Romney To Speak At Council For National Policy

26 Sep 2007 09:22 am

Kudos to Mitt Romney's team for putting his meeting with the Council for National Policy on the campaign schedule. The CNP is a redoubt of earnest conservative hardliners, intellectual warriors of the Cold War, assorted fringe figures and major Republican fundraisers. It is also very private and doesn't like to publicize the fact or location of its meetings.

Before Sen. Fred Thompson entered the race officially, he was a favorite of the CNP, and executive director Steve Baldwin was said to be pressing other CNP members to give Thompson a close look. (Thompson spoke to the CNP's Spring conference in Washington).

CNP seeded Pat Buchanan's protest presidential candidacy in 1992; if there's a third party movement to challenge Rudy Giuliani's nomination, it'll probably be born here, too.

One creepy loves another. So no wonder Romney is visiting them.

CNP is more representative of the fundamentalist Christian element of the conservative movement than the other groups you mention. More particularly, it represents fundamentalist Christians with money.

All you guys feeling so "creepy" ought to quit dropping acid so much, it'll go away.

Dick Cheney's going, too. I hear the party is BYOS - Bring Your Own Swastika.

It will be a great day when this entire pack of wacked-out Christianist scum are stripped of most of their power.

Throwing out unsubstantiated and childish statements like those above is a trademark of the uneducated left.

Congratulations, you all are poster children for the failed US education system.

The really sad thing is you are so addle that you do not see your comments accusing them of bigotry are riddled with bigotry.
