Thursday,
This was my first full day in DC second day in town. CPAC officially started today and there were a lot of speakers that i really hadn't heard of but I went to see John bolton at 10:45 he was an excellent speaker and had the crowd on their feet most of the way through his speach. The person who I was really looking forward to seeing was Mike Huckabee. I had followed his attempt to become the presidential candidate for the republicans so I was interested to hear what he had to say. He really didn't say anything that he hadn't said before except he spent like 10 min. making a bass boat analogy that really didnt make sence. I saw where he was going with it but he just pushed it too far and lost my attention.
Friday,
I slept in today because I really didn't know much about the earlier speakers, but i did make sure i made it to see Newt Gingrich who was the first speaker that i had seen who really was treated like a big celebrity he came in through the back and shook hands with all of the people on the isle while he received at at least a 5 minute standing ovation. His speech was very motivating a well delivered but the real treat of the day was Ron Paul, what makes his speech so great is the Ron Paul fans who show up in t shirts while every one else has on suits and ties, it seems like everyone knows that he is a little bit radical and just like to hear how far he will push his ideas like abolishing treasury. That night a few of us went out to sing Karaoke but when we got there no one sang I guess we were just too conservative for that kind of thing.
Saturday,
Today was the best day of the trip for one reason: I got to see Ann Coulter my hero speak about the condition of the nation. I wont repeat what was said in the speech because the majority of it isnt appropriate for a forum like this, thanks "Censor Shane". Ann is the person who got me interested in politics with her book "How to talk to a Liberal, If you must" ever since then I have been interested in politics and she is probably the reason for my major, along with my high school political science teacher in high school who mocked me for being a right winger. After her speech i tried to go get her to sight one of my books but she had to leave to got to the fox studio before I could get up there and then i couldn't get into to see Rush so i watched the UK game instead and UK lost, wow this is depressing im gonna just stop here.
Sorry we didnt do another video but we spent hours tring to upload the last one and it wasnt worth the trouble.
Peace
