Jim Greer must Go NOW…He is Hurting Our Party and Our Image

Earlier this month I posted a blog about Jim Greer, Ray Sansom and how one (or both) of these men are lying to our State Senator, Don Gaetz. Here is a link to that post.

On 5 November, the Hillsborough County Republican Party nailed Mr. Greer and his, for lack of a better word, henchman, Rich Heffley, for going into the black bag business of dirty political tricks. In a display of sheer ineptitude, both men got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Here is a link to the Hillsborough County GOP complaint. The only thing worse than being sleaze bags is being incompetent sleaze bags.

Congratulations Mr. Greer on single handily launching a revolt in the Florida GOP (I am assuming that Governor Crist had no knowledge of this, but only a full an open investigation into all RPOF financial and and electronic communications can we really be sure)

On 16 November, 2009, The Okaloosa County Republican Executive Committee, in a overwhelming vote, formally asked that at the next quarterly meeting of the RPOF that Mr Greer be given a vote of “No Confidence” and that he formally resign his post as Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.

I strongly suspect that other counties are going to soon follow suit. Enough is Enough. I have been attending Tea Parties in our area and they point to the morass and air of corruption that Mr. Greer has fostered. They also point to the embrace of “Porkulus” by Gov. Crist and then his comical attempts to backtrack on his endorsement of it, despite numerous documents and YouTube videos of him backing same said Porkulus fiasco.

In Okaloosa County, I have made it clear to the Tea Party leaders that if they want to keep Mr. Crist from going to the Senate, that they HAVE to register Republican so they can vote against him in the Primary. I have made no secret of my desire to see Marco Rubio elected and I have pushed him to the local Tea Party Patriots as a man they can trust. I hope I made a good enough arguement to get them to urge fellow Tea Party members to register Republican in order to stop Crist and vote Rubio. Time will tell and I WILL NOT stop trying.

We, the Grassroots Republicans, can also garner Tea Party Patriot votes (and respect) by showing to them we mean business when it comes to cleaning up our own mess. If Jim Greer had any sense of decency, he would call an emergency meeting of the RPOF County Chairs and State Committee men and women tomorrow, resign and allow the County Chairmen and State Party reps find someone who can restore trust to the RPOF.

I state again to my Senator, Don Gaetz. You have been lied to by either Ray Sansom or Jim Greer or, as I strongly suspect, both. In addition, Jim Greer has been caught doing a very poor imitation of Dick Nixon. Talk to the Hillsborough GOP chair if you don’t believe me.

It is time to man up Senator. Either you are with us or against us on this. It is a black or white decision..there is no gray area here. I and all Grassroot Republicans expect action and Tea Party members are watching to see if they can ever again put their trust in the Republican party.

Jim Greer’s resignation or firing is the first step back for Republicans to show we can be trusted to do the right thing.

    Muckraker, thanks for what you’re doing at the Tea Parties.

    I have been taking it one step further — I explain to the Tea Partiers, using a sign, a flyer and “basic civics in 100 words or less,’ that if they REALLY want to “do something,” they should “hold their noses” and “put on their hip boots” and wade into party political participation in the Republican Party by becoming a voting member of the Party — a precinct committeeman.

    I know some of the leaders of the 9.12 organizations and Tea Party organizations in Florida are now beginning to see that they can REALLY “party” in an effective way inside the Republican Party as precinct committeemen. The grass roots conservatives in Nevada and Minnesota have figured this out and they INVADED and TOOK BACK the GOP at their state conventions, electing all new conservative leadership.

    And, the Utah Tea Partiers and 9.12 organizations are teaching their members how to become GOP delegates so they can attend the nominating conventions that are coming up whereby, under the rules in Utah, the delegates decide who gets on the primary ballots — and RINO Sen. Bob Bennett possibly will be given the boot by them in favor of one or more conservative challengers.

    Thanks for all you are DOING!

      do not leave or avoid the Republican Party – Join me and hijack it back. I became an REC Member in Florida in the last year and now sit on the county board of Directors. I am telling you, you can make a difference and there a great many committed and new faces there with me, you will not be alone, it is not a Quixotic trek, the enemy wants you to believe it is.

      Start going to the meetings, you cannot afford to not be involved. This is a two party system If you wanted a third party, you should have committed yourself to it full time 40 years ago.

      Yes there are problems in the GOP, but it’s DNA is good and solid and perfectly capable of sustaining another revolution – We are waiting for your to join us. ColdWarrior is wise and committed to assuming responsibility. If you are too we can achieve great things.

      The bad news is we have the government we deserve now. it got this way because we became lazy and complacent. The good news is that it is wholly within our power to reverse this.
