Popkey has an article in the Statesman (Wednesday) on the "revolutionary" efforts of Ron Paul supporters (Ronulans) to take over the Idaho Republican Party and rid it of RINOs. They are led by this man, Challis McAffee, Republican Central Committee member, who "was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in August for pointing a revolver at Robert Lutes in Meridian. McAffee was documenting homes with delinquent mortgages for Wells Fargo & Co. In December, he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of assault. He served five days in jail and completed eight hours of anger management classes"/Sisyphus, 43rd State Blues. More here.
