CPAC: Cheney is speaking now…
Written by Alex on February 7th, 2008He speaks every year. Usually, he’s the biggest speech of the conference, but with John McCain this afternoon and the President here tomorrow he’s not quite the main event.
Cheney mentions that Bush will be here tomorrow…
11:01 - Final year in office, revitalize America’s economy…
11:02 - Believes in a government that keeps to its limits, defends people, values & interests
11:05 - Letting Bush tax cuts expire “would be one of the largest government money-grabs in American history”
11:28 - Cheney just finished. Sorry I ended the liveblogging, it was hard to hear so i went and found free stuff. Koch is giving away free mini basketballs and hoops, and the Sam Adams Alliance has bobblehead dolls of … Sam Adams.

Alex! If you get me a Bobblehead of Sam Adams, I will be your best friend for life. At the very least I’ll pay you for shipping. Seriously. Pretty please?

The fact that Dick Cheney is welcomed at CPAC by conservatives is one reason the Bush/Cheney administration has been such a disaster for this country and the conservative movement. After all of the numerous times that this administration has taken a liberal stance against the very people who are responsible for putting them in office these same conservatives will line up around the block to hear the VP spout a bunch of nonsense about limited government and economic policy.
Eight years later ask yourself, are things better or worse in this country?
