Words To Live By
"The era of small government is over ... government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." ( Tim Pawlenty 2006)

"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Would It Kill You To Pick Up The Phone And Ask?

Here’s an email i sent off last night.

Pat Doyle  & Dan Browning,

I know you hold your sources to be confidential, and I am not asking you reveal them, but rather, help prove I am not one of them.

I am a Republican activist & blogger (www.residualforces.com) and have been critical of Ron Carey. Since your story has been published, there have been emails and calls made stating and implying that I was a or the source for your story, a notion I have repeatedly denied, but none-the-less people are trying to smear me with it.

All I am asking is that you confirm that I did not leak any information or the memo to you. To my knowledge, that should be easy, as I have never had any contact with either of you. I would ask that if you do reply, that I have your permission to post the response on my blog.

Thank you,

Andy A. Aplikowski
(aka: AAA)

Since some people won’t take my word, and are trying to blame me for something I did not do.

How about we go straight to the source? Let’s ask the Strib reporters if it was me.

    Andy: Can you source this statement?

    “Since your story has been published, there have been emails and calls made stating and implying that I was a or the source for your story, a notion I have repeatedly denied, but none-the-less people are trying to smear me with it.”

    Which emails and phone-calls are you referring to?

    I hate to be a wet blanket but the odds of them answering you are slim. Most media folks dislike talking about how a story was put together.

    Andy,

    Why will you not answer Michael’s completely legitimate questions?

    Your silence is deafening and says a lot.

    Calls are being made to Delegates saying it was me who leaked the memo. I have spoken to people who have received them.

    Unfortunately, someone is being duplicitous and is trying to say that it is completely acceptable that people suspect I did leak it which an email does lead some to believe.

    All in all, the spin, which is the more sentient point I was making, is they key.

    The party has already released a statement that addresses select concerns raised, but is not signed by the new Executive Committee members. As far as I know, they have not met since this story has surfaced.

    Rino….I too have spoken to delegates (and other Republican activists) that are saying that they got calls saying specifically that AAA “definately leaked the story” and “shopped it around”.

    Given the vitriol that is coming out of Carey supporters, it is no surprise that they chose not to come forward themselves. Not all of them are as foolhardy (?) as I am to take this on head on…..

    According to my sources, the state executive committee had a meeting via teleconference on Sunday evening to discuss this issue.

    Good – hopefully we can get this resolved to everyone’s satisfaction before the meeting on Saturday. This is not a good thing to have hanging over anyone’s head….
