Two things they weren't discussing at CPAC

Wonder why they didn't have any panel discussions at this year's C-CRAP convention concerning....

The fact that as of right now, if Hillary Clinton decides to run for President in 2016, republicans may not see the White House until 2024, by which time Texas might well be blue, in which case, I may go the rest of my life without seeing a republican in the White House (oh, please make it so, Miss Hillary!).  Kudos, though, to Mitch McConnell, for comparing a Hillary campaign in 2016 to a rerun of The Golden Girls.  Because nothing garners the female vote like making fun of women for being older.  Do you suppose potential staffers for a Hillary Clinton Presidential campaign in 2016 and an Ashley Judd Senate campaign against Dolt McConnell in 2014 were drooling over that comment being on an endless loop during their possible campaigns?  I know I would be.

The second is that each and every month 100,000 seniors (60% of whom vote republican) die, and 67,000 Latinos (70% of whom vote Democratic) turn 18.  Those are some seriously ugly demographics for republicans, and unless they can figure out a way to a) keep people from being born, and b) keep people from dying (and good luck with both of those) there doesn't seem to be a lot of hope for the future of the party.

Needless to say, emaycee won't be throwing any pity parties for republicans anytime soon.

Poppin' Palin's bubblehead

The republican party has massive problems with women voters, non-white voters, and young voters--all of whom have many issues of importance to them--and at their yearly C-CRAP circle jerk they put Antoinette darling Sarah Palin on stage and she wants to make a big show of...fucking soda pop, specifically, the recent ban in New York City that was overturned by the courts.

In  nation suffering massive unemployment, sequestration cuts that are going to seriously affect the poor and the middle class, a debt crisis, and ever lowered living standards, Sarah Palin shows her irrelevance (and by extension, the republican party's) by discussing an issue that few people outside of the soda industry itself give two shits about.  I'm sure it got quite the cheer from the clueless 30% of Americans who call themselves conservatives (generally the same folks who believe humans and dinosaurs co-existed), but the rest of America had to have been scratching their heads and wondering, "I'm supposed to give a shit Sarah Palin took a sip from a soda cup because...?"

Whatever message Americans might have taken from the yearly conservative gathering (admittedly, not much anyway) will now be pushed back to page two thanks to a piss poor attempt at humor.  All a majority of Americans will remember is Sarah Palin sucking soda through a straw.

Well done, madame.  Bravo!
