Chip Hanlon could have simply ejected me from the Red County blog with no fanfare -i.e. “hey Aaron, your arrangement isn’t going to work for us”… rather, they saw an opportunity to drive traffic and profit -so they took it. That’s the real issue – then they grandstanded about ethics.
Haven’t Republican leaders learned enough about leveling the ethics finger? Just do your business and be done with it, but apparently, that would have inhibited some perceived gain those at Red County saw as a possibility.
As I blogged previously, posts were deleted, comments were deleted, lawsuits were threatened in addition to constant complaints about money.
As of today – I am now 100% on the record about everything that occurred.
It would not suit a pro-Whitman agenda to tell people you waited 6 weeks to axe a blogger nor would it be to tell people that blogger was approached by Whitman first before deciding not to betray Steve Poizner.
The behavior of Republican Leaders – like those at Red County who vaingloriously paraded around about ethics and integrity create Libertarians and DTS voters who leave the GOP out of disgust.
The plot … dickens
Be nice Vern. Sgt. York is fighting Jerbal. And he has a point. Jerbal’s boss is a two-faced moron. He knew what was up with Sgt. York and Poizner. It only became an issue after Meg Whitman paid Hanlon off to the tune of $20K!
