The Washington State Republicans showed their committment to Democracy when the leader of the King County GOP abruptly canceled the Republican caucus after a Ron Paul supporter was elected chairperson of the caucus. Participants (who were duly elected by their neighbors in the first round of voting) were forced out of the building because the local Republican party Charperson.
This is how the Republicans view Democracy. Vote for who you wish but it had better be for us or there will be consequences.
The caucus started out Saturday morning inside Dimmitt Middle School. But it didn't end inside the building.
After supporters of Texas Congressman Ron Paul elected one of their own to chair of the meeting, the gathering was booted to an outside basketball court by King County Republican Party Chairman Lori Sotelo.
The move came after attendees irritated Sotelo by rejecting her choice to run the caucus - former King County Councilman David Irons.
Instead, the group voted for Tamara Smilanich, a Paul supporter.
That prompted Sotelo to declare the meeting was no longer a Republican Party event - but a Ron Paul campaign event.
Sotelo says she asked the group to continue its meeting outside because the King County Republican Party -- not the Paul campaign -- had paid for the facility and for the insurance.
Absolutely amazing. This is how Republicans work.
The best part? The elected chairwoman of the caucus:
... Smilanich said she would have considered backing Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who recently suspended his presidential campaign.
But, she said, "I don't care for Mitt Romney."
