If ol' Gordo weren't such a criminal scumbag, I might be inspired to do something like that. ;)

Thanks. Who knows, maybe next year we should get a booth just for these forums. :D

The "President's Favorite Mass Murderer" pedestal would look odd without somebody's statue on it, wouldn't it?

Yeah, I think Cavuto was trying to give him a chance.

Looking over your blog, I see we met there. I was one of the (many, I'm sure) C4L volunteers who stopped by your booth. I don't play, but I picked up some of your literature and stickers for a work colleague of mine who is heavy into the game. You guys had a hell of a booth setup. Good...

That would certainly help, but most of them have bought into the earmarks=pork=big government red herring for so long that they're certainly not going to have their minds changed by Ron stammering that he doesn't know how earmarks make it into bills with a big byline that reads "Biggest Porker"...

That was terrible. In fact, I'd say that interview has the potential to undo much of the bridge-building we've done with the mainstream "conservative" movement since the election.

I have yet to see anyone cheering for the fact that government money is being used to prop up a faulty economy. :confused:

Yeah, that was a huge issue at the end of the 19th century. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Silver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallism

Be careful about relying on ontheissues.org to interpret people's voting records. A few months ago I posted this in another discussion where people were using information from ontheissues.org to criticize Sanford: It's sad how misleading that ontheissues.org site is... Wait a minute! Ron...

It's not that. It's just that many of us understand the principle of Creative Destruction. The bad elements of the economy must be liquidated in order to redirect capital to healthy, productive elements of the economy. If you're living in a house of cards, it's better to let it fall and then...

The truly hardcore neoconservatives (using the strict definitiion of the term) were conspicuously absent. Really the only strictly neoconservative organization I noticed there was the David Horowitz people. The majority of attendees were probably Newt Gingrich-style conservatives -- big on...

I was standing way in the back, right beside the Fox News booth. I probably won't be on camera. Right beside me was a nice older gentleman from NC and his daughter. They were there with another organization, but he told me that he really only wanted to hear Ron Paul.

I didn't really get a chance to take any photos. The C4L crew was photographing, though, and they should be up on the site soon.

Getting ready to head back over there. We are definitely the best-represented group present. Our volunteers are the most visible by far. Of course, all the media wants to talk about is the fact that Joe the Plumber is here. Supposedly gave the lineup of "featured speakers" on the MSNBC First...
