Thread: CPAC 2007....Anyone going?

Be curious to see what if anything comes out of it.

Tancredo & Hunter are both speaking along with the other Rupublicans running for President except for McCain.

Interestingly, Duncan Hunter speaks at 8:30 a.m. (earliest time scheduled) and out of 9 presidential candidates speaking, Tom Tancredo is the only one without a listed speech time.

8:30 a.m. is as far from prime time as you can get and Tancredo, well, guess he didn't even rate a time block - what's up with that?

Wouldn't want to dirty prime time with real conservatives would you?

Giuliani speech
Michelle Malkin

Notes...

The Regency Ballroom was packed. Bryan and I barreled are way in as George Will was introducing Giuliani.

"New York City has been liberalism's laboratory in the 20th century," Will noted, nurturing a "culture of complaint. "Conservatism comes in many flavors, and your next speaker's is the flavor of Margaret Thatcher." Will joked that Thatcher couldn't resist swinging her handbag at any bureaucratic institution that got in her way.

Applause for Giuliani's entrance was strong. Giuliani joked that if he started swinging handbags around, he'd have another issue. The Mayor walked through his policies on taxes, welfare reform, American education, and finally national security and terrorism. About two seconds total devoted to immigration and border security, but his praise for Reagan and his closing remarks about the war were well received.

Quotable:

"I believe the Republican Party's greatest contribution is when we give more freedom to people."

"America will prevail against the Islamic terrorists. I have no doubt."

"Maybe we made a mistake in calling this the war on terrorism. This is not our war on them. This is their war on us." (Prolonged applause.)

"This war ins over when they stop planning to come over here and kill us. Until then, we have to remain on offense against terrorists."

"America has the right ideas. We should not be embarrassed by ourselves. We are the luckiest people in the world."

Greetings from CPAC 2007! On Day Two, Congressman Duncan Hunter kicked us off with a speech that touched on immigration, the war, and global trade.

Hunter is my kind of guy when it comes to the war, and I'll just leave that as shorthand that he's on the same page as those of us at The Victory Caucus. (It is my hope that we'll be able to do an in-depth interview with the Congressman for Victory Caucus sometime soon).

The one perhaps newsbreaking item in his speech was when it came to immigration. Hunter went out of his way to cite the now infamous case of the two border agents imprisoned for shooting a suspect. Citing the 10+ year sentences they received, he declared flatly "As President of the United States, I will pardon Ramos and Compean."
