Would the downside of giving money to Colorado Springs Republicans be outweighed by MIC checking the Anti-government psychosis of Grover Norquist:
The El Paso County Republicans are incapable of throwing a par-tay, even in honor of the greatest Republican who ever played father to a chimp, without kicking off some sort of internal squabble, protest, riot, flame war, or party purging.
Into the fray comes this latest missive:
Dear El Paso County Republicans:
There has been much controversy surrounding the Reagan Gala and its guest speaker Grover Norquist. It is my responsibility to investigate these matters and decide the best course of action as I fulfill my obligations as Vice-Chairman. It is also my duty to be honest and straight forward with the republicans (sic) that elected me.
After being presented with much information and conducting my own meticulous research I have decided that I cannot, in good conscience, attend the Reagan Gala on November 12th, 2011. I say this not to condemn our local party, but rather to affirm my own personal integrity. At best, Grover Norquist has too many leftist, radical Islamic ties that make him a poor choice to be honored at one of our events. In my opinion, his associations and dealings bring into question his commitment to our conservative ideals and beliefs. Love how the El Paso County Republican Party Vice-Chair gives the Freudian slip to capitalizing his party's name.
Love even more how Grover Norquist is called a "leftist" by a Springs Repub -- Only in Colorado.
The thrill of MIC checking this creep would be sublime. But no, I will not be giving one red cent to El Paso County Republicans. No how, no way, Jose........
And P.S. to Democrats who are witnessing this intra-party frack-up: There are many Colorado independents who do think Grover Norquist is a lefty. I hope those are not the independents you are constantly striving to impress, because I'm not so sure you understand the difference among Colorado's self-described political free-marketeers. |
