Tommy Sandoval and the Gainesville Times

My good friend Tommy Sandoval made the Gainesville Times front page, at least online. In the online edition today, Tommy claims a GOP candidate isn't Republican enough!

The Hall County Republican Party flip flopped like a dying mackerel on the "law-and-order former sheriff," Bob Vass. Vass paid his dues in the form of a filing fee but now isn't welcome by Tommy Sandoval and the local GOP Executive Board.

Now, I've pillared Mr. Sandoval several times on this blog and in the Gainesville Times for his ignorance of taxes, his refusal to use good sources, and his blind obedience to George Bush. Just like George Bush who had political litmus tests for Justice Department attorneys, Tommy Sandoval has, just one week before the Republican primary, rejected a GOP candidate for not being partisan enough.

Partisan issues to the side for the moment, did I mention Mr. Tommy Sandoval is working against Mr. Vass in the election? Yes, Tommy Sandoval works as a paid consultant for a candidate opposing the law-and-order former sheriff, Bob Vass.

Mr. Tommy Sandoval, with such a clear conflict of interest, did not disqualify himself from the Executive Committee vote. He voted against Vass. He made the motion to take the vote. He led the investigation andthe smear campaign by the Executive Committee.

Now isn't that a wonderful flip flop? The GOP doesn't want a law-and-order former sheriff to win political office. Law-and-order isn't a GOP value it seems. But, winning at any costs seems to be a huge value. Perhaps, the only value to the GOP. Even in a primary.

If Tommy Sandoval wants to hand pick his candidates, let him start his own party.

Tommy Sandoval should be removed from the GOP Executive Committee for voting despite his conflict of interest in this matter.
