ACT I SCENE I A desert place. Thunder and lightning.
Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air.
The irony was palpable, the debate pressed with “War is Peace” and “up is down” arguments.
Kirby in email: “This isn’t a conspiracy.”

In his reelection/inaugural speech on Jan. 19th, State GOP Chair, Kirby Wilbur, announced, “I voted for Mitt Romney and Rob McKenna and I’m not ashamed because the worst Republican is better than the best Democrat!”
It could have been a fitting introduction to the Roanoke Conference six days later. Because for three days, Wilbur – and the Conference – pondered how the Party could continue to run Washington State’s worst Republicans – the kind for whom Wilbur has worked overtime securing nominations – and still find a way to stop their epidemic of losses to the best Democrats. *
And over the course of the Conference the latest “New Direction” emerged. (more…)

In the hands of Midstream Republicans the fortunes of the Washington State Republican Party have gotten worser and worser. And at periodic low point (like 1992, 1996, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2012) Party Bosses predictably regroup, post-election, to contemplate their navel, blame conservatives, paint a happy face on their own performance, conclude that they must move even further left, and promise that under their leadership success is just around the corner .
.
It always happens.
.
Any seasoned Washington State Conservative could simply read the list of speakers to know that the Roanoke Conference had planned just such a series of meditations in disingenuous Republican liberalism for the Ocean Shores Convention Center the weekend of Jan. 25–27. Fans of that movement could not have been disappointed.
What have they been smoking? (more…)

There is no question that when you are alone, you have a private moment. Beyond that, there is considerable debate.
“The Republican Party is a PRIVATE organization”
Luke Esser and Lori Sotelo announced that masterfully in 2008 and were able thereby to prevent the State Convention and the King County Party, respectively, from interfering with what Luke and Lori wanted to do… uh… privately.

We don’t know how important tranquility is to Kirby’s cardiac condition…
But today Washington State Republican Party Chair Kirby Wilbur, by law, had to stand for election for state party chair and he had two qualified opponents.
Dave “Ike” Eichner and Mitch Short.

We know through private channels that Washington State Republican Party Chair Kirby Wilbur always carries a concealed firearm.
However we know from public experience, that he does not, in practice, support the right of others to do so.
Mr. Wilbur, in every possible way, treated that process as though its sole purpose was to anoint the candidacy of Mitt Romney and Rob McKenna by any means necessary.

When Kirby Wilbur ran for Chair of the Washington State Republican Party, there were two possibilities. The Reagan Wing began to consider them each here.
Kirby had the choice to become the reformer the Party desperately needs, as he implied to conservatives when he campaigned for that office, or become the most dangerous counterfeit and predator to hold the chairmanship since Jennifer Dunn, 
using the power of the chair to advance the cause of Republican Liberalism. We have, in the correspondence below, more of what is now a conclusive case that the question has been answered. (more…)

Show us the money, Kirby.
At the August state committee meeting in Pasco, a mere handful of “Republicans,” without input from, or notice to, the grassroots Party members they are supposed to represent, “nominated” candidates for statewide office.
Why?
What difference does it make?
How has the party provided money for those candidates? Did they actually vote on that? (more…)

Delegates to the Washington State Convention had been elected by illegal procedure, that proper and timely filed challenges to their credentials had been illegally adjudicated because of unlawful intervention in the Credentials Committee and State Convention by state party chair Kirby Wilbur, his subordinates, staff, and appointees. The Contest asks that the National Convention NOT SEAT

As previously reported here at the Reagan Wing, WSRP chair Kirby Wilbur, in the course of attempting to justify the misuse of party funds for his personal campaigning and that of his allies, including Lori Sotelo has suggested, completely without evidence, that PCO candidate campaign postcards mailed from Tampa, Florida were the work of a nefarious and secretive anti-Republican group. Some Republicans, including Ron Paul supporters, have expressed concern, even dismay, and have asked that the source of the mailings come forward to be identified. In an attempt to imply a takeover conspiracy, Wilbur transparently alleged that the “unethically anonymous group” was the Ron Paul presidential campaign.

Caught in the act of using party funds to promote his own re-election as WSRP Chair (by paying for and approving mailings to support KCGOP Chair Lori Sotelo’s anointed PCO candidates), Kirby Wilbur whined yesterday that he didn’t know he wasn’t supposed to lend his approval to KCGOP using WSRP’s mailing services for their illegal activities. And then had the gall to blame “those Ron Paul people” for trying to take over the poor beleaguered Republican Party.
Facing a barrage of telephone calls from Central Committee members and bad press across the state, Kirby sent the following Sunday afternoon: (more…)

Returning from Washington State Republican Party Credentials Committee Meeting in Moses Lake, I could no longer escape the conclusion. The GOP presidential nomination was predetermined. By Republican insiders, much as it was for John McCain.
The cheating IN the Washington State GOP convention credentials committee that convened at Moses Lake replicated much of the cheating they were supposed to be adjudicating. Slander, suppression of speech, and illegal procedures were dominant.
The State GOP, at the direction of Kirby Wilbur, has been acting on behalf of the Romney campaign to protect it from the corrective operation of rules, grossly manipulating the process and we will give it to you line-by-line. (more…)

No man can save America, no President or any movement’s leader. No Governor can save a State. Without the requisite mindset in the populace, all such “change” is illusory, all real improvement, temporary. Attempts to “plant democracy” without the cultural topsoil have failed all over the world. The question we face now is whether Liberty still has a habitat in American culture. The answer, based on Washington State Republican Party behavior, is murky. (more…)

We met near Greenlake, the same place we met seven years ago. A former Republican mover and shaker at the State and King County level going back decades, he is no longer active in GOP politics (nor interested in being identified here), but now, as then, he was interested in the Reagan Wing and our mission to win the WSRP for the conservative cause.

According to political tradition a trailing candidate calls for debates and a leading candidate avoids them because they can change things.
So when late in the Washington State GOP Chair race, incumbent Luke Esser’s side announced debates, it raised eyebrows. After all, incumbents usually win Party office contests in Washington. And Esser’s opponent was a talk show host and experienced convention chairman; poised, glib,confident. Those of us who saw him in action in the 80’s know Kirby’s radio career was no accident. He has long been skilled in articulating conservative ideas. He is not the kind of guy you want to engage in verbal confrontations about GOP issues unless absolutely necessary. And Kirby said the debate was set up among the other three candidates without consulting him.
The move suggested that Luke was trailing, knew it, and had exhausted all other options. (more…)

Friday, January 21, 2011 was the first day of two that changed the Washington State Republican Party. The events of both days occurred at Tukwila’s Embassy Suites Hotel—on Saturday the State Organization Meeting,
on Friday night the Feast of Friends.
During the day, the interior of the Embassy Suites is like a designer cocktail glass full of light. At the center, where the ice would go, is a jungle: tables among tall, leafy plants that make the sunken floor appear to be an outdoor atrium-vaulted restaurant.
It is not.
