Caught this today.
Apparently, there is a group of individuals in a few Republican County organizations who are less interested in advancing the GOP as a whole, and are more interested in using the Republican Party as their own personal soapbox without going through the GOP Executive Board or Central Committee:
A couple things stand out to me.There are no records filed with the Secretary of State to indicate that any such organization actually exists, except in their own minds.
When this statement is undersigned “Chair, Aurora County Republican Party” and “Chair, Fall River County Republican party,” or the various “Executive Boards,” don’t the people signing off on this have the courage of their convictions to put their names on the line?
It also seems as if they are intentionally using their positions to further an agenda which stands apart from the GOP as a whole. If that’s the case, why do they feel the need to use their titles within the Republican party, when they’re creating an organization which is separate from it?
Ultimately, the business of a political party is to unify your group and to get people elected.
This seems as if it’s the opposite.
People using GOP County organizations which seem to be trying to set themselves up as the Republican “Shadow Party.”
I’m sure that’s going to end well.
Of course they don’t. These Gestapo wackos are cowards. They think we don’t know who the are, like the Puppet King Lance Russell in Fall River County, or Prince Michael, the chief consort of Princess Julie in Pennington. Need we go on. They are so dumb, they think we don’t know who they are, or is it that they just don’t care what you think, just like Democrats who think they are smarter than we are and need to be led around….come to think of it, maybe they are Democrats….They certainly are RINO’s.
Fall River isn’t Lance Russell anymore. They actually have a new group in there.
The biggest problem with this is that they are moving towards getting all wrapped up in things that do not have anything to do with getting candidates elected, and making it about themselves.
Mission creep is the same problem that took the Democrat party down the trail of losing elections.
bingo. yes. just say no to this goofiness.
This is being lead by the chair of bon homme.
Get your head in the game, Powers!

The most reliable way to get elected is to cheat.
We need to move further down the electoral value chain to affect our repairs before worrying about winning unverifiable elections. We want the best platform to win, not the best cheaters.
I agree that winning elections is important, but I’m not going to get on board with cheating to do it.
Self governance requires very strong morality, which doesn’t come from an elected political class.
That said, we want to prep the body-politico for the free and fair election if/when it arrives.
So keep voting!
We’re doing our best to fix things despite an alarming number of verifiable conspiracy theory rejectionists putting up barrier after barrier; insurrectionists against the truth and founding values.
So we have a shoddy registration system because of gun registrations?
Really, Dusty and Mike?
😀
A single whistle blower could put an end to their struggles to save face from a time in South Dakota when politicians didn’t have a good bubble-burster to help drive true information into the captured legislature.
Now, we have an army of people with critical mass and inertia. Remove one, 10 more will fill their place.
Properly framing our circumstances will help us navigate through it that our descendants might somehow thrive.
sir, your mention of mission creep is spot on. as long as raging trumpism leads a faction of the gop around by the nose, they’re going to keep being the gop’s worst enemy. they’ll wreck the bottom layers while trump keeps destroying the top. and they’ll keep thinking they’re doing gods work while they do it, the god of trump.
Their interest is in making the SDGOP more accurately reflect constitutional values (federal) that have been usurped by runaway state level codified law.
And to reclaim the US treasury and redirect its foreign investments to focus on legal US Citizens.
It is also in changing political tactics from deception to merit-of-platform.
The SD GOP’s reaction to the obvious and glaring widewpread issues with the 2020 election was also puzzling until I watched 200 mul3s and figured out the election theft was a big tech play to slam in 5G security.
fact: abe lincoln himself would have road-runnered away from all this constitutional values stuff had the debate broken out near him.
he had important social ills to fix, with strong-arm innovative solutions that violated the batcrap out of the constitution when they needed to, in the name of intelligently outflanking his enemies and winning the war he had, not the war he’d rather have.
this coalition-of-counties thing is lame at best and insulting and subversive at worst, bad designs abundantly clear. stop it.
Uh-huh. Sure. And old Abe violated habeas corpus, imprisoned political adversaries and violated the Bill of Rights. Are the Republican leadership in South Dakota really undercover Democrats, who would willingly follow Abe but in peace time?
ha. typical.
“Every argument is won or lost before it even starts.” — Pun Stew, The Art of Bore
the confederacy was built on arguments over returning to adherence to the constitution and preeminence of states rights. without lincoln enduring a woeful procession of bad generals he might never have found grant and sherman, who deployed the worst forms of dangerous tech in the cause of a strong single nation – a republican republic. lincoln set the pattern for meeting today’s needs today, with pragmatic intelligence. that’s the party i remember joining back in the watergate days. we survived that, we’ll survive the freedom patriots too.
So you are so convinced you’re able to read other peoples intentions that you don’t even bother to contact any of them to find out why they are doing this? Shame on you, Mr. Status Quo.
Why would I need to “read their intentions” when I can observe their actions? They’re allegedly part of an organization, but don’t care to acknowledge that fact.
Then you should at least read the entire release, and acknowledge that the names for positions listed are public information.
Also, why have a platform at all? Let them do whatever they want once elected? What standard can they be held to? Finger in the wind RINO leadership?
Curious, yes, once elected, the party lets them do whatever they want. When they are sworn in to their offices, they take an oath to uphold the Constitutions of the US and the State, not the party platform. They represent ALL their constituents, not just the party. In fact, their oath of office includes: “”I…have not accepted, nor will I accept…any money, pass, or any other valuable thing, from any corporation, company or person, for any vote or influence I may give or withhold, on any bill or resolution, or appropriation, or for any other official act.”
That means no matter how much time or money you or the party gave to get somebody elected, he doesn’t owe you a vote on anything. His duty is to uphold his oath of office.
The purpose of a platform is to be a beacon, a public statement of what the party stands for. It isn’t a weapon with which to beat office holders who don’t adhere to it. We deal with them at the next primary. The primary is the enforcement mechanism.
The purpose of the party is to raise money and win elections. That’s it.
Interviews promote free speech and allow someone to speak for themselves.
It brings people together, and creates incentive to work cooperatively.
There are very good reasons for reaching out to someone you’re criticizing for comment, not the least of which is that you gain credibility and grow your audience.
YES!!!
Brown county how you have fallen.
Nope, the county as a whole hasn’t fallen. Drew and Rich have done their damndest to ruin what Jason, Dana, and Katie have built. They have stacked the voting members in their favor and even ran post cards for committee men and women last year. They are going to try to take out Katie in the next election. Drew needs to understand that when he took out Wayne Bierman last year, the funds that he raised will dry up b/c of what he did at the convention.
I’d love for the county organization as a whole to call for a vote to censure them and strip them of any powers! They are not following the bylaws of the state organization. If Drew didn’t have the last name of Dennert, he wouldn’t be where he is at today!
Throw Char in the mix with Dana, Katie and Jason. Forgot to mention her
Yep! Typical Libertarian RINO take over of another County BPOU and will not only radicalize it but run it into the ground.
Remember young Drew’s playing on the Dennert name misleading voters as to what they were getting when first elected. Voters wised up to some degree but many still being duped.
These protesters should be squashed like the June bugs they are. We have tolerated this nonsense long enough. They are not Republicans, anymore than Gerald L.K. Smith or Billy James Hargis were Republicans. They are Republican in name only.
PINOs – politicians in name only.
What is a prospective executive board?
Bet you anything Tornow is behind this email. He used the same tactic in Minnehaha — create an email with Minnehaha Central Committee in the name (as if he speaks for the entire Central Committee) and use that in an effort to make his emails appear more to carry more weight.
