Related: About this forumBill Maher And Panel Go After CPAC For Rejecting Chris Christie In Favor Of Gingrich And Palin
VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bill-maher-and-panel-go-after-cpac-for-rejecting-chris-christie-in-favor-of-gingrich-and-palin/
Bill Maher tonight took on the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference that panelist Steve Schmidt has previously likened to the bar scene in Star Wars. Maher pointed out that CPAC this year is supposedly about the future of the Republican party, but he asked if thats the case, why did they invite figures of the past like Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and Sarah Palin, while not inviting the widely popular Chris Christie.
Maher asked Schmidt about Christie not being invited despite the theme being Americas future.

Im reading their website, the next generation of conservatives, and they invite Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry. Thats the next generation?

(36,974 posts)3. Regarding the CPAC speakers ...
The LIST of the CPAC 2013 featured speakers, here: http://conservative.org/cpac/2013/
Of the 43 speakers
13 are female
Less than 10 are minorities
Remember that saying about 'you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig'.
The Repblicans are going to have to do more than have a dozen of female and minority speakers - they have to change their policies so that they reflect reality in our modern century.
