Porkopolis and several insiders have reported that Chris Bortz has been denied the Republican Party's endorsement. We are very unhappy about this decision. This is a clear setback for our viewpoint, a majority viewpoint within the Republican Party.
In a show of protest, our executive committee has voted unanimously to stand behind our endorsement of Bortz. We feel his record of raising taxes, increasing spending, and desire to become a big government Republican merits our continued support.
As much as we love Bortz and his big government record, we acknowledge that Bortz shares a lot of blame for this setback. Bortz had to know that selecting Democrat Roxanne Qualls to fill Jim Tarbell's seat could jeopardize his ability to win the Republican endorsement. While few are more enthusiastic about raising taxes than Ms. Qualls, Bortz could have selected a Republican like John Eby or Pat Fischer who shares his goal of rapidly increasing the size of government. Bortz's incompetence was more than our blogging team could successfully defend and cost him our party's important endorsement.
