Comments on Right In Texas: The Saga Continues

Consideration should be given to the Tina’s legal representation and the judge. The email from the party parroting their victory was simply that the venue was incorrect, not that the merits were incorrect.

Tina is scared to death of the disgruntlement with her tenure and dissatisfaction with her lack of leadership. In reality, I suspect that behind the scene, it is Perry, Dewhurst, and Craddick that are protecting their actions from becoming known through the soft under-belly of the party as a means of access to the public.

After all, the (party) has become the lap dog of Texas’ own First Triumvirate. Like the unofficial Roman political alliance of Gaius Julius Caesar, Marcus Licinius Crassus, and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus who had no official status whatsoever – its overwhelming power in the Roman state was strictly unofficial influence, and was in fact kept secret for some time as part of the political machinations of the Triumviri themselves. Our Triumviri have abandoned any semblance of the Republican Party of Taft, Goldwater, or Reagan for lust of power, influence, and money hidden by a façade of lower taxes, smaller government, liberty, and individual freedom.

A taxpayer voting for a Republican is becoming somewhat like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.

It appears to me that any matter that requires the vote of convention delegates, such as a vote for SREC members, is necessarily convention business. If that were the case, it would be out of order to take such action until the convention was organized.

Thank you, Tim, for stepping into this and being willing to be an outspoken voice in this matter. Yes, the RPT, as well as the other state and national GOP organizations, need a thorough house cleaning. These shenanigans are not just going on in Texas, it is all across our nation. My husband and I were delegates to our Parker County convention and witnessed firsthand the lying, deceit, and underhandedness carried out there, both at the convetion and in the days and weeks leading up to it. It was all orchestrated by our county chair and her band of cronies. It was a purposeful effort to keep new voices and ideas out of their popularity club. I am so thankful for Debra Medina, being a county chair herself, for taking on this fight for right and for the rule of law.

Adding you to my "regularly read" blog list, Tim. Praying for a just and fair convention, even if fireworks need to happen. (Almost makes me wish I were going . . . )

Thank you, Tim, for keeping us updated. You're right; that judge should have ruled that they were wrong and thrown it out. I remember many years ago in the Travis County Republican Convention we had a rump convention because of some illegal stuff, and it was all taken care of in the county BEFORE the state convention. This is really crummy of them to pull. It stinketh. :)

Thank you Tim. I think this blog may become one of the most powerful around by giving the understanding to us of what's going on. Please tell us what we can do about it too.

Thank you
