll win isn't just bogus, it is a cheap trick and it makes Ron Paul look like a cheap one trick pony.

Ron Paul Supporters Prove They're Not Conservative Republican Smart

CPAC - Ron Paul's dEvolution has some really good people, but has been hijacked by some complete idiots. Huh? Well, to highlight their support of America they embarrass the pre-eminent conservative convention, a conservative former Secretary of Defense and a conservative former Vice President of the United States of America. This current Team Paul isn't libertarian, they are idiotarian and it shows.

Paul Supporters Hijack Cheney-Rumsfeld Reunion

One Paul Foolian screamed "War criminal" at Cheney which has the Foolian's brothers and sisters at DU cheering. The MSM has already picked up the story (otherwise they would have ignored CPAC) and is, with the help of these morons, attempting to make conservatives look bad.

Good Lord, how far is this group from passing out copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and whispering Illuminati conspiracies. Oh, wait...

They're not very bright.

Buckle Up

Romney Wins CPAC Straw Poll Despite Withdrawing

It's going to be a rough ride. If we can get everybody who has given up and tried to take their little rubber duckies home, this could get interesting.

My favorite documentary, Blazing Saddles, might put it this way:

Howard Johnson:
You know, Nietzsche says, "Out of chaos comes order."

Olson Johnson:
Oh, blow it out your *$$, Howard.

Hillary, you Goldwater girl, you.

CPAC

Less than half the day gone and I'm catching my wind. The short version is that I got to speak with Morton Blackwell, a man who has walked the walk on getting things done for years, I also had a brief, but wonderful chat with Phyllis Schlafly (my mother adored her), I spoke with Grover Norquist if only to thank him for his staffs' incrediable help to me while here and many others. I also got to briefly say hi to Ed Morrisey of Captains Quarters. He hadn't the first clue as to who I might be, but he was very gracious.

Ms. Coulter had quite a line for her book signing and the line for Newt's booksigning is already massive and willing to wait.

I'm having lunch.

So Sue Me

I'm at CPAC in DC. This is my first trip since my heart surgery and I will admit that I am pooped. Things in DC haven't changed much since I left. As I used to do I took the Metro bus from Dulles to DC, still a deal at $3.10 and still predictable as the bus was 50 minutes late getting to Dulles.

CPAC is not as well attended as it used to be which is an obvious shame. I caught up with some good friends, heard some great speakers and wondered how the excitement I witnessed could be transferred back to the grass roots. I know how it can't be tranferred as I saw empty booths that yesterday contained Romney supporters, people actually dewy eyed over his departure and heard people grouse. If I didn't have such a strong belief in the people of this country I would be depressed, but I refuse to cave in to that feeling. There is too much at stake.

Tonight I had dinner with a group of people that I respect and the discussion was lively, intelligent and a good look at what could be, but there was a new person dining with us who exclaimed that they wanted the Democrats to take the election because then we could blame them and sweep in 2012 because John McCain is such a disappointment. With my usual aplomb and grace I stated that their statement was a crock of crap and if I took that view I would be disappointed in myself for being part of it because losers always lose. I believe even the restaurant staff stopped and stared at me.

A friend sitting next to me said something along the lines of, "Well, you always did say what was on your mind. It got you fired and it got you hired", to fill the volume vacuum and lighten the moment. It turned out the person who had spoken is married to one of the major fundraisers for the Republican Party and as I just shook my head in disgust, they left in a huff. Somewhat still angry I said, "So, sue me" and the table burst into laughter. Many at the table are Buckeye fans so I asked them if Tressel should refuse to go to games if he doesn't get his top recruit and was promptly told that I had gone too far. It was almost enough to make me want to move back to the District of Calamity.

The rest of dinner was a state by state analysis and projected turnouts if this or that occured and those that remained left in better spirits and a little clearer on what needs to be done.

Long day tomorrow and lots of more friends to catch up with.
