Several key speakers at the CPAC convention mocked Obama's use of teleprompters.

There were two of them on stage at the time!

Almost like Obama talking about bringing new politics to DC, right?

Kinda like when Obama says he's an advocate of the free market while voiding creditor rights and taking over two car manufacturers? Yes, hilarity.

Or the fact he says he's assembled the best economic advisors but yet has to form some blue ribbon panel to figure out debt...BRILLIANT!

The greater hillarity for me is the sudden obsession with Romney. He makes a couple of speeches railing against Obama and suddenly he's the new champion of conservatism at this meeting. The man says Obama failed America using healthcare as an example. Have people forgotten Romney's own version of healthcare almost a carbon copy of what Obama's pushing? Or the fact his record (one term as governor) is something of a New England moderate? We are lining up to speak on how we look to Obama's past to define his true beliefs but yet Romney's past is forgiven and he comes out smelling like the frontrunner for 2012...

I think people are trusting Romney since he had private sector experience. He started a business and made it a very profitable one. He rid the olympics of a lot of corruption and helped make it a success. If the economy had went south a little earlier he would have been the candidate last election not McCain. He will be a serious candidate for 2012.

George Soros has private sector experience. W did as well. Keep in mind Romney's profitability came from cutting dead wood which means jobs. While profitability is a positive, the last thing the people unemployed and facing hard times want to see is a person in charge who handed them a pink slip. His past is perfect fodder for the Dems to attack him. The economy was already south at that point for many. Romney wasn't the choice because of two things - his religion and his lack of conservative credentials.

I didn't say he wouldn't be a serious candidate. I am criticising conservatives who make him their darling when the man's record on the issues and in elected office is anything but conservative. Again, it is amusing to go to a meeting full of people pointing out Obama's past record but ignoring Romney's. And it is amusing to see conservatives criticising McCain for his record but Romney makes McCain look like Jesse Helms.

The Olympics was rid of corruption? Really?

He is not even in my top five, I am just pointing out why some like him. I wanted Duncan Hunter and in 2012 I like Jindal or Perry. Down the road I want Paul Ryan.

When the primaries were going on the primary issue was the wars, the economy was not front page yet.

He did not fully rid it of corruption but he did do a good job.

I've never understood the infatuation with Romney from the start. I think the Republicans are going to blow this because you have too many wings under the umbrella that will never agree on who is the best candidate for the job and will self destruct with more mediocrity.

The only people Romney could hand a pink slip to would be employees of a vastly bloated federal government. If nothing else, Romney should get serious consideration for Sec of Treasury. All I want is a fiscal conservative. For the most part Romney, among others, fit that bill. The only reason he didn't win the nomination is because the idiot known as Huckabee split the Romney vote.

i don't think a morman can become president right now. too many people still feel like it's a bit of a cult.

W has private sector experience much like Donald Trump's kids do.

Fiscal conservative? Romney? Examine his record as governor. Again, note his healthcare plan in MA. I wonder if the same conservatives attending CPAC who railed against Obamacare will do the same with Romney's own history with healthcare.

Thanks for skipping over the caveat 'For the most part.' And yes, I'm sure Conservatives will rail against Romney if he is stupid enough to make the same mistake twice. Just like Conservatives roasted W on Dubai Ports and immigration reform. If you imply that a Conservative will blindly follow a Republican then you are sadly mistaken.

While a Republican will blindly follow fellow Republicans, the same cannot be said for Conservatives. Evidently you weren't watching all the Conservative outrage during the last few years of W's presidency.

Or the money they handed out to him. Or the money they handed out to McCain...or to Romney...or to numerous others. Or the votes, endorsements, campaigning, etc. Did you not see all of the praise Romney is getting at CPAC? Look at the disclosures of these "RINO's" and see conservatives having no problem working for and writing checks to them.

I personally have quit donating to the GOP, they are too left for my liking. I feel pretty confident is saying that many true conservatives feel like the place to make your voice heard is in the primaries then hold our noses if we have to and vote for a RINO like McCain. Which I have promised myself I would never do again. Barry is the best thing that could of ever happened for the conservative movement.
