"*SNARL* *GRUMBLE* YOU'LL DRINK IT AND YOU'LL LIKE IT, FILTHY CONSERVATIVE!!"

I arrived at CPAC this morning around 10:30, the first thing I noticed was several buses from out of town with young McCain supporters taking talking points from old persons.
As I milled around for nearly 2 hours, even did a segement with G.Gordon Liddy. McCain's supports roved the floor after Vice President Cheney's Speech, trying to sale McCain as "A true Conservative and a vote against McCain means a lost of appointments to the federal bench and a chance to work with open minded Democrats!" several operatives tried a number of times to sale me on this point and that McCain is the candidate that can bring all of us together, right!!!
I also noticed that several RLC and Republican groups also had tables at CPAC and were also trying to sale McCain as well.
With all this being said, I can assure you that when the media is trying to sale you on MCCain getting a warm welcome at CPAC, that the room will be filled with his 1,000-2,000 supporters he had bussed or driven in and why do you think he waited to 3pm to give his so-called speech?
Lady Astor: (to Sir Winston) If YOU were my husband, I’d poison you tea!
Sir Winston: If YOU were my wife, I’d DRINK IT!................
I’m not drinking that brand of kool-aid. Not gonna do it.
Ron Paul is supposed to speak at 4:30 - will you be there? I’d love a first hand report even if you are not a fan.
Let them go win their election without us icky right wingers. I got better things to do with my time and money then campaign for Democrat Lite.
Is he bussing in an audience to applaud him?
Curious. Don't attendees have to pay fees to get in and be registered? Or is the speech open to the public? Will people who are registered be unable to find a spot because of the shills? If so, we may be seeing CPAC allowing itself to be turned into a campaign event for a liberal. Oh well. This just proves that even organizations, explicitly conservative, can become liberal over time.
McLame at CPAC, it’s kinda uncomfortable, like having a burgler enter your home and handle all your personal stuff, kinda creepy.
Thanks for the update TBM. What was it like during the Romney speech? Didn’t get to hear it.
Heard something on FOX a minute ago. I guess Pat Robertson’s group was going to interview McCain. McCain was extremely nasty to one of Robertson’s guys but was all smiles 2 seconds later when the cameras turned on. Waiting for a print news report about it.
"*SNARL* *GRUMBLE* YOU'LL DRINK IT AND YOU'LL LIKE IT, FILTHY CONSERVATIVE!!"
That the whole problem Senator McCain. You do not work with open minded Democrats, your record is that you habitually surrender to the close minded ones.
And, he gets to bring his gang along who will cheer him on.
Never mind my last question...DUH, I got the answer. I’m a little slow today.
I hope you have a trash bag full of rotten lettuce to throw at him.
Last year McCain hated CPAC. I guess he has changed.
I will only donate money directly to the candidates, and I will send a photocopy of my check to the RNC with a note explaining why I will not donate to the RNC ever again.
From the Right, Both Acceptance and Distrust of McCain
And a FR thread from 2005:
Then have the entire audience march out as he arrives on stage!
Also, wish Smitty and the gang would have arranged to have the caged POW they use on Memorial Day to be carried in as the "speech" begins.
Thanks for the firsthand account TBM. It wouldn’t surprise me if there are nothing but McCainiacs in the crowd by the time he speeks. I suppose nobody will know the difference.
From the Right, Both Acceptance and Distrust of McCain
And a FR thread from 2005:
“a vote against McCain means”
Doesn’t matter,
any Democrat will beat him,
the MSM favorable glow will dissolve,
he will be cast as a hero, but too bad he’s too old,
he’s the same on wage depression/immigration and cap and trade, the big money behind both parties right now,
but you wouldn’t know it from the MSM
for example the meme on immigration bill opponents is that they merely oppose “a path to citizenship.” Point out cap and trade one gets flung back as if oppose clean energy.
McCain is the ultimate corporate “conservative”, he mixes the National Chamber of Commerce social engineering for profit with the Democrat’s finance capital scams such as cap and trade.
Thanks for the report Kevin....
Who would have thought CPAC would become the belly of the beast?
I figured this was going to happen. The thought makes me CPAC sick.
Great report. Thanks. This whole charade begs the question—if the McCainiacs are so convinced he can win with moderate and independent votes, why is he even bothering to go to CPAC?
Sorry for the double post....got a proxy error back.... so I hit enter again....
McCain is what everybody became disgusted with Clintonism.... alllll about him...
I figured this was going to happen. The thought makes me CPAC sick.
Why do I feel so “together” right now?
It wouldn’t have dawned on me to bring that up, but it sure is fitting. Way to go. LMAO from here... yet it’s not really a laughing matter is it.
Thanks for the report!
Previous threads said that CPAC staffers were telling attendees not to boo when McCain gives his speech.
Please keep us informed!
Wish I was there too!
It doesn’t matter what he does. He will NEVER get my vote. NEVER. I’m writing in Fred Thompson.
Thanks for the report.
I sure hope he gets a lot of CPAC snap back when he gets up there.
Boos a plenty from here in spirit...
After I heard that I left like many other Conservatives, pretty much now his speech will have his supporters and roll over-n-make nice Republicans.
Your information supports my assumptions that the Convention and all the apparatus of the Blue Bloods has all been given to McCain.
The only thing left for me is to see if there will be anything I need to vote against on my State ballot, and if not, I will stay home and eat spicy chicken wings and drink some brew while I enjoy the show.
I STILL WON'T SUPPORT McCAIN!!!
Grab your checkbooks, and keep them closed.
NOT ONE PENNY!!!, will be our battle call.
Conservatives care about the United States so much ...
that they're willing to DEFEAT McCain to save the nation!!!
McCain needs to wake up and smell the "VILE"!!!
"Bipartisanship" Is A Dirty Word; and RUSH: "We want to defeat them"
THIS IS WAR!!!
The only LEADERSHIP we have is RUSH!!!
As if Teddy Kennedy and Russ Feingold are "open-minded Democrats"...
I am writing in Allan Keyes in November.
I heard the famous McCain temper was directed at one of his staff members, but the two-faced nature of McCain is not in dispute. He suffered all those years in prison and now he think's he has a right to give us a little hell.
Unfortunately for him, he’s going to be following a class act—Romney.
MCcain in now the Republican nominee,watch the old media turn on him like a pack of wild dogs.
They got what they hoped for,a Republican nominee that has no chance of winning in November.
The old media will now be free to try and help the dems destroy MCcain.
Hey John,when you lie with dogs.....
and a chance to work with open minded Democrats!”
As if Teddy Kennedy and Russ Feingold are “open-minded Democrats”...
I’s say most liberals are mindless....
Keep up the on-site reportage!
I think it is hilarious that McLame has to bus in supporters to CPAC! I hope there is video!
A true leader would make Democrats work with HIM!
Oh no! We need you and the other Conservatives to be there!
Somebody needs to boo him!
Oh no we can’t boo him we have been told, so with that I left.
Maybe McCain will take a cue from actor Jack Palance and will do one of those one handed push-ups to convince us he’s not so old. Then again Jack Palance is now dead, aint he.
The media won’t turn on McCain until after the convention and everything is positively in place.
Good report TBM....
