Morning AB, All….

As always, thank you AB for doing this thread every week, even in the southern snows.

Lovely morn here in the swamps of Delaware. Cold here but we had to be the only area along the coast that didn’t get walloped with a snow storm last week. Heard folks down south got his and they do not fare well with the white stuff. Heard up north they got over a foot and while they’re more accustomed to such stuff, they too were aghast.

Last week we had our Sussex County Delaware GOP meeting. Seems the Sussex chair appointed himself a, heh, “parliamentarian”, I guess to better control us radicals who are struggling desperately to take back Delaware’s Republican party from the Ruling Class Blue Blood GOP.

Now appointing a “parliamentarian” is okay even though the Sussex GOP never followed a rule before in their lives. Only this “parliamentarian” sent an email to all the major players in the party, including Chair Tom Ross and Mike Castle, and it was horrible.

For a Sussex Countian, Don Ayotte, sent an email, per the bylaws of the Delaware GOP, that he intended to run to replace Tom Ross, the fine fellow who told the world that Christine O’Donnell couldn’t win dog catcher, filed charges against her campaign and worked against her, possibly causing her loss.

Below, a quote from this email:

“How are you able to be a spoke person for ALL of Delaware ? ... Why & under what premise do you think you have the POWER & WISDOM to as you said to UNITE when you & your crowd have tried to KILL SUSSEX?????”

I mean was this appropriate for this new “parliamentarian” to be sending out? Why can’t Don Ayotte run for the office and maybe win?

The crowd that showed up for this meeting was mad, MAD.

It was a riot and I got it all on tape. Below a little quote from a post on Delawarepolitics.net:

One woman stated loudly “In all of Sussex County, if you can’t get a better Parliamentarian than that then it insults all of us!”

Two guess who the person who shouted this out is and the first two letters are ME.

Anyway, below the entire story, with pics of the major players….Ron Sams and Don Ayotte, from the local Wilmington News Urinal paper.

I was there folks, yes I was. I taped it and had to run out because they tried to stop me. They threatened to steal my video camera!

You simply will not believe how determined these people are.

After the meeting, this new “parliamentarian” was fired.

What you think, he was appointed by the Wilmington Blue Blood Ruling Class GOP to stomp us irate Sussex Countians back in our place? Hmmmm?

Later I’ll detail my relationship with both Don and Ron….sheesh….it boggles my mind. Don, btw, is a writer for Redstate.com, and worked on many local newspapers.

I am now on something called the Sussex County Conservative Coalition. It might be a local story but by me it’s indicative of how difficult it’s going to be to get control of this party away from the Blue Bloods. Across the fruited plains.
