The recording revealed names of more than 28 individuals that have donated $1 million-plus to Koch-supported groups pushing anti-union and anti-regulation legislation all over the country.

Among the highest donors at the most recent secret retreat, guarded by private security, were:

The Templetons: John “Jack” Templeton Jr. and his wife, Josephine, of Pennsylvania, gave $50,000 apiece to Wisconsin Justice Prosser’s recount effort this year. Jack has donated more than $1 million to Republicans, according to state and federal records. He heads the conservative John Templeton Foundation, which aims to merge evangelical Christianity with “science” and “health.” The foundation was started by Jack’s father, Sir John the mutual fund billionaire, and in 2009 reportedly had $1.7 billion in assets.

Joe Craft: Joseph Craft is president, CEO, and chairman of Alliance Resource Partners, a coal company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that gave $2.4 million to outside political expenditure groups in 2010. His family is reportedly worth $1.9 billion.

The Farmers: Dick Farmer is from Ohio. The founder and former CEO of the Cintas Corporation, his story is literally rags-to-riches: He turned his father’s Depression-era rag-cleaning business into a $3.5 billion enterprise. Farmer and his wife, Joyce, are longtime Republican boosters; during the 2002 election cycle the couple gave about $1 million to the party.

The Schwabs: Charles Schwab of San Francisco is founder and chairman of the Charles Schwab Corporation, the country’s largest independent brokerage firm. He is reportedly worth $4.7 billion. Since 1989, Schwab has donated more than $1.6 million to political causes, mostly Republican, according toOpenSecrets.org. Part of that went to his company’s lobbying arm, which has given away millions more.

McLeroy moved that Margaret Sanger, the birth-control pioneer, be included because she “and her followers promoted eugenics,” that language be inserted about Ronald Reagan’s “leadership in restoring national confidence” following Jimmy Carter’s presidency and that students be instructed to “describe the causes and key organizations and individuals of the conservative resurgence of the 1980s and 1990s, including Phyllis Schlafly, the Contract With America, the Heritage Foundation, the Moral Majority and the National Rifle Association.” The injection of partisan politics into education went so far that at one point another Republican board member burst out in seemingly embarrassed exasperation, “Guys, you’re rewriting history now!” Nevertheless, most of McLeroy’s proposed amendments passed by a show of hands.

Last night, McLeroy narrowly lost the Republican primary for another term on the board to challenger Thomas Ratcliff, while his ally Geraldine Miller lost her seat to another first-time candidate. No Democrats are running for these seats, which means the moderate Republicans who ousted McLeroy and Miller will take their places on the board.

On Thursday, Breitbart and Marc Morano — the latter of ClimateDepot — will accept the Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Award, sponsored by AIM, at a mid-afternoon reception. On Friday, the religious conservative XPAC — a tangentially related event that’s drawing in some CPAC attendees — will “recognize and award” Giles and O’Keefe.

Not going to the ACORN stingers: CPAC Blogger and Journalist of the Year Awards, for which online voting was held last month. Of the Breitbart-Giles-O’Keefe trio, only Breitbart was a nominee — for Journalist. But the winners were Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com (Blogger) and Ronald Kessler of Newsmax.com (Journalist). Still up in the air: the actual CPAC awards, including the Ronald Reagan and Defender of the Constitution Awards (not picked yet, awarded at a Friday night banquet).

New to the poll this year: Gov. Haley Barbour (R-Miss.), Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-Ind.), Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), and Rick Santorum.

People who appeared on last year’s ballot but have been cut this year: Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.), Gov. Charlie Crist (R-Fla.), and — for obvious reasons — Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.).

CPAC straw poll ballot:

Haley Barbour

Mitch Daniels

Newt Gingrich

Mike Huckabee

Sarah Palin

Ron Paul

Undecided

- Only 24 percent of Republicans say that ACORN definitely did not “steal the 2008 election.” Twenty-one percent say the community group did; 55 percent are unsure.

- Thirty-one percent of Republicans say President Obama is “a racist who hates white people.” Thirty-six percent disagree; the rest aren’t sure.

- Twenty-three percent of Republicans want their states to secede from the union. In the South, it’s 33 percent.

- Only eight percent of Republicans say that “openly gay men and women [should] be allowed to teach in public schools.”

In every case, the more anti-Obama, conservative results come from Republicans in the South.

Bachmann announced a threefold strategy: “Number one, we have to defeat [the Democratic] leadership. … We’ll have that opportunity next year to do exactly that.” Second, “defund the left. … The American people believe that Congress wastes 50 percent — 50 cents or 50 percent of every dollar it spends. God love the American people. They get it.” Finally, she wants to pass “repealer bill[s]” to dismantle the work of the Democratic Congress.

It’s possible that Graham was already off for the day (though that isn’t indicated at WTKK’s site), but the slot could have been filled by a like-minded host and wasn’t.

True, the site doesn’t say anything. But I called WTKK today to talk to Graham, who’s a good authority on Massachusetts politics, and found out that he’s … out of the country all week. Some scandal.

Cook volunteered for duty in Afghanistan, then asked for a stay until the president proved that he was an American citizen, then acted surprised when his deployment was canceled. While Lt. Com. William Speaks, a spokesman for CentCom, has debunked Taitz’s conspiracy theories about the court defeat—she has repeatedly and falsely claimed that the military cancelled the deployment because it couldn’t authenticate the president’s citizenship—Hayworth showed no signs of skepticism whatsoever.

Isn’t this difficult for you to say, I’ll continue to bring cases that could concievably undermine national security? Or is the shoe on the other foot with Sec. Gates and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, with their unwillingness to go into court, to be involved in discovery, to really deal with the eligibility of the commander-in-chief?

Hayworth sounded stunned that Cook’s deployment had been cancelled, “rather than the Department of Defense taking up and saying, well, here is the eligibility of the commander.” Like Sean Hannity, he opted for Taitz’s version of the story over CentCom’s, telling listeners that the result “certainly could be characterized as a victory for Maj. Cook and Dr. Orly Taitz.” And he closed the interview by sympathetically asking Taitz if she feared “an atmosphere of intimidation” coming at her from the White House.

But what also shouldn’t come as a surprise is Republicans pretending like the resolution represents a massive departure from the administration’s rhetoric, either. Nowhere in the resolution does it actively support any side or party in Iran, as the administration has refused to do, and every word about human rights is commensurate with what President Obama has said himself. It’s ludicrous for, say, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) to say that Obama should “follow the lead of this House” in supporting a resolution that passed because of White House intervention. But this is a stunt for House Republicans to demonstrate their relevance and use the demonstrations as a cudgel against Obama. It should be fairly clear from all the bloviations about Ronald Reagan defeating the Soviet Union by sheer force of will that the GOP doesn’t care about the prospect of U.S. intervention being counterproductive for the Iranian opposition. Indeed, if the regime cracks down on the protesters over the next several days, watch to see Republicans and conservatives lining up to say it’s because Obama didn’t take a stronger stand, whatever that means.

Still, the Obama administration made its bed by working with the resolution. Adam Blickstein at Democracy Arsenal says to expect several days’ worth of self-congratulatory GOP rhetoric pretending that Obama hasn’t said what he’s said or intervened to pass the resolution.
