Sam Seder filling in for Keith Olbermann on Countdown shared some of the highlights from day one of CPAC 2012.

SEDER: The one thing the Republicans do well, even better than fearmongering, is throw extravagant events. In our forth story, today began the thirty ninth annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, a chance for conservatives to come together and trash President Obama. Apparently twenty four hours on Fox News, was not sufficient. […]

But claiming that this is solely an event to trash the President is only half true. It also serves as the official 2012 meeting of the Reagan fan club, with each speaker seeing how many times they can mention the late president. Outside of the standard GOP talking points, this year's conference proved an opportunity for former presidential candidates to give their campaigns' postmortem.

Zombie Reagan should be out of the laboratory by April.
They still have to finish his brain... oh, never mind - he's ready to go.


Wall Street is just a parasite on the actual labor and investments of average Americans.
Banks play with futures, debt paper, complex financial instruments, and other peoples incomes.
Sell 'em short & help 'em crash - Tear 'em apart & sell the pieces

Well, day two was interesting too. Ann Colture spoke today and some of the stuff she said made you just shake your head. A girl in the audience asked told her that people didn't understand how the girl could be female and republican. Ann said all republican women were beautiful. (of course we are looking at Ann as she said that) At one point when she was speaking she talked about the way democratic party men treated their women and cited Weiner and Clinton. Of course I was thinking about the many republican politicians who have totally screwed over their wives. I seem to remember something about one of the Republican candidates running right now, Newt. Ann was off her game today.

They say when a woman is playing with her hair she is in a flirty mood. Ann must have been in a super flirty mood today because she played with her hair at the beginning and ending of just about every sentence she uttered.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

The one thing the Republicans do well, even better than fearmongering, is throw extravagant events.

Yet these are the people who are (according to them) relentlessly persecuted by society.

It's like Bill Maher once said concerning the topic of Republicans' Christian persecution complex (paraphrased): "Nothing cries persecution like holding a banquet in the Grand Ballroom @ the Waldorf-Astoria."


When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat & carrying a misspelled sign.

When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?

Not soon enough!

And these yahoos would gripe that he didn't discover it yesterday.
