Outgoing Cook County IL Republican chairman fires phony GOP committeemen

Good for him.

From the Daily Herald:

As his final move as Cook County GOP chairman, Aaron Del Mar of Palatine fired more than a dozen committeemen who have voted in a Democratic primary during the previous eight years.

Del Mar, who did not seek re-election at Wednesday's county party convention in Chicago, told the Daily Herald he considered a number of the party's 80 committeemen -- 50 from the city of Chicago and 30 from the suburbs -- to be Democratic "plants" after examining their voting records and lack of attendance at party meetings and events.

Cook County has a long history of Democrat stooges running as Republicans in elections and serving as election judges.

I'm glad Del Mar took out the trash, but I have a message for urban and inner suburban GOPers. Get off your couch and do something!
