Annapolis Capital Punishment

CP has found an interesting tidbit in the unfolding McConkey story. See my previous post CP EXHIBITS SCHADENFREUDE FOR DELEGATE MCCONKEY'S WOES about Republican Delegate Tony McConkey's latest run in with the legal system concerning a real estate deal. According to The Capital, McConkey has been voluntarily disbarred and had his real estate broker's license revoked. I guess it does not stop him from being a lawmaker or deciding how to deal with our deficit during this special session

Here is what former candidate for delegate, lawyer and Republican activist Greg Kline has to say about McConkey on his still-active campaign website http://klinefordelegate.blogspot.com/

"I want to congratulate my running mate Delegate Tony McConkey for being the top vote getter in the race. Despite the nasty attacks on him by cowards who hid in the shadows, the voters on Tuesday recognized what I have known for years, Tony is a principled conservative leader and we are privileged to have him as our Delegate. I was proud to team up with him during this campaign and am honored to call him my friend."

Yeah, a real principled conservative leader all right. What's worse is that The Baltimore Sun even endorsed these guys in the last race:
“In what may be the county's most staunchly conservative district, Republicans should support incumbent Tony McConkey … and first-time candidate Greg Kline, a lawyer and former legal counsel to the county's Republican State Central Committee.” (excerpted from same website)

Kline has an inactive blog called The Conservative Refuge which he describes as:

"A safe place for conservative Republicans in Anne Arundel County Maryland to share views, get inside information and plot our way out of the wilderness."

District 33 is some wilderness! Geeze, he makes it seems as if he's some kind of fight-to-the-end survivalist. Hmmm......??? Well, he certainly does not appear to be a very good judge of character. Kline's active podcast spot is also called The Conservative Refuge
