Fortune Favors the Bold

Today, at the Republican 2nd Congressional Convention, in Kirkwood, Saint Louis, Missouri, my Republican Party decided to treat me as though I was a Negro in the 1950's. After signing a pledge that I'd support the Republican primary winner, I was segregated into a holding area - separate from the main body of the Convention delegates. Behind me were armed Kirkwood police officers. Standing between me and the unelected chairman was an unelected 400-pound Seargent-at-Arms. The unelected chairman of the meeting, Richard J. Magee, Attorney and Partner, The McAuliffe and Magee Law Firm, LLP, who is rated A.V. in the
Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, which is the highest possible rating for legal ability
and ethics, accused me, when reading the Credentials Committee Report, of not being a faithful Republican. By way of the report, Mr. Magee accused me of being disingenuous in my participation in the American political process and by my becoming involved in the Republican Party 2008 caucus process. Neither before, nor during, the Convention did Mr. Magee ask me any questions. He performed no fact-finding, nor did he demonstrate due diligence during the proceeding. Neither before, nor during, the proceeding, did Mr. Magee offer me an opportunity to read the Credentials Committee report, nor did he offer me an opportunity to respond to any of the accusations in it. Neither before, nor during, the Convention did the unelected Credentials Committee ask me any questions. Mr. Magee refused pleas for information and he refused to hear motions. Mr. Magee, and his fellow-travelers, demonstrated a conviction of apartheid in this matter by casting me into a sub-class of Republicans. In short, my experience with the Republican Party of Missouri is that I've been found guilty with prejudice and have been afforded no opportunity for defense.

Furthermore, a letter was forwarded to "faithful" Republicans by Congressional Representative Todd Akins, inviting delegates to the Kirkwood Convention. I didn't receive his letter. By purposefully omitting me as a faithful Republican for the past 36 years, Akins also demonstrates biased and prejudical evidence that he's not interested in my views as a lifelong Republican.

It's become quite clear that moving to Missouri recently and participating in the Republican Missouri political process have been big mistakes on my part. It appears to this observer that this state's Republican Party is a Fascist dictatorship.

Anymore updates from around the state?

Well mark my words, tomorrow in the St Louis Post-Dispatch you will here that Stalinist tactics were used in the St Louis area to disenfranchise almost 50 percent of valid Republican voters, the account of this event included such things having the police throw out two of such people that were either video taping the event or for just taking pictures. I suggested to Jo Mannies that if these accounts were accurate that she should entitle her article on this event as, "Stalinist tactics used at GOP district convention to disenfranchise almost half of the voters".
