GOP meet's first day closed to press (Oregon) |
|
http://www.kgw.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D840OUJ80.html
The state Republican Party opened a two-day convention Friday in Keizer with an unusual notice to the news media: Don't come.
But nothing underhanded is afoot, said party spokeswoman Dawn Phillips.
She said the day largely was for "internal party business" and for dispensing campaign advice to candidates and party workers.
"There's there are some things we're communicating with grass roots delegates, training sessions and election strategy, and we'd just prefer not to share it with the Democrats and others," she said.

Dawn Phillips." Now what would move the woman to make such a statement? " Nothing to see over here", "no one here but us chickens" No instructions on tampering" etc :dem:

There, I said it. The Oregon GOP are swine.
I'll guarantee you, this event will be 99.9% white. That's just one reason why they don't want the press around.

4. What? they don't want reporters at their dirty tricks seminar? |
|
Or maybe they don't want anyone to know just how they plan to steal/or stop the election.
