. . . 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. . . .

Well, one only can hope this fellow, Mark M, is running Juan’s re-election effort. When, hopefully, Juan loses, maybe Mark can get Juan to hire him as a personal assistant paid for with Juan’s second wealthy wife’s inheritance.
Stay out the McCain!
LLS
Hey, Mark!!!!! Take a hike!
The ‘sour grapes crowd’ from the sorry excuse for a campaign for McCain should start their own party and call it the RINO PARTY!
Worse the any dem I know, why? You can fight with much vigor your enemies outside and external, but it's a completely arduous and enormous task to try and rid those enemies from within!
This is what the conservative republican party is facing and if conservative's do not regain power from these rino prix and totally reinforce conservative viewpoints, the repubs will remain a minority party!
“digging your own political grave... one shovel-full at a time.”
One of the shovel-ready projects obama promised? :)
Yes we are nutballs enough to think that the Constitution and believing in America still matters.
...and if the RNC wants to keep the primaries open and assist another RINO like McCain or any other mealey mouthed POS....by God and country I swear I will stay home and let that Socialist punk Obama have four more years.
Conservative or bust.
This is an essential part of the entire RINO line now, and certainly in the immediate past, like the previous campaign, AND the Election, and it is ENTIRELY the mindset that got them defeated. It could NOT HELP BUT get them defeated! The ONLY thing the McCain camp did of any value was give us Sarah Palin, but the way it gave us Sarah Palin was to introduce her and then ‘neuter’ her, doing exactly HALF the work the Democrats were ready to do. This is another way of “extending your hand across the aisle” I suppose. At this point it DEFINES exactly what has been wrong with the Republican Party and the man it chose last time to represent it, John McCain. I REPEAT: SARAH PALIN was chosen by them and exploited in the most cynical way, because they knew it would get McCain votes. IT DID.
His ticket lost anyway,and would have lost WORSE if Palin was not the Veep choice. I hold Mc Cain and his campaign accountable and responsible for exploiting her , manipulating her, and eventually attempting to render her into the same non-entity status that McCain has now achieved. And, where, oh where, has this most pathetic of “opposition candidates” been since the beginning of this disastrous Presidency, except hovering in the background letting his daughter and Mark McKinnon make these inane statements to the Press?
Let’s see he an ex-advisor to one of the more pitifully run campaigns on record.
I am really going to clear out my day’s activities just to pay close attention to this “sage”-—not.
You have to understand the subtext, “Palin cannot win”. Nor can she be found to have been right during the campaign.
Sarah could easily step in and lead the Tea Party Patriots, Juan cannot lead a bathroom brigade. Juan has tried several times in recent months to be the party leader and failed miserably. We just aren’t going to be led by McCain .
Look at what Network he is on. This is not about Democrats, it is about corruption and cronyism. McCain fits in well with cronyism. He needs to go with all the rest.
We are dealing with a failed government not a problem with capitalism.
And don’t forget: “eschew” is pronounced “es-keeyoo”, NOT
“es-chew”, as in “chew gum”.
If anyone associated with the McCain campaign is considered a top Republican strategist, then future candidates need to purge the old party strategists and find some new ones.
Where are all these moderates speaking out against big government???
Silence, sometimes could, and would, be golden from these idiots.
I don’t think Juan is corrupt, he has enough of his wife’s money to not need anymore ... But I do think he is a crony, as much as anybody is, of the pointed headed elites who are trying to collapse our civil society.
Good point — yes the station ID is all you need to know.
2010 et.seq. The year of the PURGE!
Maybe someone with the untold story of the Keating 5 scandal will finally spill the beans before next October insuring the ouster of Juan.
Good point. McKinnon and the "Forehead" are running neck and neck for advising losers!
