Subscribe to RSSNBC's Mark Murray reports all political eyes will be fixed on the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) next week. This year's notable speakers include many potential 2016 candidates and past presidential candidates. However, there is one popular Republican leader who was not invited to address the conference: Chris Christie.

Unfortunately my eyes are not as I do not get CSPAN up here in freedom land. Maybe I will just rent Dumb and Dumber.
All eyes on cpac? Why?
Hmmm, I went frist ... oh for a better looking cohort of HS border minions ... frist to be frisked.
Pigotry
My, what large eyes you have.
I expect you to show up at cyber bar ... pumps and something strapless for your multiple cleavages ... I will be sporting a new pussy outfit.
I think their acronym is misleading (CPAC): Conservative Political Action Conference should be Conservative Political Action CHURCH. And that's the problem with that group - if they'd keep religion and politics separate, they might be a little more popular!
U R frist, My Kitty Pig! ...........Congrats.
MEOW = moral equivalent of war?
[Maybe I will just rent Dumb and Dumber.]
Or we could just stay here and read posts from Morgs and caesar...same thing.
Funny, Mickey! . . . you forgot edgar! :)
hey, Ursula-279622 (#1.3):
Plagiarized from #3.1
McChicken from KFC included. McChicken is a senator from Kentucky.
Mickey,
It is Culus Onan's day in the basement. His wife has the day off from work on Friday ... and he needs to look busy ... laundry, tidying up his plastic legions ... who knows?
Caesar has lesions?
Ohhh....LEGIONS...
*whew*
Fantasies and onanism have that effect.
The biggest thing to come out of CPAC will be the already obvious fact that Conservatives have concluded their 2012 electoral failure was all about the messaging, not at all about the policies. And xenophobia. And misogyny.
Then Republicans will reemerge with marching orders from the Adelsons, Anschutz's, and Kochs to go forth and blow up whatever glimmer of compromise tantalized us this week.
I only hope that by mentioning blow ups it hasn't awakened Little Ceasar.

...while claiming they have "re-invented" the party...
You all remind me of Woodrow Call in Lonesome Dove lamenting about how they had taken all the fun out of being cowboys having chased off all the natives. What will you do with yourselves once the Vine has been sterilized of alternative points of view? Non-stop pats on the back I suppose. :)
Or, old Gus McCrae was pretty fond of kicking pigs around...there's always that.
My guess it take time to clean those size 54 waist pants.
Wake me up when they get past reciting Genesis. Speaking of biblical stories of epic proportions, have they got a new date for Armageddon yet?
I heard that they've given up on the whole idea of predicting a date for armageddon and instead have just decided to rename it "Smarmageddon" so it will suit them no matter when it happens...
[have they got a new date for Armageddon yet?]
...should be out with it shortly...
bull @!$%#, it was yesterday.
[bull @!$%#, it was yesterday.]
OMG...I missed it? :(((
It's a conundrum... How can "all eyes" be on the CPAC train wreck when most of the rubber-neckers are already inside?
Can I give a summary before it begins........Obama Bad Bad Bad......Tea Party Good Good Good - they save the day (like Mighty Mouse).....from that evil Socialist/Marxist/Communist/Unamerican/Muslim loving/Gun hating evil man....
Sheesh and we are going to have to put up with their CR*** for the next few days.....ugh....
And can you imagine - they invited all those that had "Good" years.....would love to see what the "bad year" list looks like?
Ha///Gov. Christy can stay home and just shake his head in wonderment...and perhaps prepare the Eulogy for the GNOP.
...because they are tea-sick.
Interesting!
Lil Michelle
By all means and by those that you purport to have, please take this to the next level.
You lost me at "great former congressman Allen West".
The same Allen West who was kicked out of the military for abusing a prisoner?
The same Allen West who said that all "78 to 81" Democrats who were members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus were Communists?
Some of his more infamous quotes:
Anyone who considers this nutjob "great" cannot be taken seriously.
Thankfully more intelligent heads prevailed and he lost his reelection campaign in 2012.
[Interesting!]
There's that 162 IQ kicking in...I can smell the wood burning from here.
Lil' Michelle,
Sorry to interrupt your "interesting" thoughts with facts, but here is a quick breakdown of the 113th Congress by Race and Gender.
House of Representatives
79 women - 60 Democrats, 19 Republicans
40 African-Americans, all Democrats
33 Hispanics - 25 Democrats, 8 Republicans
9 Asian-Americans, all Democrats; 2 Native American Indians - 1 D, 1 R
Senate:
20 women - 16 Democrats and 4 Republicans
1 African-American, Republican (appointed NOT elected)
3 Hispanics - 1 Democrat, 2 Republicans
So despite your "Tea Party" claims, the majority of the Republican minority candidates were elected in open statewide races, not by "majority white voters over white GOP establishment types".
Why so few women? Why so few minorities in the Tea-party controlled House races?
They burned the last witch that tried to run. It was rather funny to watch her go up in flames screaming, I WAS a witch!!
sorry, forgot to site the source, wasn't my drivel!
I just got a kick out of every Dem calling Tea Party racist, and finding that information out.
I'm not saying Dems are racist, but Dems are saying that Tea Party is racist.
The GOP has 4 women Governors, 3 Hispanic Governors, and 2 Indian American Governors...
The Democrats: pale, male and stale, except for the empty suit named Deval Patrick and NH Gov Maggie Hasannn...
Lil Michelle
Interesting!"
Wow!!! You've surely put the whole racist issue to bed here (11.7)
Your IQ is escaping your body out of your fingertips.
TNSEVOL
Dont forget that this is the guy that tapped a wacky radio talk host for his office manager but after pressure she had to withdraw.
She said at a tea party rally "If ballots dont work..bullets will"

CPAC stands for Chickens Perceived As Chickens
The klown kar gets smaller, yet there are a lot more klowns to cram in. Palin to give a keynote, now there's forward thinking.
If you doubt that CPAC is full of wacky fun-loving crazies, just look at their guest speaker list.
Is Sarah Failin' there?
Every circus needs a clown.
I'm not in any way a tea bagger, but I do find it funny that the tea party wants NOTHING to do with Democrats.
Funniest post of the day! I think lm saves up it's best for Fridays. The IQ, gas from water .... they are such pearls of wisdom!
Layton, that was truly a gem ... Lil, I am jealous of your audacity ... just a temporary thing mind you.
Lil Mitchell -- Things they have in common: Seeing that McConnell loses his seat in the Senate!
I find it reassuring.
but, this is nothing but a circus of clowns!
Oh my goodness, I had no idea it was so obvious. Pardon me!!
I guess it is refreshing to sit on the sidlelines and watch the disdain that Dems have for Tea Party. Petty, childish, and hilarious!
really, after listening to the teabag members in congress that filibuster for 13 hours the other day...
THAT WAS PETTY, CHILDISH AND HILARIOUS. and that was on the public dime too.
How do you figure it cost us more than they already make? They are on salary you know so it doesn't matter if they do it 24/7/365, it all costs the same.

You are not a good capitalist. When your workers lean on a shovel for 13 hours, it just cost you more to get the job done.
Lil Michelle
"I'm not in any way a tea bagger, but I do find it funny that the tea party wants NOTHING to do with Democrats."
Thinking outside the envelope and a greater natural resistance to paradigms are indicative of a higher Intelligence Quotient. Thinking backwards is just thinking backwards.
Apples and oranges. GovCo does not produce a product. Shovel leaners do. Most are paid by the hour and therefore the increase in cost (more time to physically complete) on the total job. Next.
And Michelle, you may want to watch out. I think chick binder thinks you are a woman because of your picture and is smitten with following you like a schoolboy. You know the old "pick on them because you really like them and not hate them as you would like to portray".
One would hope he knows you are a guy..........oh wait........maybe he DOES know you are a guy.
Sorry Tee Tee, I wasn't ignoring you on purpose, you just don't say anything that interests me. Don't go getting all jealous now and end up in a slap fight with smart girl over me... Plenty to go around.
Let's see now. Scrolling back... Scrolling back... Nope, you haven't said anything interesting on here. You better doll yourself up a little bit if you wanna catch my attention.
You're just not your red-headed step-child self today and i've come to expect that of you... Otherwise you just blend in.
Thinking about Making me a little foldin' money this weekend and Buying up a bunch of Extra Strength Tin Foil that's on sale at the Piggly Wiggly and taking it Downtown and portioning it out for Head Wear. Bet I can make a Mint and make up for some of my Sequester Losses

Wouldn't it be More Productive if Our Elected Leaders Started Working Together as AMERICANS for AMERICANS and AMERICA, instead of just bickering, stalling and posturing for the next election as democrats and republicans! The American People have had it with this unproductive BS! The way that both parties having been operating for years just stinks! Neither party has really been looking out for the best interests of the US Citizens who elect them and who they're supposed to represent.
Both parties have sold out the bulk of the American citizens, who they're supposed to represent, by allowing the "out-sourcing" floodgates to open wider and wider without taking any sensible measures to stem the tide.
It shouldn't be all about Democrats or Republicans! It should be about Americans, especially our elected officials, doing the right thing for our country and its citizens. All the single-minded, left versus right, ideological one dimensional bull has got to go!
Both parties need to start working together and actually start doing something to fix the real problems in our country like "out-sourcing", illegal immigration, the out of control costs of health care insurance and our reliance on foreign fuel. If they don't start working together and actually start making progress by the next election, then American citizens should run a nation-wide campaign to vote out all incumbents regardless of party to send the message.
The ONLY REAL FIX is to Raise Revenue, by Bringing Back Jobs to US Citizens who Pay Income Tax.
Massive cutting just puts more people on unemployment, which just depresses the economy even further.
Returning private sector jobs to American Citizens will provide income tax revenue to OUR Government versus our government having to pay unemployment benefits to those who would be jobless instead. We need our elected officials to Start Protecting American Jobs and do whatever it takes to bring back the jobs they let go. We need leaders who will actually stand up for the American people.
The bottom line is that “Our Government” has to protect domestic industry and the jobs that those industries provide. If they do that, the rest will take care of itself.
We may have to pay a bit more for products made here in the USA by US citizens, but at least we'll still have jobs and a future for our children.
And yes - I'm Angry - As are most American Citizens right now!
It's really only one party, the fact that there are D's and R's is a gimmick. Same person/people run both.
too bad more people don't realize that!
It is all about the money, unfortunately neither party is for the people!
True - Seems that both parties were always able to distract and polarize voters with insignificant peripheral issues like gay marriage and abortion, which got most voters so caught up in the BS that they lost sight of the bigger picture. Our country, our jobs and our citizens.
Agreed - Our leaders really are a bunch of idiotic babies!
What's all this my team versus your team idiotic nonsense?
For God's sakes you're all Americans!
The vitriol will flow in copious amounts, Sarah will do her wink, wink, Romney will still wish he was......, Santorum will have his head up some woman's skirt. All liberals are dirt, progressives are communists, the President is not an American, Rubio will try to curry more favor by claiming to the Hispanic hope--really, ask a Puerto Rican Marco, Evangelicals/American sharia law advocates will abound, NRA center stage, folks needing a bit of assistance are all moochers and parasites---meanwhile audience will be be bellying up to the trough indulging in over eating, over gossiping, spreading rumors and whispering, thoroughly enjoying themselves as the true saviors of America, and the good times are just a had for the Baggers. Have at it boys, gonna boot you out come 2014. Marco, gotta wait until 2016 but you are gonna be gone too, bet on it. And oh, Cruz will open his ignorant mouth and get a standing ovation.
What a spectacle not worthy of prime time anywhere.
Corporations are on steroids, everyone else is on life-support
Corporate welfare and corporate socialism is the platform of CPAC.
When in doubt, bail out. Moral hazard
Government is on steroids, everyone else is on life-support
Corporate welfare to 'green energy' and Obama corporate socialism is the platform of the Democrats.
When in doubt, bail out. Moral hazard
hey, gop comabck
I disagree...there is more bailouts to banks and AIG than green energy.
But I do welcome a 'GOP comeback' ONLY for the benefits of a two-party system, but the voters will be the judge on that...so far, the prospect for a 'GOP comeback' is not so good, even though history is on the GOP side. In the 6th year of a president, the other party most likely makes a major comeback (remember 2006 as a recent example?).
Big difference Pig. The banks (for the majority) and AIG paid back the money they "borrowed" (not going to bring up Government Motors). The green energy dollars, I think they got caught up in the windmills and chopped to shreds and then the remnants burned on the solar panels.
Hey, talk:
How about F-22...one item wasting 100 billion dollars? Nothing has come out of the program.
Solyndra is only less than half a billion, a paltry sum in comparison. One banking executive made half a billion dollars from 2003-2007 selling bad mortgages that contributed to the failure of his company and contributed to recession in US and worldwide.
at least investment in green energy is a noble cause. But as in all things, no one can guarantee profits in all investments
That is definite liberal playbook. "because after all, it is the intent that matters and not the result".
hey, talk (#8.5)
we are all liberals, we are all conservatives
Talk, are you sure there is not a liberal inside you? You need to come out of the closet.
Talk --- Is that any thing like Mr. Romney using goverment loans to bail-out failing companys and then taking the retirement funds when the company does fail.
Your hero , eh.
And this differs from anyone in GovCo including the President how?
Talk -- I was hoping you would come up with something like that. Your right , so whats the big deal about Solyndra?
Rather than truly doing something that may have saved jobs and a company, it was done from pure ideology and wanting to portray the persona that "I truly care" to satisfy constituents who bought his pound of Oscar Meyer on global warming and needing "alternative energy". And it wasn't hot dogs. He didn't investigate (or so they would like us to think as the indicators were all there and thus the "hurry up and decide" push from his advisers) fully and just jumped on. Not all his fault. His handlers gave him bogus info and let him make a fool of himself.
He did the same here in NC with a furniture maker who was on the mend (except no money) and now they are closed after only nine months since his visit. But then they were the "glowing example of the American spirit and drive".
Hand --- I don't know about the ideolgy part about it I can't answer to that ,maybe the "hurry up and decide" part was there, all C.E.O.s can be pushed onto that.We will never know the true story behind these decisions. I have to say the same can be said for venture capitalist exept they are there to strictly to make money no matter who gets hurt by a bad dicision.
...ah...yes...the venomous hatred found here on FR by those who identity themselves as the 'party of tolerance.'
...truly amusing....I know I am not the only one laughing at the usual suspects and their self-proclaimed "superior intellect."
you look like chaos,
you look ridiculous (avatar),
you look ridiculously chaotic.
....sticks & stones, little piggy, sticks & stones..
...but, for you, the truth hurts, don't it?
Your Kim Jong Un impression is a riot Comrade!... But I haven't seen anyone on here make any self- proclamations about their intellect except Lil Michelle, and she hit it so far out of the park that everyone knew the bat was corked.
When the opposition paints themselves into corners as if someone pays them to, it makes others appear more intellectual. The root cause isn't the normal people.
Well, in all fairness, ComradeChaos, you still look better than I do - I am a pig.
Take it easy. Actually your avatar is eye-catching and amusing. I like it.

Republican CPAC---------Creeps, Pukes Always Crying.....
All eyes on CPAC.!!! Whose eyes, having eyes see not ? It will be just few days of Obama bashing, nothing concrete can come from the stupid party. The line up of stars/clowns are already jockeying for their spot with Trump the ringmaster. It is going to be worst then the Convention.
