We applaud Chairman Alex Triantafilou for having political independent David Krikorian thrown out of the Madeira Republican club meeting where Alex was due to speak. Krikorian has viciously attacked Jean Schmidt for her lack of honesty and votes for higher taxes and bigger bailouts. We think Alex should toss out more people. Not only should Krikorian be thrown out of these meetings, but everyone who has insulted Congresswoman Schmidt over the years should be removed too. Even though this would result in seriously reducing the membership of several area Republican clubs, it's worth it to maintain our purity.
This episode also reveals the fine leadership skills of club President Mary Anne Christie, a big tent Republican. Removing this unwanted individual shows just how big her tent is. Those who have known Mrs. Christie over the decades would not be surprised by her courage.
Mary Anne Christie got her start in politics by volunteering on the Ulysses S. Grant presidential campaign. She knew she was born for a life in politics when she successfully convinced the Horse Carriage Drivers Union to endorse General Grant. Since then she has been a mainstay in politics and a reliable voice for the media when they need a quote to bash conservatives. Mrs. Christie has long been admired for her advocacy on behalf of pro-tax and pro-abortion causes.
Nobody who criticizes Jean Schmidt should be allowed to remain in the Republican Party. That is the kind of big tent policy we support. Like it or leave it. We applaud Mary Anne Christie and the Madeira Republican club for showing us how a big tent really works.

It's so nice of you youngsters to honor us old foggies. I'm even older than Mary Anne Christie and just as pro-abortion and pro-tax. As Speaker of the Ohio House, I proudly carried water for all of the Voinovich and Taft tax increases, and I used my power to shut down conservatives of all stripes. Mary Anne was one of my loyal partners. She is a great big tent Republican and asset to my anti-conservative agenda.
Brad Beckett-
Stop hiding behind the nickname.
Triantifilo kicked out the guy because he is an ass. It had nothing to do with Jean Schmit.

I think it is hilarious that "John" thinks somebody such as Beckett is behind this blog. Beckett is the last person on Earth this website would associate with. He is a true enemy of the treasury just like Chris Monzel, his boss.
I, for one, am pleased to see this website emerge as the valuable resource it is to get out the message that tax-hikers are still relevant to the Republican Party.
First we were accused of being Governor Strickland's agents. Then we were accused of being Chris Finney and COAST. Now we're being accused of being Chris Monzel's Chief of Staff Brad Beckett. You Democrats and COASTers have no idea what you're doing.
We have chosen to follow a liberal commenting policy. We will post all comments critical of us, and we'll even post the many comments from people trying to figure out our individual identities. That's how open-minded and tolerant we are. The only comments we haven't posted are those who are accusing others of homosexual lifestyles, as we would hate to be sued by a COASTer for defamation and have to pay them our money instead of give it to the government.
You Democrats and COASTers have to try to attack us personally because you know you can never debate us on our issues. Everyone knows that higher taxes are great for our economy. It has been proven that Republican tax-hikers do the best job of anyone at making us prosperous. Who can look at Bob Taft, Bob Bedinghaus, Jean Schmidt, and Virgil Lovitt and not see the wisdom of following our tax-and-spend path?
Because we are so big we'll continue to allow you to bash us. But you COASTers and Democrats will never be able to convince people that your alternative is better than the tax-and-spend Republican vision we offer.
I believe in a "big tent" Republican. As long as that big tent includes tax hikers, and baby killers, and excludes real conservatives.

I agree.
