  “Brannon had not really had the apparatus in place to run a strong race. In terms of money, he was way behind. In terms of volunteers, it was slow.”

  hmmm. Could there be a reason for that?

  Please DFO - ask him the following:

  Would a Republican who is shown to have supported things like the Department of Education, failed to curb abortion as once campaigned, supported the creation of a new federal cabinet level department like Veterans Affairs, and supported a bailout for social security be considered a Reagan Republican? Because those are the things Ronald Reagan actually did while in office. These things seem to go against the Kootenai County Reagan Republican platform. Would Mr. Ward agree that Ronald Reagan, if alive today and living in Kootenai County would be be too far left for the KCRRs?

  so is he saying they supported a republican only because he was republican, even though he was inferior as a candidate and as a potential council member. nice to know he cares about the people of coeur d alene. oh, wait, he’s from post falls.

  MamaJD; I sent your question via e-mail to Jeff Ward for an answer. I didn’t see it in time to ask him during the interview.

  The campaign is over,
  the election is done,
  But the mud is still wet,
  and wallowing is more fun!.

  “Ronald Reagan, if alive today and living in Kootenai County would be be too far left for the KCRRs”?

  LOL. Cough, cough, spit, uncontrolled snickering. Stop it,
  I can’t take it anymore. My Gawd, Kennedy sure gets into peoples heads and creates havoc.

  Kage - you may not realize it but Ronald Reagan did some things that were “liberal” by KCRR standards. He signed a bailout, allowed the Dept of Education to continue, and created a new federal cabinet level department. Those are things that you would frown upon, no?

  Don’t forget tripling the national debt mama. Not to mention deficit spending.

  Kage - you are a piece of work. Instead of engaging on the issue re: Ronald Reagan’s legacy, you blame Mike Kennedy. Wow.

  Reagan was also a union president.

  @ MamaJD; Jeff Ward e-mailed this response to your question higher up on his Q-and-A interview thread:

  “We do not have a platform and we not in the business of determining who is too far left or too far right. I encourage MamaJD to join our club.

  “Republicans disagree on specific policies and I have heard conservative Republicans argue issues from opposite sides, each claiming the conservative position. I think Republicans agree on broad principles such as limiting size and scope of government, personal liberty and responsibility, inherence to the Constitution and the rule of law. For instance our various members both supported and opposed the Jail expansion and sales tax increase. The idea that there is a requirement to be in ideological lockstep is much more a Democrat trait then a Republican one.” — Jeff Ward.

  @ Kage; should you be banned from threads like this? ;-)

• 

  MamaJD on November 06 at 12:53 p.m.

  So if I decide to join the club and pay the membership dues, I would be welcomed with open arms? Hmmmmmmmm…..

  “The idea that there is a requirement to be in ideological lockstep is much more a Democrat trait then a Republican one.”

  I think if that were actually true, the Dems would have got a lot more accomplished in the last year…

  I notice Kage is now ignoring this thread. Wonder why?

• 

  Nick_Adams on November 06 at 1:51 p.m.

  @MamaJD: Kage is apparently too busy insulting the developmentally disabled on another thread.

  Seems that a lack of self awareness is a conservative trait. ;-)

  1:50 p.m. A delusional male is yelling outside the KMC E/R but won’t enter the building

  ?????????????????????

  Reports seem to indicate that the delusional male is now yelling “paper professor!” at the top of his voice while swinging at imaginary attackers.

  This thread is funny. I voted against the tax increases that would have provided an improvement (so-called) in the County jail. Not because I am a Reagan Republican in waiting but for very practical reasons. The economy is still floundering, see other threads. We can’t afford new taxes at this time. How about when this tax proposal was first put through and actually was approved by the voters, why it wasn’t thought through more carefully the first time?

  Quite frankly, this determination of whom can truly be considered Republican and “conservative” in a definitely “Red” state has got to be one he!! of a head shaker. Gets to be more shades of Marxism all the time.

  I’d have to say that Jeff Ward is off-base. There was a low turn out, but it doesn’t mean that Ward’s candidates got ahead with all this fringe lunacy talk of theirs.
