. . . 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. . . .

Gottas be the same guy who "leaked" out the negative stuff about Sarah during and after the campaign. He just can't figure out the secret to winning. Keep it up Bub, the people in Arizona are listening as well.

I hope McCain loses to Simcox in the primaries.

Let’s trade in the opportunist for a conservative!

“Bad for us RINOS”, is what he means. Good for the GOP.

Not surprising since Mark McKinnon also worked for Jorge Bush.

Consider Juan Sidney one of those freaks who would never have been nominated in the face of true conservative leadership.

Mark should just go get a job as Peggy Noonan’s pool boy.

That is not surprising. They have deluded him into thinking that he will be one of the masters or at least an overseer. He has no clue that he will end up as one of the inmates and eventually a lampshade or bar of soap. But he will learn soon enough. Kinda like the ACORN workers did.

Maybe he would learn something from her now that she is groveling at the feet of conservatives to be let back in.

Two Democrats who perversely choose to put (Republican) next to their names, and showing why the GOP is such an unmitigated disaster:

keep calling us nujobs, racists, nut-balls, extremists... or whatever you want.

People are becoming aware of your tactics of trying to minimize us.

Anyone watch southpark? This is all like a typical comment from officer Barbrady..... "Nothing to see here people, cows turn themselves inside-out all the time".

However, denial will not lead to survival of the liberal in the next election. All of those "nut-jobs" you keep pointing to?... they are in large part, your constituents. Every time you stand up and accuse them of being part of some large corporate sponsored group of idiots, you offend your own base. They are standing there listening to you and are extremely offended that you are refusing to recognize the will of the people by writing them off. I assure you, ignoring us will not make it go away.

Keep it up. Your doing a great job of not only promoting the opposition, and at digging your own political grave... one shovel-full at a time.

(GRIN!) "Eschew" is a delicious fifty-cent word and I love it! Of the places in cyberspace I hang out, the mightiest English is spoken on the FRee Republic. Brilliant!
