		<description>The Minnesota Republican party teeters between being a sit-com and a melodrama. It is a great laugh either way.

You would think that the head of the party, some suggesting the next Vice President, could get this greed circus under control. Or at least not stealing funds, stepping on basic political rights and playing nice. Then a wise man once said that the Republican Party resembles a tribe of cannibals... look out when they run out of enemies.</description>

		<description>Yes, Dan - it&#039;s the signal of a party in chaos.

There&#039;s a reason republiCon Ron didn&#039;t discuss all of the Amended To The Amended To The Amended FEC Returns during the convention; there&#039;s a reason republiCon Ron shut the Central Committee meeting after the convention down, rather than field questions about the abismal shape of party financial records.

But, before the meeting was shut down, the Auditor is reported to have admitted to a SEVEN FIGURE ERROR.

The party is in chaos because the current party leadership caused GOP to stand for GreedOverPrinciples.

Colonel Repya is a National Delegate, and rumor is GOP &quot;Leadership&quot; is planning on revoking his delegate status.

The funny thing is, rumor also has it that the 2 alternates behind LTC Repya are Paulites - do you see the irony of GOP Leadership kicking out Repya in order to seat a Paulite?</description>

		<description>Looks like Repya is showing the anger that caused the censure from SD38 in the first place.  This guy is losing his marbles and is falling off the deep end!

Repya, you are right, I was not at the state convention, I did hear you got quite the beat down though!  Because that statement about the chairman is coming from you I don&#039;t believe it!</description>

		<description>Repya clearly can&#039;t get over the fact that he got his clock cleaned by Ron Carey in the election for State Party Chair.

I didn&#039;t stick around for the State Central meeting last weekend but from what I heard, Repya pretty much destroyed the little bit of credibility he had left with anyone on State Central.

I saw him walking around the Convention, trying to kiss the keister of any member of the press who would listen to him.  Repya loves the attention from the media -- I wonder if he has ever made a volunteer phone call or knocked on doors.  He likes the spotlight but does&#039;t want to get in the trenches and do the real grassroots work.

It appears as though he becomes unhinged very easily -- something that will not serve him well in politics.  If he were ever elected to a Party leadership position, it&#039;d be a huuuuuge gift for the DFL.</description>

		<description>.......gee....maybe with all this tension and personal disagreement within the Republican party, I should vote for Democrats instead of Republicans and embrace more of a tax-and-spend approach which includes heavy Government involvement and excessive social welfare......



Nope, it was only a nightmare.  I&#039;m still voting for McCain, Coleman, and several other R&#039;s on the ticket in November.  This kind of stuff might make for an entertaining blog posting, but do you really think it is a signal of a party in chaos?</description>

		<description>If I know this right Madore and Masin are two of the most pathetic fundraisers in the Democratic caucus.

Nice to know that while REp. Bunn and REp. Kalin work hard to raise money, Madore and Masin will  be lazy hoping their caucus will bail out their laziness in the final 30 days of the campaign.</description>

		<description>Does anyone actually believe anything that this guy says.  He is a guy that is completely of his rocker and has shown on more than one occasion his tendency to blow up.

This guy cannot handle at all the fact that he is completely irrelevant to the MN GOP and the vast majority of all of its activists.  Threatening a BPOU leader, is that how he would have conducted himself as party chair?</description>
