I used to go to every event and now I just throw the invitations away. Why? I got tired of a few folks controlling everything and everyone. Ideas weren't debated: it was either you are with us or against us. (Us being the ICA/ITR crowd). Republicans are boring, old, stale and it makes me tired. We need candidates we can believe in again: the fake piety and litmus tests are not working.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-18226143480377328902008-06-04T17:33:00.000-05:002008-06-04T17:33:00.000-05:00The SCC won't be anything and the party won't be f...The SCC won't be anything and the party won't be fixed until we get rid of those that are in it only for their own personal power - Iverson and Kearny come to mind - and NOT for actually winning elections.<BR/><BR/>I recall the little keggar explaining how the best fundraiser was one where no one came - just checks in the mail.<BR/><BR/>We now have reaped what that theory sowed. <BR/><BR/>RPI had 500 people at their main dinner.

He sucks. He can't find candidates, he can't fund the ones that come forward and he can't create a message. He's the leader that led us into this vast republican wasteland where we go further and further into the minority. <BR/><BR/>How does he sleep at night. <BR/><BR/>You fault the SCC?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-4152356069037401492008-06-04T17:00:00.000-05:002008-06-04T17:00:00.000-05:00thank you, i do have quite a wise ass.so you think...thank you, i do have quite a wise ass.<BR/><BR/>so you think there's enough money in the pot then huh? that the SCC doesn't need to get off their asses and start being proactive? i mean, cause going to county meetings across the districts, racking up huge ass mileage expenses is sure to win back seats in the Legislature, Governor, Pres, etc etc etc.<BR/><BR/>i agree that there are some fundamental problems w/ the party, but i think they don't get fixed until the SCC is made into something worthwhile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-78100269297904464492008-06-04T16:39:00.000-05:002008-06-04T16:39:00.000-05:00It matters because we have a party that's rotten t...It matters because we have a party that's rotten to the core.<BR/><BR/>The wise ass above that says Killer should raise money-what do we pay Kearny (almost $100,000) Peterson, ($30+) and Iverson ($40+, and another $40-50 in expenses) for if it isn't to raise money? They raise enough to pay their salaries and give some payoff to their cronies, and that's it. It sure isn't to create a Republican message, create strategic or even annual election plans, competently run conventions or elect Republicans.<BR/><BR/>Its the broken window theory. RPI isn't going to fix its big problems until it fixes its little problems first. The Kelly thing is just an example of the incest that goes on in Des Moines and I for one am glad Sporer finally had the courage to start calling out some of it.<BR/><BR/>I heard Sporer speak at one of our county meetings late last year and he sounded great-had a plan and fired people up. Iverson was here a couple of weeks ago and he looks like a hick (which did fit in) and sounds like a clown with that phony laugh and the lines out of a 1992 campaign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-84386863819401491672008-06-04T13:25:00.000-05:002008-06-04T13:25:00.000-05:00Sporer "Ted" Agnew:Who was your choice to receive ...Sporer "Ted" Agnew:<BR/><BR/>Who was your choice to receive this award?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30015942.post-64645764035204328122008-06-04T09:00:00.000-05:002008-06-04T09:00:00.000-05:00Who cares?

I do not care - right is right and wrong is wrong. This is wrong.<BR/><BR/>Phyllis needs to give it back until it has been done right.
