CPAC says Romney 'not invited' this year after vote at Trump trial
By Tal Axelrod - 01/31/20 07:30 PM EST

Leaders of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday night formally disinvited Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) from attending the event next month over his vote to approve additional witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial.

"The 'extreme conservative' and Junior Senator from the great state of Utah, @SenatorRomney is formally NOT invited to #CPAC2020,â€ tweeted Matt Schlapp, the head of the American Conservative Union, which puts on the annual GOP confab.

I'd love for Trump to refer to Mittens, going forward, as the "Junior Senator from Utah." Don't even acknowledge the guy's name. Label him for what he is ... one of the least tenured and respected members of the Senate Republican Conference.

Or just refer to him as "Pierre Delecto."

Makes a person wonder what Mitten is loosing with Trump in office.

It can't be that Trump actually told off a liberal instead of joining one..

The part of all of this that baffles me is Mike Lee defending Romney after the vote.

That vote didn't take "guts" as Lee stated. That was the cowards way out.

A tale.
In 1964 Dullard's Old Man George was part of a cabal of Lefties who actively campaigned
against Barry Goldwater, R nominee and a Principled Conservative, insuring his defeat by Johnson.
The current fraud/hustler is more of the same!!!

More than one were just voting to get it over and save their asses.

CPAC was all in when it was Romney running for President. I don't think there are too many real Conservatives left in the Republican party. Certainly Romney never was. But oh, Romney was pushed on us. Dud! And McCain too. Dud!

If there is a Conservative where are they in the era of "Workers Party"?

CPAC: Home of the White RINOS!

I only saw a little bit of CPAC and was not impressed by the White RINOS like George Will and Mitt Romney. I have always hated most print media conservatives, except for Charles Krauthammer and Bill Kristol. George Will has always struck me as a RINO and an elitist snob that hates religious and social conservatives. The RINO fraud George Will, who hates two-thirds of all conservatives. Will and his toupee hate religious conservatives and have pushed progressivism on the Republican party. Will is absolutely a progressive republican that has a history of being anti-religion and anti-religious conservative.

CPACâ€™s poster boy is the reformed white RINO, Mitt Romney. I would not vote for Romney even in the General Election and think Romney would be another unsatisfying, uninspired RINO like Bob Dole, Gerald Ford, and John McCain. Romney is actually a more uninspired choice than McCain. CPAC also featured the newest White RINO, Scott Brown. Romney is weak and a poor defender of conservatism. That has been virtually silent for the last year and has been punch-less in attacking Obama and the Democrats. It is safe to come out Mitt. Mitt is no Jim DeMint. Romney is to the left of Charlie Crist and Kay Bailey Hutchison. Romney and Will should go have a RINO convention in Maine with Olympia Snowe, and save CPAC for real conservatives like DeMint, Rubio, Breitbart, and Cheney.

I use to spend a lot of time here defending Romney. I take all of it back. What he did was an abomination, carrying the water for the Democrats, and it would not surprise me if he voted along with them during the acquittal vote. Screw you Mittens.

Don't feel bad. I used to defend him as well. Since he's taken the Senate seat I've been disgusted with him and you are absolutely correct; what he did was a complete abomination. Shame on him.

Good to see you posting in here.

Romney was an awful presidential candidate in 2012. On another site, I had people trying to browbeat me into voting for him to "save" us from another 4 years of Obama. Someone almost persuaded me to change my mind till about a day or two before the election when I heard Romney promise a crowd that, if elected, he would institute yet another government jobs program. That was it. Why in the hell would I vote for another version of Obama -- only with lighter skin and an "R" after his name?

And people say he wants to run again, maybe in 2024? Not just no, but HELL NO!

Romney is the kind of guy who will do everything within his power to sabotage the Trump's reelection, and then if Trump loses, claim he was right for saying that Trump couldn't win. In fact, I suspect he'd have a lot of company in that self-congratulatory, self-fulfilling prophecy camp if that happens,

---------------------------------------
A demurral.
The R's were an anti-slavery party and represented the Northern Mercantile Class,
which evolved into the Industrial/corporate class.
It's pillars included Strong Centralized Government, Trade Protectionism to protect
our "infant industries" as described by that Ohio moron McKinley and Judicial Activism.
During its 70 year ascendancy from Johnson to Hoover, these pillars created modern governance.
Buckley, Goldwater and Reagan were conservatives first and R's last.
As for Cruz, he's a talker.

James Buckley.

Ran on the Conservative Party ticket in NY State. Lost twice...won once. Ran and lost to Chris Dodd in the general election in CT after he moved there.
