Republican party in Alaska in complete disarray as Chairwoman kicked out after locking party officials out of the Alaska Republican Party headquarters and threatening to have them arrested. Dammit, am I out of popcorn?

Ex-Chairwoman Debbie Brown.
Courtesy of Alaska Dispatch:

 Locked out of the less-than-lavish headquarters of the Alaska Republican Party in a snowstorm, state leaders of the Grand Old Party adjourned to a comfortable, Midtown Anchorage office complex Monday evening and decided they’d had enough of the antics of party chairwoman Debbie Brown.

Officially, money -- or the lack thereof -- was the reason for Brown’s ouster. Like recently fired predecessor Russ Millette, who never officially made it into the chairman’s seat, Brown was accused of being unable to raise any. 

Money that is. She seemed plenty good at raising the blood pressure of the party leadership. 

First she tried to fire members of the party’s state executive committee. When they refused to go, she changed the locks on the party headquarters in Midtown Anchorage and left the state. When the executive committee called her up on charges of failure to meet her responsibilities as chair, she refused to appear. 

Reports as to her whereabouts varied, but there seemed agreement she was still out of state, apparently on vacation or preparing for the Republican National Committee meeting in Hollywood, or both. Republican national committeeman Ralph Seekins from Fairbanks noted the RNC meeting starts Wednesday. 

Much discussion was had about the whereabouts of Brown, normally a resident of Kasilof on the Kenai Peninsula, and the appearances of trying her in absentia. Attorney Wayne Anthony Ross -- or WAR, as he is commonly know -- sent the executive committee a wordy, six-page letter citing his lengthy party credentials, questioning the fairness of the hearing, and warning the actions “by these members who I call the ‘old guard led by our former chairman (Randy Ruderich), seriously lessen the credibility and effectiveness of the RPA to Republicans.”

Wow they even brought WAR in to try and hang onto control. Yeah. like HE is ever any help!

Just to bring all of you up to speed as to the cause of this recent kerfuffle among the Alaska Republicans, it was sparked by Joe Miller's attempt to implement Sarah Palin's 2008 plan of overthrowing the Alaska Republican party. (You remember that, right? That was when Joe Miller introduced FBI informant, Bill Fulton, to future Alaska domestic terrorist Schaeffer Cox.)

Miller, using ties to the Teabaggers in the state, and some die hard Ron Paul supporters, managed to insert his guy, Russ Millette, into the chairmanship. That did not go over very well with the Alaska GOP hierarchy and he was quickly ousted to be replaced by another Miller  acolyte, Debbie Brown.

Well now she is out, and Miller and his ragtag group of assholes are fuming mad.

This was written by one of his "reporters" over on his blog (Yes he also has a blog) the other day: 

The Republican Party is in a war for its very spirit. Will a small cabal of political machinists continue to run the party for personal interest while continuing to lose ground to the conquering socialists like the corrupt Chiang Kai-shek did before Mao Zedong? Or will the party be returned back to its grass roots supporters? Your action or inaction will be the deciding factor for the future of unborn millions. Grass roots Republicans have a once in a generation chance to let light shine out of the darkness. The Republican Party must once again wield the torch of freedom that guided the footsteps of our Founding Fathers. 

Currently the Republican money  in Alaska has been squirreled away in Juneau, where Miller and his motley crew cannot get their hands on it. So as of right now the Republican party has no leadership, no money, and no clear vision for the future.

Essentially it is like the Alaska version of "Lord of the Flies."

Hang on I think my popcorn's done.

    This is the best of the best in political drama. I thought the Dispatch headline should have read “Locked Out!” It was pretty funny to see that the nut job wing of the GOP in Alaska has so few weapons in its arsenal. Changing the locks? Yep, where’s the popcorn?!!! I wonder why Joe Miller has not worked this over in his blog/newspaper? What a friggin’ loon. Maybe he has, I never go there because I hate to give him any hits. Is there someone we can assign to the one-hit per day Joe Miller project? He is always good for a laugh too.

    That thing on her head probably had to go back to its home planet for a while, and took her along. Seriously, what is that -- the adult form of the one Donald Trump has?

    3. It's a permed mullet! At least it's her own hair, and not a cheap wig or clip-on.

  4. Wow. Never a dull moment. Doesn’t Miller have a large family? That’s probably why he’s desperate for money. He’s not one of those socialists.

      Miller also took farm subsidy money when he was living in Kansas, and not really farming.

    To the sane people of Alaska, where in the hell do you find these assholes? Please tell me that they are not the majority voice of Alaska. Educate, agitate, organize, and mobilize, to send all of these crooks packing.

    It's great that this odd occurrence highlights Sarah Palin's ties to band of *jailed* domestic terrorists. Tweetworthy stuff indeed.

    A Q:
    is it Debbie Brown 'own hair' or did she borrow it from England court?

    ReplyDelete
  13. They knew exactly what Brown was when she was installed. The Paul faction thought they could use her as a puppet to do their bidding.
