(CNN) — Votes are still being counted in some states, but conservatives stinging from last night’s losses are planning to get together to plan the movement’s future — and so far, it doesn’t look like that vision includes John McCain.

McCain, who made a poorly-received appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference last year, was not included on a list of major movement figures invited to next year’s gathering e-mailed to supporters Wednesday morning. More than a dozen conservative leaders made the cut — including McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal have also been invited to address CPAC in February, along with McCain’s former primary season rivals Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.

1. When did Conservatives stop rewarding failure with greater responsibility? n/t

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

2. Ron Paul was invited?

This could get interesting.

[Redwraithvienna]

12. Well

Ron Paul & Palin talking about the future of the republican party.

Yes interesting is a nice word for that.

The same way its interesting to let two starved dogs fight for a steak ... one will win the other one will roll over. But they wont share.

3. Talk about a bag of mixed nuts!

That list of invitees pegged my whack-a-doo meter when I read it. McAnus should be proud to be persona non grata among that pack of assholes.

On edit: spelling

4. Do you get it, John?

The crazies you sold out for never wanted you around in the first place.

5. What about the "Hockey Mom"???

[CitizenPatriot]

6. CPAC

changing name to

Crazy Pwned Asshats Community? Or what? I don't get the guest list of losers (Ron Paul excluded). Is that really their plan? This country needs a viable 2nd party and even 3rd party -- not some fringey lunatic extremist party.

8. GOP Tradition... wounded soldiers... old people... sick.... DROP THEM..its a compassionate thing ?

[stpalmer]

9. I've got a new direction for them

Take the sticks out of their butts and start living up to the principles of the Republican Party--fiscal responsibility, protecting freedoms, etc... instead of the slash and burn all their candidates manage to cause. Oh, and start being truthful and honorable.

[amdezurik]

11. yeah, that will happen as soon as they live up to

the religion they all claim to believe in.
