Idaho in the middle of a 'Gem State heist'

| April 26, 2022 1:00 AM

The must-vote May 17 primary election will determine who governs Bonner County.

Why are there no Democrats vying for any of the six Bonner County offices?

Why are Republicans state Senator Jim Woodward and former state Sen. Shawn Keough’s vote scores, equally rated to Democrat legislators, as scored by the Idaho Freedom Foundation?

Does Sandpoint Mayor Shelby Rognstad exemplify the arrogance of political party deceit? Does Republican LPOSD Trustee Geraldine Lewis’ leadership of the Innovia Foundation represent progressive liberal agenda goals, sustainable cities and communities. Lewis also hosted a “meet and greet” fundraiser for Democrat Kate McAlister.

Is Republican Susan Drumheller, a liberal board director of both the 7B Project and Keep Bonner County Rural?

Apparently, Democrats have morphed into “Reasonable Republican” candidates. Drilling down on “reasonable and moderate” we find: compromising, lacking full conservative conviction, subversive, and misrepresenting.

Idaho is in the midst of the “Gem State heist.” Researching each privately endorsement group’s board shines some light on the situation. The only elected Republican organization tasked with holding elected officials to the Republican Party Platform is the BonnerGOP.org. BonnerGOP.org meets publicly every third Tuesday, 6:30 p.m., Ponderay Event Center. GOP Precinct committeemen can provide you with information related to political spectrum genuineness and/or fraud.

“Reasonable and moderate Republicans,” or “Republicans in Name Only” are crashing the party. Tell me who the candidate’s friends are, and I’ll tell you who the candidate is. Candidates, how many of your liberal political (friends) are mentioned above? Connolly, three; Williams, zero; Omodt, four; and and Harter, zero.

Representative Heather Scott and many others support commissioner candidates Asia Williams, Rich Harter and Scott Herndon.
