UCNI Rhetoric Concerns RR’s Ward

Jeff Ward, president of the Kootenai County Reagan Republicans, sent a letter to facilitators Ron Mendive & Melanie Vandefeer for the new United Conservatives of North Idaho after attending the organizational meeting last night. It reads in part: “Many of those who attended last night did so to determine if this new organization was merely a re-branded Rally Right and if the purpose of this organization was to conduct political purges within the Republican Party.  It is pure delusion (although a number of speakers alluded to it) that the Republican Central Committee in Kootenai County is infested with moderates and liberals. I challenge anyone to honestly name five active Precinct Committee Chairs who are not conservatives. Previously anyone, regardless of their solid conservatism, who refused to take direction from Rally Right’s Mr. Pederson, were slanderously branded as liberals. There was also an element of Obama-like class warfare with attacks on the affluent members of the Central Committee as if financial success somehow invalidated one’s conservatism. I sincerely hope this organization will not continue those insidious and destructive tactics.” More here .
