Pelzer warned that committee members violating these restrictions and not supporting the candidates could be removed from their position. – More -
The fact that the GOP has to go to this extream show how little support Maes really has.
ReplyDeleteAs a republican, I find it offensive that I'm not supposed to express my opinion on facebook or any where else.
Should GOP central committee members be allowed to express support for Hickenlooper? Maes is the Republican nominee.
ReplyDeleteMaes is a joke. He ran a rinky dink credit bureau and thinks he can run an entire state. He can't even run a campaign. If they kick me out for supporting Tancredo, so be it. I should have left the party years ago. Tancredo is getting national endorsements and has raised almost the same amount in a couple weeks that Maes has raised in a year and a half. Now he's begging for $5 donations. The only reason Maes won was to send a message to the state party. They could have had Fred Flintstone run against McInnis and win.
