Florida Republican Marco Rubio to keynote conservative conference in Washington D.C.
by Michael C. Bender | January 11th, 2010After a strong response to his speech last summer at the RedState Gathering, Marco Rubio will address the Conservative Political Action Conference, the nation’s largest annual meting of conservatives, Rubio’s campaign announced today.
Rubio, the former House speaker challenging Gov. Charlie Crist in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, will speak to the group on Feb. 18 in Washington D.C. The conference is expected to attract up to 10,000 attendees.
“Our cosponsors decided to invite Marco Rubio to keynote this year’s conference because like previous keynotes Mike Pence and Paul Ryan, he is an articulate representative of a new generation of conservative leaders who we believe will have an incredible impact on the movement and the nation in the years ahead,” CPAC 2010 Chairman David A. Keene said.
Other speakers include Andrew Brietbart, U.S. Reps. Thaddeus McCotter and Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty.

Why is Newt showing up?
Is he bringing Pelosi to sit beside him again in front of the US Capitol and look stupid, again, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi6n_-wB154) playing “Nice with Nasty Nancy” stupidly falling prey to Algore’s “Global Warming” scam and further infuriating REAL Conservatives???
Stay home, Newt. You became a RINO several years ago. What a loss to the Republican Party, but it was YOUR choice.
