CPAC chair: "Everyone needs to live by the parameters of the movement" explains why GOP guvs of NJ and VA were not invited

[^_^ 5,021]

American Conservative Union chairman Al Cardenas spoke briefly with reporters ahead of the beginning of the CPAC conference -- explaining why he didn't invite New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and insisting that the GOP is "not a home for everybody."

...

"This year, for better or for worse, we felt like, ah, like he didn't deserve to be on the all-star selection, ah, and, for decisions that he made. And so hopefully next year he's back on the right track and being a conservative," Cardenas said. "He's a popular figure, but everyone needs to live by the parameters of the movement."

Also not invited was Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, who recently signed a transportation bill that included new taxes.

Perhaps Cardenas needs to find another home.....

christie and mcdonnell both understand that compromises must be reached in order to make things happen. guess republicans don't want to be associated with such nonsense.

slavish conformity to the movement was a hallmark of old school communists.

communism is dead but the brain rotting virus lives on. it has simply changed hosts.

marching lockstep was a hallmark of the Nazi party.

Nazism is as dead as communism but the brain rotting virus lives on. it has simply changed hosts.
