Bill Maher's take on CPAC 2013 featured speakers...

On "Real Time With Bill Maher," 3/13, Maher noted that both Democrats & Republicans are misreading where the public is -- all see us as more conservative than we are. He equates it to the fact that gun ownership is way down in the US, and yet the NRA, with 4 million members, has a stranglehold on the gun policies in our country of 300 million.

This misreading of where the public really is explains why at this moment a cross-section of Republican politicians are at CPAC delivering a simple message to the right-wingers who keep losing them elections. And that message is, "Whatever you do, don't change."

Among the featured speakers at CPAC this year are

Mitt Romney
Paul Ryan
Rick Santorum
Donald Trump
and
Sarah Palin

A virtual who's who of WHAT THE FUCK!


(Emphasis is mine.)
