Don’t Turn Around
So, there is concern that a newly elected leader seeks to appoint a committee to ensure ideological purity among his constituents.
Wait, I’m not talking about Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua…I’m talking about Lyle Tuttle, the new chairman of the Maricopa County Republican party.
The boys (well, there’s a girl too) over at Politico Mafioso report that Tuttle has appointed a fella named Ken Going (whose name would be a complete sentence except his surname is a gerund) to head up a committee to interview and screen applicants for precinct committeeman. No word on whether Going’s title is going to be kommissar or inquisitor, or whether he will be issued a snappy brown shirt.
I’m waiting for an announcement of re-education camps, a ban of decadent art and the renaming of the month of January after Rob Haney.

This is a total non-issue. Appointed PC’s do not have an official vote in how the party does business and to be an elected PC’s you can do an end-run around the interview process by just turning in your signatures directly to the county department of elections (without party approval.)

Yeah, but imagine how a potential PC would feel if the County Party said “no thanks.” How would you feel?

Hmm. Looks like now that they’ve kicked the door down, they are looking to make sure it’s carefully latched behind them.
Nothing like that could happen in the Democratic Party.

Phx Kid says it’s “no big deal,” but the Republican blogs have been swamped in recent months with heated “RINO rhetoric.”
The kool-aid drinkers who took over the party have been attacking Republicans who put competence ahead of party purity by supporting such “left-wingers” as Janet Napolitano and Gabrielle Giffords.
The good news for Democrats is that the Republicans will continue their own Red Guards revolution, driving out anyone who doesn’t meet their standards for purity.
That will make it much easier for Democrats to win seats - and dare I say it aloud - win a majority in the Legislature?

It’s called “nomenklatura”.
