... Republicans had urged people to protest Clinton's appearance. A small
crowd showed up, mostly to support Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, a
Texas congressman.
"There happens to be a lot of TV cameras here and we want to get in
front of them," said Paul backer Colin Cagney, of Seattle. ...
It seems Washington state Republicans just ain't got IT.Locally, Republican activists have been writing letters to the editor supporting their County Council candidate Sam Crawford, but they're all off-base. They're writing to their wacky rightwing pals, not to the average citizen of Whatcom County.
A Republican Party activist from Lynden lost the thread and wondered off into talk-radio territory, writing about: "... liberal Democrat (redundant?) and/or leftist humanist (redundant!), ...... (Note: “Progressive” is an often used euphemism for leftist!) ... " I suppose most anything could sound awful if you invent your own definition for it.
A Republican Party activist from Laurel got a little closer to the county council campaign by trying to take a shot at Crawford's opponent: "... “progressive” out-of-town no-growth agenda." I guess he thinks 'out-of'-town' doesn't apply to him, even though this Republican Party activist doesn't live in Crawford's county council district.
A Republican Party activist from Ferndale actually got around to mentioning what he saw as Sam Crawford's qualification's: "Sam also has a septic tank ..."
Strangest of all was the letter written by Whatcom County Republican Party Chairman Chet Dow, in which he refers to candidate Ken Mann as "the New York candidate". How very very odd of him to attempt to label Ken Mann as an outsider, since 'San Francisco' Chet moved to Whatcom County a year AFTER Ken did.
