CPAC Agenda: Joe The Plumber To Advise Young Conservatives As Panelist
On Thursday, conservatives will be descending on Washington DC, the place they like to slam the most, to galvanize their mission to take back Congress and the presidency. Reports say this year's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) will bring in record numbers despite it not being a midterm or presidential election year. According to The Washington Times, 7,000 people attended last year and 9,000 are expected this year.

Last year President Bush and Cheney were the stars of the event. And Mitt Romney chose the conference to announce that he was suspending his campaign.

This year, Cheney and Bush are off the agenda, replaced by ghosts of the campaign trail like Joe the Plumber (Joe Wurzelbacher) and documentarian John Ziegler, who has been making the rounds to restore Sarah Palin's self-imposed media debacle with his documentary "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted." And of course Rush Limbaugh will be there as the biggest draw.

Check out their other events....

3. Republicans live in their own "reality"
Thankfully, most Americans seem to be escaping.

9. The brain trust that is your modern Republican Party.
Hmmm.. I wonder what sorts of innovative approaches to our nation's problems they'll come up with this time?

Let me guess. Tax cuts. Deregulation. More military spending and adventures. Outlaw abortion and birth control, grant rights under the 14th Amendment to single cells. Demonize the opposition. Wave the flag, Prayer in schools. School vouchers. And don't forget about teaching "Abstinence Only" and Creationism!

See, this is why it's so important to get young people- like these "Young Conservatives" involved in politics- that way you get so many FRESH, NEW IDEAS!

10. 8,999 empty barrels on the wall, 8,999
Can you imagine? 9,000 of the stupidist people our country can offer?
Here's an idea! Tax cuts!
I wonder if crayons and paper are provided or do they bring their own.

14. Duh. They're Republicans.
If they provided the crayons, they'd be no-good libruls and socialists.

11. What, No South American Dictators Available?
You know, like Jerry Weller's father in law. If they're scraping the bottom of the barrel like this, maybe they should start advising their bubble headed "future" by bringing in some mass murderers and dictators. It would be right up their alley and makes as much sense as Joe the Fake Plumber.

12. Oh, this should be good.
What's Phyllis Schlafly going to do? Tell all the young conservative women to get married, have babies and stay at home? Or that they should get law degrees, and then make a career out of telling OTHER women to get married, have babies and stay at home--like she did?
