Los Angeles Republican Party Wins Lawsuit Against Ron Paul Supporters

The Other McCain: Los Angeles Republican Party Wins Lawsuit Against Ron Paul Supporters (http://theothermccain.com/2010/05/27/los-angeles-republican-party-wins-lawsuit-against-ron-paul-supporters/)


Taking over a county-level Republican Party isn’t really that hard. In most places, if you’ve got a core group of five or six smart organizer/activists who really know what they’re doing, you can oust the incumbent party leadership within a year.

Since 2008, supporters of Ron Paul have done this in many counties, and there are a few states where Paul supporters (and their sympathizers) constitute a real threat to the GOP status quo. Paulistas were among the leaders of the Utah coup against Bob Bennett, for example – and good on ‘em for that.

However, there are always those who seem to think that the ends justify the means, and in Los Angeles County, California, this resulted in some disgruntled Paulistas forming a “shadow party” and filing suit against the existing county GOP leadership, claiming that the leadership had been unlawfully elected.
[...]
Please read the rest of that, which should be required reading for anyone else who thinks they can sue their way to power. [...]

If there are shenanigans going on like there is in the NM GOP (http://www.scribd.com/doc/32000890/Inside-the-New-Mexico-GOP), what choice do you have? The whole system is sick, from top to bottom.

It was my understanding that they won the elections, and the defeated establishment had formed the shadow group. Sucks to hear they lost in court.

What happened to 'No Standing'?

Any details regarding what the lawsuit was about?

"THE OTHER McCAIN" dot com... well that tells the story right there!

These idiots has just pissed off; Libertarian, Constitutionalists, True Conservatives, and Independents.

Way to go AssWipe McCain bloggers... hmm, now where's that Miss Teen South Carolina aka McMoron Youtube video?

RS McCain is ok. He's not one of us, but he's not the enemy either.

As far as what happened - I was under the impression that Barnett (the LA GOP chair) and Vaugh (Veep) lost their election in December. Rather than stepping down, they wouldn't turn over the bank account, and continued to use the GOP name to raise funds. Eventually, they showed up at a meeting and called for a new election on the spot, proclaimed themselves the winners and took their party back.

The blogger The Other Mccain site linked to is gawd-awfully hard to read, but it seems like the judge said "figure it out yourselves."

Very sad. I bet they don't have the money to appeal, either.

Nice job in the comments, guys. I like Stacy, but he could have updated the post with your link, Angela, and corrected some of the misinformation he initially reported.

It is one thing to challenge the ensconced establishment of the party, but quite another to throw in with Paulbots to do so.

These people are nucking futz – which is why they regularly attract about 0.5% of the national vote (or about one-eighth of the margin of error in a typical opinion poll).

Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas, I don’t want to sit with you.

Yeah, because waging preemptive, perpetual nation-building wars paid for by printing money and borrowing from China, and creating even more blowback, is so GD sane! That f'n Bush did more damage to the conservative movement than any progressive ever could . And, I might add, led more Christians astray ( by jettisoning the Just War Theory and advocating torture) than the devil himself!

Who knew there were so many Gore voters in the GOP ranks?!

You're right. He's not one of us. He lost all of my respect many years ago when he attacked my 2nd amendment rights. He no longer has my trust. It would take tremendous steps on his part to reconcile that trust. When McCain chummied up to Lieberman (Gun Grabbin' Elite) during his Presidential campaign, it only served to reinforce my convictions. I voted for Bob Barr. I have been a registered Republican since I was old enough to vote. I have voted in every election since (many). As always, the Republican Party must earn my vote. Attacking Conservatives like Dr. Paul doesn't sell with me.

You do realize that this is Robert McCain we're talking about, not John McCain?

Oh goody! They've really stepped in it now.

Hasn't the LA RINO GOP heard? Don't they realize that pissing off the Ronulan Armada is just about the dumbest, most regrettable thing you can possibly do in politics?
