SATURDAY
CSPAWN … i mean CPAC ended their 3day conservative conference today. The 10,000 conference attendees, 
though, conservatives are calling themselves activists came together to i guess bash everything democratic and possibly everything right of center, maybe close to fringy. Personally, i do not believe true activists practice exclusion and worse.We all saw the CPAC speakers, it was not positive, it was not uplifting the only thing i saw was a lot of people talking at the issues, no solutions, no numbers and not much in the way of wanting bipartisanship. The group is of differing attitudes and by all accounts are practicing exclusion, discrimination , racism and embraced the party of NO slogan as a whole. On this 3rd and final day of Cpac, the number of participants being about 10,000; the group of what some say are the fringy, more violent and disturbing part of the Republican Party. There were Republican Politicians at this conference, which, makes you wonder exactly what liabilities should these Republican Politicians be forced to face or do we assume that everything said and done over the last three days are covered under our Constitutions 1st amendment. The last day brought these people together to make a final decision about who they want to run for President in 2012; and Ron Paul won their straw poll at CPAC, Mit Romney came in 2nd and Sarah Palin, who, chose not to even be there was came in 3rd. It was reported that a significant number of Ron Paul supporters were at this conference and made their voices heard, Ron Paul received 31% of the votes. i am not a supporter of CPAC or what they stand for; however, it is important that democrats; anyone to the left of center be well informed of all things CPAC and or the tea party movement.
