Colorado GOP Chairman Quits: 'I'm Tired Of The Nuts'
Eric Lach | February 8, 2011, 11:16AM


Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dick Wadhams dropped his reelection bid on Monday, and fired some parting shots at the Tea Party and the hard-line conservatives he thinks are hurting the party's electoral success.

"I have tired of those who are obsessed with seeing conspiracies around every corner and who have terribly misguided notions of what the role of the state party is while saying 'uniting conservatives' is all that is needed to win competitive races across the state," Wadhams wrote in a memo to the Colorado Republican State Central Committee obtained by The Denver Post.

Wadhams oversaw Republican losses in both the Senate and gubernatorial races in Colorado last fall, races that the party could have conceivably won if the Tea Party-backed nominees in both races hadn't committed some serious errors.

"I have loved being chairman, but I'm tired of the nuts who have no grasp of what the state party's role is," Wadhams told the Post.

2. He's got a serious ready-for-porn name if he's looking for a second career.

[yellowcanine]

7. I think he should just drop the second syllable from his last name.

I don't usually make fun of people's names but that one is irresistible.

[savalez]

18. Holy moly!

[JNelson6563]

26. lolz

[Avant Guardian]

28. I'm sure he heard it plenty when he was in school

Wondering if it drove him into the arms of the GOP...

[rfranklin]

11. Terminator: "Hasta la vista, Dick Wadhams!"

[goforit]

4. LOL!!!!... They are crazy yahooos

[ShockediSay]

16. Methinks not so crazy, rather a crypto-fascist front organization,

funded by big corporate money super millionaires (top two percenters) who don't want to support their nation with a fair share of taxes....

who don't want 'big government' to prevent their highway robbery if not murder of 98% of the rest of US

who wield a heavy hand on corporate 'main stream media'

who don't want to pay anything for social security, medicare or any health care for 98% of US

who waved enough money in front of Sarah Palin so's to get her to quit her Alaskan public service job and pump propaganda for the big corporate money super millionaires (top two percenters).

What makes for fascism?
In the 20th century it was

Right Wing
Super Wealthy Funded
Corporation
Controlled
Media
Propaganda Pumping
Persistent Organized Repetitious Propaganda
w/ Scapegoating

[El Supremo]

12. He is most famous for...

his role in guiding John Thune to an upset victory over then United States Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle.

Glad he had enough!

[judesedit]

13. I am amazed at how many tea baggers and republicans that visit this site. I'm glad though. Maybe

they will actually learn the truth, instead of swallowing the wad spit out by good ole FAUX noise. I am finding that to be true of the other progressives sites, too. Miracles never cease.

[Dappleganger]

15. The baggers will just call him a RINO and move on to the next dupe.

[tanyev]

17. Starting to develop a nut allergy, eh?

The nuts were so appealing when they brought votes, money, and manpower but could still be controlled and manipulated. Now that they're threatening to take over, some people are starting to break out in hives.

[Skittles]

19. WORTHY OF ITS OWN THREAD

:rofl: friggin' awesome analysis :D

[joshcryer]

21. Colorado is an island of Blue in the midwest, and I don't see it changing.

The demographics are only becoming more liberal.

[IDemo]

22. That thread was worth reading if just for a great new Palin nickname

"Joan of bark" :rofl:

[truthisfreedom]

23. The conservatives happily bring the nuts and the low-iq crowd into their tent until they discover

they have no appetite for them.

[rhett o rick]

25. This is not good news. The farther right the republiCon party moves the more

republiCons will flee to the Democratic party moving it farther to the right. We dont want them.

[lunatica]

27. Another victory for the teabag party

That's what it end up being in the long run.

[abelenkpe]

29. yeah.

I'm pretty sure everyone is tired of nutty tea party fools.
