Interesting that the candidate who’s principle planks are TRANSPARENCY and ACCOUNTABILITY, advocates subterfuge tonight at caucus in the delegate selection process to the county assembly.

See Robert Rowland’s COUNTY CAUCUS MADE EASY

How do I participate?

Caucus is easy, and fun.    Here are the simple steps to becoming part of the solution for Elbert County.

You will need to be prepared to speak briefly to explain to everyone why you want to be a delegate.

What is the purpose and what is the strategy?

While you will not be asked or required to represent or disclose your choice of candidate for any race to become a delegate to the Assembly, there are strategies that are important.

That’s it, you will determine if the candidate(s) you want to see elected as County Commissioner, Colorado House Representative, District 64 and others make it to the ballot and get a chance to represent you for the next four years.

Really?  That’s all?  How fun!  How empowering.  You choose the candidates, don’t worry about representative government, transparency or accountability.  Mr. Rowland will handle those things for you.

At precinct 13 delegates will be asked which candidates for commissioner they support, because delegates carry the voice of the caucus, and real Republicans actually practice transparency and accountability.  Real Republicans don’t just pay lip service to their ideals.

“9 indicted on charges of accessing Obama records

(AP) – 14 hours ago

DES MOINES, Iowa — Nine people have been indicted in federal court on charges they accessed President Barack Obama’s student loan records while employed for a Department of Education contractor in Iowa.

The U.S. attorney’s office says a grand jury returned the indictments Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Davenport.

The nine individuals are charged with exceeding authorized computer access.

They are accused of gaining access to a computer at a Coralville, Iowa, office where they worked between July 2007 and March 2009, and accessing Obama’s student loan records while he was either a candidate for president, president-elect or president.

Arraignments are scheduled for May 24.

The charge is punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.”

In the president’s revised version of history, he has not had a long and close association with Acorn. He did not nationalize General Motors and reward his supporters at the United Auto Workers with a chunk of the stock. He is not in thrall to the big labor bosses at Service Employees International Union and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. And the Democratic Party has not sold its political soul to trial lawyers who hound doctors and hospitals and increase medical costs by billions of dollars each year.
The president has also written a “let’s pretend” storybook of the naive genre.
• Not all taxes are taxes; government spending is free and debt never has to be repaid.
• He and Congress have our best interests at heart and are smarter than we are. They should run everything.
• Too much high-quality medical care is bad for us. We must switch to the government brand. It’s almost the real thing. It’s also “free.” Just take a ticket and be patient.
• Energy must be made scarce and more expensive. Never mind the job losses (more than a million per year from “cap-and-trade” alone). Forget about the economic destruction (at least $2 trillion over a decade).
• After America’s factories are shut, the Chinese will give us jobs in theirs.
Oh, and don’t forget: The president also says that we should not worry about the mullahs in Iran and their nukes. He will “friend” them.

It is tempting to brush the Constitution aside to pursue political objectives, to let the ends justify the means. But if politics trumps the Constitution, the Constitution cannot limit government and, therefore, cannot protect liberty.

From an article by James Bovard.

• Paying people on false pretenses to do unnecessary things is the soul of ____________.
• Nowadays, many ____________ programs are hailed in the media for projects that produce little more than sanctimony among participants.
• ____________ is beloved by politicians because it provides ample photo opportunities of them doing good deeds.
• ____________ has never performed a credible analysis of the value of the service that its members produce.
• The issue is not what ____________ members produce but how it makes people feel about the government.

How many public programs can you name that fit the above model?
