Robert Novak: "John McCain's team that is taking over the Republican Party has decided on Bobbie Greene Kilberg, a liberal Republican from Virginia long detested by conservatives, to run the party's national convention in St. Paul, Minn., in August." - UPDATE: "Politico.com" - "A McCain aide says that Kilberg has not been tapped to run the convention and is only serving as a liasion with the RNC. McCain has not decided yet on who will run the convention, said this source." http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0308/This_will_get_GOP_insiders_a_buzzin.html

Hey McCain, you dumbf#_k libtard R-INO Reagan wannabe. We know you don’t give two or even one sh!t for us conservatives. We know you wouldn’t deign to read a conservative website such as Free Republic. But maybe one of your staff just might, maybe on the basis of “know your enemy.” Well, to you, Mr. or Mrs. low level shlub, please pass on this message.

McCain, we will vote for and even contribute to your campaign because we believe Clinton and Obama are truly dangerous. But even we have our limits. Keep kicking us in the teeth, and we will give up on you. Get it? I hope so.

[Luke21]

Just wait until after he’s elected. He’ll make Bush look like Jesse Helms.

[Anti-Hillary]

I hope they hear you!

[piytar]

Just re-read that, and saw something I’m ashamed of. Shouldn’t have done it. What am I talking about?

I mispelled “schlub” as “shlub.” Sorry.

“We” will vote for McNasty? Who said I’d vote for McLame? Oh, you mean 70% of freepers...Okay, then. I’m a proud member of the 30% who won’t.

Say, did you see how McJerk had to have Lieberman, our good conservative friend from the other side, hold his hand when he trekked over to Israel? He looked REAL presidential, I’d say. Real presidential...

[Captainpaintball]

Maybe we DON’T wish to keep our republic, Mr. Franklin!

With all due respect, I will never vote fot this border blurring traitor. We do all have our limits with this man. Mine was Juan Hernandez. That's one Juan too many.

[Perchant]

It shows how destroyed conservatism is within the GOP that we can't even have a voice at the RNC. Howard Dean gets the DNC as a consolation prize but conservatives get nothing with the Republicans.

Someone like Tancredo or Hunter needs to step up and bury the dead and rotting elephant corpse with an independent run.

The North Vietnamese ruined his mind. McCain was always wild and spoiled and cratered a few aircraft. He’s the same at age 71. He behaved honorably as a POW. And that was the highlight of his career in public service

McCain = wild & crazy liberal

[Vision]

It seems that way.

[dennisw]

Rush and Glenn Beck mispronounce it all the time. I got the Yiddish straight from horses mouth and it is.... jshloub

[ZULU]

This guy had better watch himself. He’s skating on EXTREMELY thin ice with his constituency.

If he starts pandering to the liberal RINOS at this stage, its time to dump the Republican PArty and leave it twisting in the wind.

[mathluv]

I just sent a note to the RNC - no money from me. My money will go to individuals who are also conservative. None to those who do not support conservative values.

[Petronski]

Your horse speaks Yiddish? I say neigh neigh.

[Ben Ficklin]

McCain already knows you wouldn’t vote for him even if he bent over and kissed your rear-end on the steps First Baptist Church.

LOL! You sound like a battered wife. “If you beat me one more time I’m leaving”! I’ve already given up on McCain. Rumor is that Bob Barr will run, maybe on the Libertarian ticket. He’ll get my vote.

[surrey]

As an aside. Did anyone see or hear Lincoln Chafee,on Chrissy’s show, call himself a conservative Republican? I nearly threw dinner at the tv.

Yep. That was a "Ransom of Red Chief" moment for the North Vietnamese. McCain, the unruly little offshoot of an impossibly great man, was a bad boy from his cradle. To counter his father's long shadow, he cast a long independent streak.

Whether the Lord was testing McCain, or the Devil was, in the childhood, the Academy, the saloons, the crashes and the captivity, it's safe to conclude McCain fought to a draw with a supernatural Power. No one beats him for sheer cussedness in the bantam class of bad boy.

And yes, there is much to admire in the convergence of such a man and such a series of experiences. Will I vote for him? Hell no, redacted for real profanity.

[Leisler]

There never was a conservative GOP. It's always been a big government, liberal party. Reagan was a post Nixon aberration and conservatives were/are delusional in thinking that even in the GOP that Reagan had fundamentally changed the elitist, power worshiping, money trading Washington loving, fly over country hating GOP.
