Trump is a vile racist, CPAC loves him. Stop it!!! The Republican Party is the party of the racist and the wealthy. Get a clue, they hate the first black president. Old white racists can't believe this great country loves Obama!

. . . Tommy Vietor (and I) are highlighting this image because it reflects the absurdity of Palin and the event, itself.

Demographics will destroy the GOP - Teabirchers. This country has NEVER stopped basic civil rights, once in motion. Voting rights, women's rights, civil rights, union rights, gay rights. Once it starts, we always win.

The thought that Sarah Palin was a rigged-election away from being a heartbeat away from the Presidency should cause everyone to take a big gulp.

Even FAUX news punted her. This person offended the people of her state by resigning half way during her term as governor. There's a demonstration for personal responsibility Mrs. Palin you completely failed.

It is so comical CPAC had Palin speak who is such an unpopular person and snubbed Chris Christie who is one of the most popular Republicans. I didn't think the Republicans could further sabotage themselves but they managed to do so.

the book where Ayn Rand describes with glee the deaths of teachers, trade unionists, and the poor (the parasites) in a horrible train accident. Such are the values of the modern Republican party.
