CPAC Conferences
Posted: Sun Mar 05, 2023 11:42 am
Funny how thin his rallies are when attendance requires a convention registration fee.
CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, wrapped up yesterday. For the most part, it was your typical Trump Fest.
But one thing in particular stood out to us. Marjorie Taylor Greene went after President Zelensky in Ukraine. Here’s what she said:
“No money to Ukraine, and that country needs to find peace, not war… And while I will look at a camera and directly tell Zelensky: you’d better leave your hands off of our sons and daughters because they’re not dying over there.”
If that isn’t just the dumbest thing to say.
Put aside the fact that for a tiny fraction of the defense budget, we’ve been able to marginalize Putin and his military threat while uniting NATO and our European allies.
Put aside the fact that Ukraine didn’t start this war — that this democratic country was invaded, and continues to be under siege.
The thing that REALLY bugs us is this: Every single day that Ukraine fights on is a day that American sons and daughters are NOT in harm’s way. The most important thing for our National Security in this conflict is to make sure Zelensky and Ukraine have everything they need to take back their territory and beat Putin once and for all.
If they don't, Putin will march on, and the United States will be drawn into a disastrous war in Europe. It is MTG who is backing a policy that ends with our sons and daughters in harm's way.
MTG is the last person we should be hearing from on this. But as it stands, she is one of the loudest voices in the Republican Party.

This is pretty much the issue the extreme right, and Trump, have with support of Ukraine. They do not want what strong democratic countries would want. They love Putin. And they especially hate Ukraine and Zelensky because he would not make an announcement that he was investigating Biden. He was asked for a quid pro quo and did not give Trump what he wants.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 12:18 pm From Vote Vets:

Cross posted in Lake's thread.Among a field of 28 candidates, Lake won the poll with 20 percent of the vote, beating former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis received 14 percent of the vote, and Haley, who announced her bid for the White House last month, won 10 percent.
Lake, who was also a featured speaker at CPAC’s Ronald Reagan Dinner over the weekend, has refused to accept her loss in the governor’s race last November and is challenging the election results in court.
It'd be more efficient to point out the accuracies.MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 9:11 pm A link to CNN's Daniel Dale's article pointing out ALL (or, at least the significant) lies put forth in Trump's CPAC speech - Fact check: Trump delivers wildly dishonest speech at CPAC.
Yeah, damn right. We want our sons and daughters to die in school shootings, like good Americans ought to.Stupid Phucktwaddle from Georgia wrote:“No money to Ukraine, and that country needs to find peace, not war… And while I will look at a camera and directly tell Zelensky: you’d better leave your hands off of our sons and daughters because they’re not dying over there.”

Last year he got 69% in Dallas before that it was 70. He's slippingFoggy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 10:01 am Yeah, but it's TPAC now, just like Fredericks said. Haley got 3%. She gets 3% on a regular basis, I haven't seen her doing any better than that. She's a non-entity, the worst fate in polly ticks.
And at a Trump rally, Trump should get at least 70% of the vote in the straw poll.
He's becoming a non-entity himself, slowly but surely.
Plus, think how devious Biden is, that he can even rig the vote against "Trump" at TPAC.
Awesomeness.
