If you haven’t read my previous post yet, you might want to check out what is going on… Basically, I’m at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee’s yearly hootenanny. It is living up to all hype and exceeding expectations. In fact, the Boston Globe *may* have put it best, interestingly enough. Read here.
You would expect the usual suspects. There was Mitt Romney. For me, though the slick and finely tuned speech was delivered beautifully, he fell flat. Nothing can shroud the inaccuracies of a fool gone astray with Government-sponsored Massachusetts heath care reform, now swimming in bankruptcy as it’s Chief-RINO utters to a captive audience:
Strong families will have excellent healthcare. Getting healthcare coverage for the uninsured should be accomplished at the state level, not a one-size-fits all Pelosi plan. The right way to rein-in healthcare cost is not by making it more like the Post Office, it’s by making it more like a consumer-driven market. The answer for healthcare is market incentives not healthcare by a Godzilla-size government bureaucracy!
You can read the complete text of the speech at The Daily Caller.
Facts suggest that state level intervention, sponsored and passed by Mitt Romney, is a failure as well. Until Romney comes clean on the failures and his exact reference in regard to “reform,” I cannot get over the hypocracy. When all Conservatives stop trying to intervene and speak only in terms of reform to cut cost and create a system driven by doctors and patients, I am out to lunch.
I think, overall, my annoyance lies in the constant vieing for attention and Presidential ego. It’s no wonder since all media coverage is speculative of the 2012 frontrunners and their latest maneuvers. One example: Politico, “CPAC embraces the new Mitt Romney.”
I realize the groundwork is laid early. However, this forum is more the benefit of the speech given by Dana Loesch of St. Louis. Why? Because it wasn’t about her. It was about giving advice to a population who seem teaming at the bit to continue momentum into a strong 2010 message delivered in a crisp white envelope to Washington in a few short months.
Once video is posted, I’ll be sure to update this post, however, the summary of her message was to get out of your seat, be unafraid in your opposition — talk about it. Gather together and leave “no patriot behind.” When we are attacked, we lift them back up with our collective efforts. “It isn’t an easy fight.” Yet, her tone was just right for the moment… bright and encouraging with the urgency we must embrace if we are to continue. Yes, we’re jubilant in success, but not congratulatory and boastful. We want to continue with the people’s passion.
The reason I know Dana is where we should be casting our attention… did you see the last paragraph of the first-posted “read here” above?
Yes… this is a quiz.
