Thread: CPAC: Crowd full of McCain Plants?

Well, Well, Well.... Its looks like a large majority of the crowd at CPAC for the McCain speech were McCain supports. Video and pictures at link below.

Video: McCain at CPAC–not quite The Uniter yet
By Michelle Malkin • February 7, 2008 05:30 PM

I sat in the back of the ballroom for McCain’s speech. Here’s a short vid clip that gives you a sense of the mix of boos and cheers. The other half of the room also had a front-loaded contingent of McCain supporters and a back-loaded chorus of booers. (Update: Added more photos below.)

One thing I noted was that the crowd included a much larger continent of older attendees than the other sessions. A significant number of anti-McCain people didn’t make it into the room. One attendee told me the overflow room was raucously, anti-McCain–with only a handful of pro-McCain folks.

McCain repeatedly stressed his gratitude for the speaking opportunity and referred to his differences with conservatives in almost every other sentence.

I don’t think a CPAC speaker has ever stressed his differences so many times before the conservative base–not even Sam Donaldson!

I respect his decision to stand in the lion’s den, and I agreed with much of the speech. I found myself nodding as he touted his opposition to ethanol subsidies, national catastrophic insurance, and the Medicare prescription drug benefit. But I don’t for a minute buy his claim that he “respects the oppositionâ€

Less talk, more action

Agree with this. It will take alot more than just a few platitudes. I still don't trust McCain.

One difference McCain said in his speech today is that there would have to be "widespread consensus" on border security before he moved onto other matters (i.e., amnesty).

Previously he said there would be 'certification' from border governors or something similar.

But what is 'widespread consensus'??

McCain has a LONG way to go. We need specific promises & concessions etc. not just rhetoric.

Just certification from 4 open borders pro amnesty governors isn't going to do it for me

Neither is deal with the 12-20 million AFTER the borders are secured

I need concrete and very detailed plans of just exactly what
will be done with them before , during and after the borders are
certified sealed by "independant" sources besides open borders
reconquista governors

McCain will never get my vote , because he will never agree to these terms

McCain appears to have backed away from cert by guvs, now talking about 'widespread consensus.'

But what is widespread consensus?? Who is the consensus?? La Raza or FAIR??

His first step to reunite the party to me would be to publicly get rid of Juan the Mexican government's spin doctor.

So right on that thought . But still not nearly enough to get my vote . I thought for sure McAmnesty would mention Juan in the cpac speech . Gee he must be holding , or hiding his agenda !
