Ron Paul Booted From CPAC

[mrjarrell]

Looks like the conservative wing has finally made it clear that there's no room at their table for libertarians. Doesn't matter how popular they are, the philosophy is anathema to them, at their core. Maybe this will help, in the long run. Libertarianism isn't some brand of conservatism and libertarians aren't just conservatives who like pot. Here's hoping they dig the rift deeper.

They want to dilute him as much as possible before the convention.

Made it clear? The author of that piece doesn't even make it clear. He's not sure if it was a Paul or CPAC decision or why. The rest is merely wild speculation based on the author's own suppositions.

Another take on it.

To make a short story even shorter. Al Cardenas, the former chairman of the Florida Republican Party took over as head of CPAC. This means that the country club republicans have taken over CPAC and will have none of Ron Paul and his army of supporters storming the event. I predict the lowest attendance of CPAC in years as a result of this snub.

Maybe there will be an accurate representation of conservatives now.

 

[Paul]

Maybe there will be an accurate representation of conservatives now.

Hopefully that was suppose to be purple

 

[armedindy]

why does it seem like the media gets to choose our president?

 

[Hotdoger]

No purple.

CPAC has been overun with Paul supporters.

 

[Rizzo]

It is an accurate representation of young conservatives.

Yeah. Gingrich and Romney. Welcome to the new "conservatism" of 2012.

 

[armedindy]

its gross

 

[jsgolfman]

He wasn't booted, he was one of the first candidates they approached. Jesse simply hasn't responded yet, I believe. I will have to verify.

 

[Hotdoger]

CPAC is only for "young conservatives"?

 

[Hotdoger]

Yeah. Gingrich and Romney. Welcome to the new "conservatism" of 2012.

You are starting to sound like a MSM reporter now.

 

[jsgolfman]

Yep, verified. He was invited, but declined. Will send Rand in his stead as he wants to continue on the campaign trail.

Rand is a better choice anyway.

 

[CarmelHP]

So all the crying in the beer was so much bull . Again.

 

[jsgolfman]

Just energetic supporters jumping to conclusions, based on previous treatment.

Does Fox count as MSM?
