DENVER — Tom Tancredo isn’t trashing Bob Beauprez, but he’s demanding one of his biggest benefactors, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, come clean about the Republican Governors Association’s influence on Colorado’s GOP gubernatorial primary.
On Monday, the Denver Post reported that a campaign finance watchdog group discovered that the RGA, which Christie chairs, funneled money to help Beauprez through the Republican Attorney Generals Association despite its public pledge not to attempt to influence GOP primaries.

“We already have a situation in Mississippi where grassroots Republicans feel disenfranchised by party elites. We need to avoid a repeat in Colorado.
“Governor Christie was previously accused of using political power as governor of New Jersey to block bridges as an act of political retaliation. So I’m sure he will relish this opportunity to ‘come clean’ and to ‘clear the air’ to avoid new allegations of using his elected position at RGA to carry out a political vendetta in Colorado.”

It is going to happen all over the country. Conservative candidates that won primaries will find themselves sabotaged and undermined by their own party establishment.
The establishment has made itself very clear.
“We WILL pick the candidates. You conservatives just shut up and vote when we tell you to.”
Beauprez won the primary by 4%.
Not much.
He and Tancredo polled about the same against Hickenlooper. Tancredo actually a bit higher.
So Christie and his idiot friends just lost the Colorado governorship because they think Tancredo is too “extreme”.
That’s the rhetoric of Lois Lerner and the angry Left.
What does that make Christie?
Romney’s organization was very much involved in taking Tancredo down as well.
Romney, Christie, Bush, Branstad, Rove, the RGA, McConnell, Boehner, the US Chamber of Commerce ... it’s all the same. Enemies of the base of their own supposed party.
