I hope Andy Hammond does try to raise money in his quest to promote chaos in Montana’s Democratic primary election contest on June 3rd, ’cause I’ll be one of the first people to file a complaint against his illegal campaign committee.

If there’s ever been a metaphor for what the Montana GOP is all about, it may just be this nonsense. These clowns know they don’t stand a chance against Obama, so they’d rather disrupt the democratic process than admit defeat and look at why their message isn’t appealing to voters. How about Hammond’s strong endorsement of his party’s nominee: “I hold my nose about McCain.”

Of course, this mockery of one of the cornerstones of our democracy–free and fair elections–is old hat by now for GOP faithful. Once they realized in 2000 that they didn’t have to win fair and square, it’ll all been fun and games since. I imagine that Iverson is probably seeing the silver lining in his un-worthwhile gambit to fix the state GOP caucus for Mitt Romney now that he realizes all the regular GOP voters he disenfranchised will go out and sow discord in the Dem primary.

The Montana state GOP and the national body that laid the cyst that hatched them have been showing that “party before country” is their new modus operandi for quite some time. It’s just rare that they’re as open about it as Hammond seems to be in this case.
