Capps to declare for SCGOP Chair?

Recently, speculation has arisen that Earl Capps, publisher and head nutjob of the Blogland, may be entering the heated race for SCGOP Chair.

Capps, well-known as a political blogger who also delves into subjects related to Eastern Christian theology, human resources management and 80s heavy metal on his blog, gained a modest statewide following during his short-lived bid for State Treasurer.

According to Voting Under The Influence:

Capps is a longtime GOP activist and blogger known for his Reaganism, his rum and his rock and roll. Those wishing to bring back the 1980s seem willing to flock to Capps in his bid.

A confidential inside source told VUI that Earl Capps has already created the "Capps Plan," to counter his opponents. In the Capps plan, Earl Capps promises his first act as Chairman will be to expel from the SC GOP Lindsey Graham, Bobby Harrell and Mark Sanford. Then, Capps will ban Howard Rich or anyone who gets money from Rich from the headquarters. There is even a list of consultants out there, that the source would not reveal, that Capps is planning to make pee in a cup before they can make public statements about the Republican Party.

As Chairman, Capps supposedly promises to bring a Ted Nugent approach to conservatism. "Their will be some serious no nonsense political ass kicking, good ole rock and roll, middle aged women screaming and some passing out, and beer flowing," The source said.


Having reported on these rumors, we'll now put the question to our readers - should he run for the chairmanship?

    Earl

    Let me know what I can do to help you on your latest adventure if you declare official that you are a candidate. Hurry on down to D and H BBQ in Manning at 11 AM today and you can debate with the three declared ones Hall, Beltram and Floyd due to speak at 1130 AM at the Clarendon Executive Board meeting

    Run Earl, Run! I'd support you! (Although I don't know that my support would be helpful - I'd still support you!)

    From the article -- Earl's Agenda

    To expel from the SC GOP:

    Lindsey Graham *CHECK*
    Bobby Harrell *CHECK*
    Mark Sanford *WHY EARL?*

    Why Sanford?

    Too tight?
    Too Libertarian?
    Insubordination?

    These are good things, EARL.

    Good luck, anyway!

    But Earl, who's gonna explain all the crap happening on the highways?? Sounds like the GOP's gain could be every SC commuters loss...

    Since you did not show up at the meeting today in Manning that had Beltram, Floyd and Hall you may have lost a couple of votes. Not to worry.

    We had a great time.

    Rick and Jackie Beltram

    Did anyone take video of the candidates speaking in Manning that could be posted to the Internet?

    Earl, how can I be part of your team?
  12. are you having second thoughts 22/2/09 12:43
    Serious Earl all three candidates did good at the Clarendon GOP meeting in Manning yesterday. If one was sitting on the sideline it would be hard to pick the best out of the three. I thought Rick did exceptionally well and his wife is nice also.
