. . . Mark McKinnon, a former adviser to Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) and other Republicans, said there is an "opportunity for Republicans" to tap into legitimate fears about an overreaching federal government. But he said that "right-wing nutballs are aligning themselves with these movements" and are dominating media coverage.

"It's bad for Republicans because in the absence of any real leadership, the freaks fill the void and define the party," McKinnon said. . . .

Exactly what I have been saying about McCain for years.

Worse! McKinnon quit the McCain campaign when Obama got the nomination before Sarah was chosen — like a few months before.

And don’t forget: “eschew” is pronounced “es-keeyoo”,
NOT
“es-chew”, as in “chew gum”.

eschew |esˈ ch oō|
verb [ trans. ]
deliberately avoid using; abstain from :
he appealed to the crowd to eschew violence.

McKinnon’s worried that his nutball (McCain) is losing air-time. McCain is a blithering idiot. Let’s hope we can rid ourselves of his crap soon.

Years ago the Communists set as one of their goals to take over one or both major political parties in the USA. They have taken over the Democrats and are making progress in the Republican Party by using these “political consultants” who keep insisting that we water down our conservative principles so as to attract the mushy middle whom they call moderates.

Not since Reagan, and rarely before him, have we had a choice between a true conservative and a true liberal. We know the Democrat candidate will be a liberal. Now, if we can find a true conservative who will ignore these traitors-in-our-midst-political-consultants and run his/her own campaign I think we will have a real chance.

Sarah sure fits the bill but there are also others.

To hell with McCain and anyone who supports him...

I voted for Bullwinkle and left the Republican party after McCain was nominated. The RNC has Democrat moles infiltrating the national party machine.

If the GOP can't come up with someone better than McCain, Julie-Annie or Huckabee, they can continue to be the losers they deserve to be.

The base had already bailed and it was a desperation move. The only problem is he didn’t cunt on being upstaged.
