Comments on New GOP Chair: Luke Esser

Pig Fucker's #1!

Pig Fucker's #1!

Looks like Luke won't have to get a real job, after all.

WASHINGTON REPUBLICAN PARTY ELECTS ARCH HOMOPHOBE TO CHAIRMAN POSITION

old news, the Republican party in this state is gross out time - locked in the 1800's

and all the rumors claim Esser is a closet fag who protected himself by being an over the top homo baiter while in the legislature

and where is Ellen? and the plank on witchcraft?

go Dems

Hey Josh did you ask him what he would do about the viaduct - if the Dems don't get it together on this issue Esser will look good after 2008.

Haven't seen any Repubo comment on the issue, are any reporters asking them?

Message out? I think they succeeded in getting their message out, and the results are due to their betrayal of our American values of Truth, Justice, and the American Middle Class way of life.

That plus the whole Iraq bag of lies.

Good question to ask, Josh, maybe they can whine about how they need more govt subsidies for cars ...

Esser is smart to keep his mouth shut on the viaduct......it is a major Demo cat fight, getting worse each day, that makes us all look silly in progressive Pudget Sound territory ...

Gregoire looks timid, Nichols seems obsessed and the Seattle City Council seems to need leadership classes and recovery 12 step from foggy brain problems ...

Repubs don't want to spend money on infrastructure but are not fools when it comes to real time discussions on roads

Esser would back the rebuild, the people voted, the money is there, the need is great.....safe and sound..... just do it before the big earthquake and many, many billions in liability claims ...

Esser will pound Chris on expanding the state budget - of course the economy is better so we have more money .... but they will try to recapture the anti tax mood of a decade ago..... it worked.

#5 Yes the Repubos want not to comment on the viaduct just like the Demos nationally don't want to comment on the Iraq war solution but the "liberal" press asks them over and over again.

Josh should put the heat on the Repubos for their solution - if Esser and Rossi et al. wish to not have an opinion let them say so.

Hey Josh,

If you had been wearing an "Warning: I am Josh Feit" T-shirt - or maybe one with a photo of Camus on it - there are plenty of people who would have come up and chatted, just for the thrill... kind of like reading those personal ads in the back of your rag. I'm still looking for the "Women Seeking Boring Guys" subsection.

But seriously - with people (and lots of fresh faces) coming to the event from all over the state even people (like me) who have e-mailed or spoken to you a number of times by phone would have no idea that you were you.

I thought you were one of the many volunteers working on the chair campaigns, otherwise I would have come up and chatted. You certainly have your agenda, but there are times you have truly been insightful or hilarious (and sometimes pointlessly nasty - but hey - it's "The Stranger").

With Esser in as Chair you will seeing a more active State Party for the Republicans... led by someone who actually has a sense of humor.

I may not be Hugh Foskett, but I'll introduce myself next time... Oh what a thrill THAT will be for you.

TV Fan,

Ha! I did interview a PCO from Cowlitz County named Keith Huff and a GOPer from Wahkiakum County named Kathleen Hogan. I also tried to interview a crew of young GOP guys who were goofing around in the lobby after the meeting. They were friendly, but they said they didn't want to be in the paper.

Anyway, next GOP thing I'm at, I'll wear my Goldwater '64 shirt.

Esser, the closet case, had an opportunity to fade into oblivion without any further inquiries into his "preferences" (I hate that word). So, ladies and gentlemen (mostly gentlemen), it is time to put our collective wits and experiences together to get to the bottom of the issue, so to speak.

Someone knows. Or, someone can find out. Go!

Dumping Tebelius and electing Esser makes sense for the Republicans. Their 2006 defeat was so complete they might as well change chairs. Luke's election brings the Republican Party back to its Bellevue roots (even if Bellevue's more than half D by now). Let's see if the New Eastside Gang can save Jane Hague's seat on the King County Council from a Democratic challenger such as Ross Hunter.

ref 5, above -

repubs would back the rebuild as long as there are tax rebates for big business written in

and something anti union and anti gay and anti woman and anti anti anti .... a bunch of real flakes in this state and else where

Don't you mean "Luke the Lesser"

esser is gay.

he had a cute young guy living at his house a few years ago. the guy (shows up as canceled voter registration, at that address) moved back in with his parents just after he left luke's which screams break-up to me. i don't know many single straight men in their 40s who choose to have a cute, young former yale crew member live with them, do you? plus the guy in question's dad works for the state and served on a board with the state senator who tried to out luke a few years ago.

google and the WA state voter database are our friends on this one.

and once again, scratch a fag beater and underneath lies a fag.

Three cheers for the Pig Fucker!

Dwight Pelz - Great State Chair... or Greatest State Chair?
