14. What else do you want to tell us?

Anybody but Moore. Anybody but Smigiel. Anybody but Harris. I'm a woman
without a country.
I'm a Carroll County resident, and I am pretty pissed. No reason to appoint
a space cadet like Robin Frazier to the State Senate
It's amusing how much people dislike Red Maryland here in Frederick
County. But I notice that the people who are hating on Red Maryland and
hating on Senator Hough are all from a group of people who have no
political accomplishments to speak of. Their jealousy says a lot about why
we all laugh at them
If the Congressional primary winds up Harris vs Smigiel, I'm voting for my
Jack Daniels
I supported Dan Bongino, but is he now trying to be a leader or a talking
head? I hope he stays involved and isn't just trying to cash in
Purple line out! Bus pull off on major urban roads (East-West Hwy, for
example). Widen I-270 to Fredeick (and beyond?).
Cut taxes, reduce spending, make welfare recipients take drug tests & work
for benefits, end common core, end licenses for illegals, end ObamaCare
Our National Commiteeman and Woman really should focus on doing
something constructive instead of worrying about national GOP BS
Stand for Conservatives principles stated as universal truths. To the RIGHT,

not to the left.

Andy Harris has lost all credibility as far as I am concerned. His excuse for
his vote in favor of the Cromulous bill was weak. Further, his inexcusable
vote in favor of John Boehner as Speaker of the House has complete pulled
away any pretense that he is a true conservative. In this day and age we
need boldness and leadership, Dr. Harris has proven that he is just a lap
dog for the ruling class in Washington.
Please God, someone give Ben Cardin a Brain.. Why Does Babs look like ET
and how Is Steny still alive?
I think you are more "RED" than Maryland and are certainly not reflective of
the values of the majority of Republican voters. I think your organization
serves either knowingly or unwittingly to sabotage the Tea Party movement
and your bias makes your organization about as credible as the Huffington
Post. I think the writers of South Park are more informed and intellectual
than any of your staff.
Great Job!! I'd like to see more outreach in the underserved community.
More presence and events in Prince Georges County. Many events are
outside our county and the voters who do support the party feel ignored.
We must do more to partner with people who do not share our values
completely and reach out to the underserved community.
I once saw Greg Kline give the finger to a bicyclist who had his/her dog
walking beside the bicycle. He yelled some obscenity then proceeded to
throw his iced venti mocha choca frappucino at the poor dog.
The "Not Everyone Wants Unity I Guess" article...embarrassing. Keep up the
good work.
Don Quinn lied his way through the election process and should be
replaced!
n/a
Wendi Peters received the fourth most votes in the primary for District 4
delegate. At this stage of the appointment process she should get the
nomination. The voters did speak.
The Republican Central Committee in Carroll County has bigger issues than
Frederick; they are better at hiding them. It's dysfunctional. Think they
didn't want unity in Frederick? Carroll is holding a completely closed
process for Getty recommendations. The CCRCC is being strangled from
within by a small clique.
Have a nice day.
Some of those people in question 12 were not elected officials. And you
need to clarify Question 11 - is that Delegates/Senators being elected
instead of appointed?
More Greg Kline!

Red Maryland is a treasure for our state!

Central Committee Members must follow their By-Laws, not feelings.
Stay tuned.
Wendi peters is just a paralegal, not the most qualified
Mouthpiece of the moderate GOP wing
Greg Kline has a great radio voice
Wish this poll worked better on my phone
Thomas Coleman, really? Legend in his own mind.
You're an idiot.
What about Nikki Haley or Condi Rice?
Bongino wasn't elected stuck with deuche John Delaney for awhile but still
approve of bongino and a few others.
Failure to support any Republican in favor of any Democrat without a vote
to do that at State convention should result in a member being removed
from Central Committee.
Get Off My Lawn!
David Craig is my second choice for senate
Until the repubes start fighting like the dems we don't have a chance
Keep doing what you do!
