If this is how he talks about someone from his own party, can you imagine the stuff he says about Democrats? But no... Republicans aren't racist.... Why would anyone think that?

Yup, that's the actual first line of an email about Erika Harold, a Republican mounting a primary challenge — from the Montgomery County's Republican party chairman, Jim Allen. You can find the complete text here (http://republicannewswatch.com/wp/?p=12708). PSA: it doesn't get any better from its opening. One more choice little number — it seems that Ms. Harold is not just someone born out of wedlock and all that, she is, to Mr. Allen, something else:
QuoteNow, miss queen is being used like a street walker and her pimps are the DEMOCRAT PARTY and RINO REPUBLICANS...These pimps want something they can't get,,, the seat held by a conservative REPUBLICAN
"curtesy", lolz.
Is there any truth to his allegations?
Where is Shitcago?

I'm sorry. Should I have put the hyphen in the word to make it more clear for you? :P
Allan is and always has been an idiot. Harold is apparently destined to be the new Face of the Tea Party here in Illinois. She's got the chops for a good run, and a lot of potential to go much further than Davis' seat, whereas Davis has pretty much topped out. This is most definitely Step One for her. She's intelligent, capable, and conservative enough for this part of the country without alienating too many moderates.

No, you should've spelled "courtesy" correctly, Sugar Tits.
QuoteGOP official resigns after calling Erika Harold 'street walker'
The Illinois GOP official who called congressional candidate Erika Harold a "little queen" and "street walker" has resigned
The Illinois GOP official who called congressional candidate and former Miss America Erika Harold a "street walker" has resigned his office as chairman of the Montgomery County GOP.
In an email to the website Republican News Watch Tuesday, Jim Allen called Harold a "little queen" and likened her to a "street walker and her pimps are the DEMOCRAT PARTY and RINO [Republican in Name Only] REPUBLICANS."
Allen sent his letter of resignation to Illinois Republican Chairman Jack Dorgan Thursday. Dorgan said Allen's emailed remarks were "offensive and inappropriate."
Allen was apparently angered that Harold, a native of Urbana who was crowned Miss American in 2003, was running against Republican Rep. Rodney Davis of Taylorville.
After the comments went public, earning a rebuke from GOP national char Reince Priebus, Allen apologized.
"My comments are very inappropriate and wrong, and I apologize to Miss Harold and her campaign and her supporters," he said.
Davis distanced himself from Allen, removing him from the "Team 2014" list on his campaign site and issuing a statement condemning the remarks.
"Mr. Allen's comments are misguided and wrong and certainly do not reflect the views of Congressman Davis or his campaign," Davis spokesman Andrew Flach said in a statement. "Our hope is that supporters for all of the candidates conduct themselves in a positive manner and focus on the issues facing our country as the campaign moves forward."
I keep reading it as "curtsey" :lol:

It's illegal to be a hard-talking homicide detective who rides roughshod over the rulebook to get the bad guy, yet he is idolized.

Well Erika wins the google image search portion of this contest hands-down.
If it weren't for her draconian social platform, I'd probably vote for her.
