GOP illegally silencing Tea Parties

The Republican State Central Committee in Illinois is instructing its County Chairmen to illegally stack the deck against Tea Party reformers in the March 3rd elections...

[Free Vulcan]

The National Committee people who are elected at their state conventions pick the National chairman.

I think but am not sure that each state gets one National Committeeman and one National Committeewoman.

[TADSLOS]

I’m tired of GOP whining about a 3rd party threat when they themselves are the reason the threat exists in the first place.

Amen, brother. A bunch of frikkin' fear mongering, business as usual statists.

Care to comment on this story, considering your prior assertion that the GOP primaries would be run fair and square?

Republican State Central Committee

Damn, they even SOUND Socialist! Illinois, home of 0ero. Go figure.

[4Godsoloved..Hegave]

Illinois republicans have been corrupt for many years. They suck just a little less than the Illinois democrats. The average Illinois voters and people have given up on changing politics. It may take them longer to change things as any opposition will meet thuggery. My guess, they will need some reinforcement and help from other tea party people.

State GOP Central Committeeman Ruperto “Bob” Alejandro (District 4)
Posted: March 21, 2009

Alejandro was selected as a member of the State Central Committee in 2006.

Alejandro formerly worked for the town of Cicero under former President Betty-Loren Maltese as a community project director. Maltese was sentenced to eight years in federal prison on corruption charges in connection with a scheme to steal several million dollars from the town’s self-insured health plan.

In 2003, Alejandro ran unsuccessfully for Cicero Town President. Earlier this year, Alejandro made a second unsuccessful attempt at public office when he ran for Cicero Township Supervisor and lost. His slate of candidates was endorsed by the ultra-leftwing Daily Kos’ contributing writer Randall Sherman.

According to the Illinois Board of Elections, Alejandro has made $8,205 in political contributions over the years. All of his contributions were to candidates or organizations associated with the Town of Cicero, namely Betty-Loren Maltese, Cicero Town President Larry Dominick, or the Cicero Political Action Committee.

If you would like to urge Bob Alejandro to do the right thing and resign, here is the email address: ale05@sbcglobal.net.

Very well said and I will add more about the Paulbots who are anything but conservative.

How can you become a precinct chair when you don’t live in the precinct? That is exactly what Ron Paul supporters did in my precinct. Because of some of the work I am doing, I gave up the precinct chair because after six years frankly I found it to be a pain in the neck. Paul people took it over and about a week later I discovered that the guy and his wife who were now the princt chair and vice chair were not registered to vote in my precinct.

Stupid me went to the County Chair expecting something to be done like a new election. Not from the Paul supporter, he appointed a Paul person who did live in the precint.

Welcome to the world of Ron Paul as they systematically work to take over the GOP. We have had our last two state conventions with the Paul people trying to take over and they don’t play fair — they lie and cheat to get what they want. They have been repudiated twice in big numbers and already are working on next year’s precinct chair elections. Next year the rest of us are going to be attending in big numbers.

Paulbots want to become delegates to the National Convention and vote for Paul even if he doesn’t have the legal delegates — what do rules mean to them — zero, zip, nada.

How anyone could say a Libertarian is conservative is beyond me especially when you read these gems from the platform:

1.3 Personal Relationships

Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the rights of individuals by government, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships. Government does not have the authority to define, license or restrict personal relationships.

1.4 Abortion

Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.

3.1 National Defense

We support the maintenance of a sufficient military to defend the United States against aggression. The United States should both abandon its attempts to act as policeman for the world and avoid entangling alliances. We oppose any form of compulsory national service.

3.2 Internal Security and Individual Rights

The defense of the country requires that we have adequate intelligence to detect and to counter threats to domestic security. This requirement must not take priority over maintaining the civil liberties of our citizens. The Bill of Rights provides no exceptions for a time of war. Intelligence agencies that legitimately seek to preserve the security of the nation must be subject to oversight and transparency. We oppose the government’s use of secret classifications to keep from the public information that it should have, especially that which shows that the government has violated the law.

3.3 International Affairs

American foreign policy should seek an America at peace with the world and its defense against attack from abroad. We would end the current U.S. government policy of foreign intervention, including military and economic aid. We recognize the right of all people to resist tyranny and defend themselves and their rights. We condemn the use of force, and especially the use of terrorism, against the innocent, regardless of whether such acts are committed by governments or by political or revolutionary groups.

3.4 Free Trade and Migration

We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders. However, we support control over the entry into our country of foreign nationals who pose a threat to security, health or property.

Frank Capuzzi:
Frank Capuzi & Frankie Perez - 26th Ward Republican Committeeman and 35th Ward Republican Committeeman Frankie Perez came into the Cook GOP office to demand no candidate be run against Democrat Board of Appeals Commissioner Joe Berrios. Berrios is also Chairman of the Cook County Democratic Party. Frankie Perez is an administrative assistant to Joe Berrios and was a Republican State Central Committeeman. Perez switched parties when Berrios became head of the Cook Democrats. Capuzi maintains a close friendship with Berrios and placed campaign signs for him in the last election.

Welcome to the world of Ron Paul as they systematically work to take over the GOP.

And the media are only too happy to assist in the re-crafting of the image and the platform, stand back and watch the division, the infighting. From the posting I see here, conservatives are blissfully ignorant of the libertarian takeover of conservatism and the GOP.

I notice how libertarians have adopted some Buchananite "principles," too, amounting to unrealistic narrow-mindedness. Libertarian = liberties without responsibilities.

IOW, the kook leader represents a kook platform. No wonder the president of Google sent out hundreds of paid campaign workers for Ron Paul in the 2008 primaries.

You are so right!

SORRY You have got to retract your statement.

I was at the Illinois Republican Convention in Sept 2009. We were told by the Leadership of the Cook County Republican Party that they Formally invited Libertarians in the Republican party because they sat down with the Libertarians and discovere they were REALLY REPUBLICAN!.

((OF COURSE we know that they formally invited in the Libertarians because it SWELLS the numbers of MODERATE REPUBLICANS. ))

I am running for State Central Committee in Illinois. I consier my self a Tea Party Republican. Want to know where I stand??

GOP illegally silencing Tea Parties

God damned morons.... The GOP is complicit and up to their asses in fraud, and will convince the F'ing morons that IRS employees are now sponsoring Tea Party events.

[Graybeard58]

Look what the Combine is up to

Yep and many here expect us to vote for that POS Kirk backed by the GOP/Rat machine.

[SaraJohnson]

Pushing back on the Republicans who do this kind of gaming makes you look like extremist loons which the GOP then exploits. They call them Paulbots on this web-site when you push back against the suppression. It’s all so...hopeless.

[chicagolady]

Greybeard, I am doing my own polling. What do you think of the idea of a TRUE Patriot and Conservative and Retired Marine Rany Stuffelbeam running on the Constitution Party Ticket running against Mark Kirk.
