A week ago I wrote that the loco Repub Central Committee leaned
heavily towards a tea party ideology. Since then I have heard from two members
of the nine member committee. They both said I had it wrong.
Apparently it is the HoCo Repub Club that is in the hands of
tea party partisans, not the central committee. I was further informed that two
tea party activists actually resigned from the central committee several months
because they felt the committee was too moderate. One loco Repub went so far as
to label the current club leadership as “crazy.”
That being said, the post in question referred to a comment
made in a loco politico bull session by a Repub who is active in loco politics.
This individual put the club and central committee in the same ideological
basket. I was merely sharing that perception, which I should note was shared over drinks. I did not intend it to be taken
as gospel.
One of the committee members who contacted me told that they
“staunchly support” Allan Kittleman. The other told me that eight of the nine
members are often called RINO’s by Repubs outside of HoCo because of their
moderate views.
In other words, I got it wrong. Consider this a blog apology (or blogology).
Contrary to what some may believe, I do try to get it right here. Thank you for
setting the record straight.
