I don't care if the chairman of the CAGOP is Democrat or Republican. I don't care if he's a gentleman or schmuck. A dynamic leader or a hooligan. I care about his political principles. Is he principled or is he a ubiquitous, political whore? Does he have the same core values that he did 10 years ago? Is he a conservative, a moderate or a liberal?

I contend that Ron Nehring is a politically-principled leader, and a conservative one at that who addressed the Tea Party convention last week. He is known for advancing conservative principles and ideas such as limited government, states rights, lower taxes, etc. Oh, and he is also a Republican who likes to win elections... Sorry if that is some sort of negative trait!

Do you have any evidence to support your comments as to Ron Nehring, other than Sac Bee articles or unknown blog hit pieces that are short on substance?

As to your other remarks - I find you to be a contemptible jerk. Am I wrong about that too?

Here's a sampling. Not so much the content of the article but rather the comments.

Then there's this pearl from a fellow partisan about "conservative" choices. This was Feb, months before the primaries were concluded.

Don't apologize. We recognize the beast. That's what separates partisanship from principled, political philosophy.

Partisans serve a necessary function in our US political system. Just wish they were a bit more honorable.
