Bearing Drift has the first salvo of the robocalls against Bob McDonnell in an effort to “Save Jeff”:
A strong majority of delegates like you voted for a new chairman in 2008. You signed up, turned out, and rejected the false choices offered by the elite establishment.
Now the elites, led by first vice-chairman Mike Thomas, instigated by Bob McDonnell, want to undo the decision of grassroots Republicans.
They plan to use little-known rules in the Party Plan to decapitate party chairman Jeff Frederick.
The elites hate the results of the 2008 convention. This angry band wants to control party fundraising and structure.
They fight against truly pro-life, pro-gun, low-tax candidates.
Theirs is a party taking orders from tax-raising, anti-gun, pro-abortion officeholders in Richmond.
Call Mike Thomas, tell him to knock it off. You know what he’s doing. Call him at (000) 000-0000. That’s (000) 000-0000.
Tell Thomas the grassroots decide who the chairman is. Not clever rule manipulating elites.
Authorized by Grassroots Republicans.
I’m sure this will be treated as the effort of an overzealous group of supporters, but you don’t spend that kind of money on a statewide robocall without someone close to Frederick knowing about it.
Thoughts?
UPDATE: The Washington Post has this article up today. Ouch.
