Reagan Republican Calls On DFO

The Kootenai County Reagan Republicans were busy making a nuisance of themselves last night, as they had a phone tree working to push their Coeur d’Alene candidates (Steve Adams & Dan Gookin) during my down time. I’d just cracked open my post-acopalypse thriller involving “virals” (read: vampires) when the phone rang. I’d no sooner said hello than the guy was asking me what I thought of the McEuen Field deal — you know, the dastardly plot by the city of Coeur d’Alene to take an underutilized green space and transform it into a super-sized park that I might use again some day. Before he got too much further, I asked the phone solicitor to identify the group he’s with. He immediately said, “Reagan Republicans.” I give him credit for that. He tried to tell me that “constitutional conservative” Steve Adams was “a nice guy.” I responded by saying that he’d make a lousy councilman. He read that as a stop sign and never did bring up Gookin. Now back to the vampires.

Question: Have you gotten a phone call or a door-to-door visit from a Reagan Republican? Tell us about it.
