First Arizona Republican leaders resign after the Tuscon shootings due to Tea Party intimidation. Now the Colorado GOP Chairman calls it quits and vents his frustrations with Tea Party members and hard line conservatives.

Colorado GOP Chairman Quits: 'I'm Tired Of The Nuts'

Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dick Wadhams dropped his reelection bid on Monday, and fired some parting shots at the Tea Party and the hard-line conservatives he thinks are hurting the party's electoral success.

"I have tired of those who are obsessed with seeing conspiracies around every corner and who have terribly misguided notions of what the role of the state party is while saying 'uniting conservatives' is all that is needed to win competitive races across the state," Wadhams wrote in a memo to the Colorado Republican State Central Committee obtained by The Denver Post.

Wadhams oversaw Republican losses in both the Senate and gubernatorial races in Colorado last fall, races that the party could have conceivably won if the Tea Party-backed nominees in both races hadn't committed some serious errors.

"I have loved being chairman, but I'm tired of the nuts who have no grasp of what the state party's role is," Wadhams told the Post.

Wadhams claims to have had the votes lined up to win reelection, but wrote in his memo that a "uniting conservatives" strategy will "severely" undermine the party's chances to lure swing voters in 2012.....

The Tea party is a rather large tent and parts of have been hijacked by Koch Industries and the lunatic fringe that thinks Obama is a secret Mulsim that's coming for their guns.

I have donated to both Ron and Rand Paul who are "Tea Party" candidates but unlike the loud and angry legions of the Tea Party, these two are rather subdued and focused. I don't agree with them on many issues but I respect their honesty and integrity as well as their commitment to get our government to be open, honest, and fiscally sound.

Let's hope this year will bring an end to political rancor and all parties coming together as Americans to get the US back on track with the challenges that lay before us. Time wasted on division is time lost on getting America back to work.

Good post, interesting info. I hope to see a lot more people here in the United States pay more attention to our government.
