CPAC closed out the day session yesterday with Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) speaking. He started off by mentioning he is “the other Paul”, and that Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) is a Packers fan, and saying that it’s halftime. He went on to point out that there is now a conservative majority in the House (side note – while he was speaking, the House leadership announced that the return to FY2008 non-security discretionary spending levels would not be pro-rated).
Ryan also noted that the voters back in November want a battle for a singular idea – the American idea. He noted there is a basic difference in the world view between conservatives and liberals.
The quality may not be the greatest (once again, I didn’t hook into the multibox), and I’m sure there’s better quality versions of the speech, but I’ll offer up my copy anyway – CLICK FOR THE RYAN SPEECH
Just before Ryan took the stage, talk-show host and (likely) 2012 Presidential candidate Herman Cain stopped by the Blogger’s Lounge. Instead of covering former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, we decided to ask a few questions. CLICK FOR THE HERMAN CAIN AUDIO
