I wanted to mention that Tom Delay introduced Ann Coulter at CPAC.
Can you believe it!

JC

Yeah, from what I read about it, they're really lost in fantasyland.

Here's a report that seems to sum up the conference.


"At CPAC, I asked Gavin Valle, a 42-year-old strategic healthcare
consultant from New Jersey, what he thought about those who have worried
aloud that having Rush Limbaugh taking a too prominent or public role
might hurt the Republican Party. "Rush is the heart and soul of the
conservative movement. He's always a conservative first and a Republican
second, and he lets people know that," said Valle, whose jacket was
adorned with "Nixon's the One" and "Reagan for Governor" commemorative
buttons. I asked Valle what he thought of moderate Republicans and other
party leaders in Washington who think Limbaugh wields too much influence.
"As far as people on the Hill criticizing him? Frankly, there's a lot of
people on the Hill who are Republicans first and conservative second or
not at all.""
"And not everybody who loves Rush is part of the aging angry white male
cohort that is no longer sufficient to win an election. CPAC attendee
Chelsea Barnett, a 21-year-old student at the University of Central
Oklahoma who says she's been listening to Limbaugh since she started
driving, was inspired by Limbaugh's address. "Omigosh, I think he
energized the base so much," said Barnett, who at one point ecstatically
shouted, "Are you single?!" toward the stage. "I think everybody's asking
themselves, 'Where in the world has this guy been and why have we not
heard from him face-to-face?' He's so effective in person in energizing
people. It was so amazing. I think we're going to see a lot more from him
in person.""



The best thing they could do is disinter Reagan and have him animated.

sigh I don't hold out much hope for my party. I said I'd give them six
months after the election to see if the moderates swept back into power,
or if they were going to self-destruct in an orgy of reactionary
revanchism. It's looking more like the latter every day, and that I'm
going to have to change my party registration to "independent" after 25
years or so of being a Republican.



Aw come on Ed. Can't see yourself wearing a Rush/Palin button in 2012? He
is, after all "he heart and soul of the conservative movement".

LOL

The only thing he'd be good for is the White House's lawn jockey.
