BACK IN BG? BOOOOOOOO

Well, I woke up in the 42103 instead of the 20001 this morning and felt so lost. There were no conservative speakers to go listen to, nor any Libertarian fanatics to argue with. FAC replaced the Marriott Conference center, and the WKU go bus was my DC Metro. Overall, I can reflect on some key points on the phenomenal, yet exhausting trip to our state capital and key to the heart of our nation- Washington DC.

'Too moderate for the Republican party, or not,' Mitt Romney has and will be my favorite contender for the upcoming primary elections for the Republican presidency. Tim Pawlenty is also one of my favorites contending for the president, as well. John Thune as the VP for both of these candidates is ideal candidacy for me.

Ron Paul pretty much wants anarchy with no government and foreign policy- a little crazy? I think so. I was stunned at the reactions and opinions of his supporters. It's not surprising that the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) dismissed Ron Paul from their advisory board. With factions being created within the party and no cohesion, the Republican party cannot afford to have candidates jeopardize legitimacy of the party. When looking on the inside within the Republican party as an outsider after this years CPAC, a liberal would have no problem finding disunity and opposition because of the radical Tea Party deriving from the Republican party.

Besides the political aspects of CPAC, I have fallen in LOVE with the city once again, and I cannot wait to eventually move there. The people, places, and politics is what I live for. CPAC 2012 before the presidential election? Can I say party in the USA.. literally. See ya then, DC.
