CPAC Snubs Christie!

The bromance is too much for conservatives. The annual CPAC convention keeps Republican New Jersey governor Chris Christie off their headliner list.

The Republican Party is in a civil war within itself. Many Republicans are fearing that they'll lose the House majority if they continue their infighting. The New Jersey governor Chris Christie is rising in his job approval. As the Republican governor of a deeply blue state, he handled a major crisis so effectively, his major opponents decided to not run against him. It's too risky for a Democratic candidate to take on a governor.

In late October, Hurricane Sandy roared through the Mid-Atlantic coast. It managed to hit the New Jersey shore and destroyed the lives of thousands (if not millions) of Americans. Christie throw aside his opposition with President Barack Obama and worked with him to get things done.

Christie embracing of President Barack Obama may have destroyed the perennial loser Mitt Romney. The Republicans were furious at Christie and blamed him for the loss.

Christie is being snubbed by the Conservative Political Action Conference. The headliner of previous years, the New Jersey governor was not invited to this year's event. Instead CPAC brings in the washed up politicians like perennial loser Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, and Allen West.

Headliners include Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin). Each of these individuals are potential candidates for the Republican presidential nomination.

While some praised the decision to not invite Christie, many Republicans fear that the snub could expose a deep rift between the Republicans.

What more can a Republican do?

Most Republicans held their ground during the Obamacare debate. They've stalled the Chuck Hagel nomination as much as they've could. The former Republican senator has become the new Secretary of Defense today.

Republicans had a huge problem with the voters. The voters figured that Republicans are too extreme and are out of touch with the direction of the country.

Christie basically ignored the snub. He responded with: "It's not like I'm lacking for invitations to speak around the country."
CPAC is the gathering of extremists and racists.
CPAC also has in attendance David Keene and Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association, Saratoga Springs, Utah mayor Mia Love, Senator Tim Scott (R-South Carolina), Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire), Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania), Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky).

Some conservative groups were also snubbed. MSNBC/Blaze TV agitator S.E. Cupp opted out of the CPAC event because of her support of the GOProud.

The GOProud group are a bunch of gay Republicans that favors same sex marriage. That group is usually banned from CPAC because of its staunch stance to LGBT activism.
