wow, so nothing has changed whatsoever with CCR in 2 years! A bunch of immature college KIDS looking for debauchery! You guys are a disgrace to the Conservative movement/Republican Party. So, is this what Meghan McCain means by “reaching out to younger voters.” Grow up kids! You can’t rely on your parents income to bail you out forever!

Funny that the RSR people’s only comments are attacking the dana report, I love reading this site and their sources seem like they know what’s going on… and early.
So a question to either the dana report, their sources, or RSR: Is Ben Myers still seriously running to be co-chair of CCR?!? That whole scandal kind of disappeared….

It’s the people defending the guy who got stopped that are turning a NON-ISSUE into an issue. Someone made a mistake, yea it’s a little embarrassing, but who cares, move on people.

Ok people,

they left the patio with a cup in their hand, haven’t we all done that???

Didn’t his mother ever teach him to look both ways? Lets be honest, you have to be pretty drunk or pretty dumb to step into public while drinking alcohol, ESPECIALLY down in Newport, ESPECIALLY if you’re underage.

So lets be honest, yes it could have happened to anyone, but it didn’t and coupled with the little stunt they tried to pull at CRP, this is 2 black eyes for RSR and you know what they say about someone with 2 black eyes…..

honestly, it’s really not hard to avoid confrontation with the law when throwing a CR party. Somebody just needs to keep people in line. Clearly that somebody is missing from the entire RSR slate.

I think it’s worth pointing out that the person who was arrested is the same Ostunio that started CCRforTruth. Ostunio, how can you call your group CCRforTruth when you’re so obviously lying?

Don’t lie CCRforTruth, people in CRs have huge mouths and everyone knows that it was a CR who got caught drinking in public. You can try to use proper grammar to sound official, but we all know you are full of it.

I think it is funny that people criticize The Dana Report for “getting the slate wrong” when really they announced the red state rising slate nearly 100% accurate long before the slate itself became public! The places where they were off were probably right when the dana report announced them and have since just changed. I mean, Matt Schenk went around with other members of red state rising telling clubs that he was running for chair on the ticket, even after Adam Ellison announced; and Adam Ellison confirmed that Alvaro Day was on his slate at a meeting in Santa Cruz. The only thing they really got wrong was the Executive Director. In fact, Red State Rising even views them as such a credible source that they link to them on their official facebook page…

Hey Alan,
The gentleman who was sitting on the side walk in handcuffs wasn’t even a College Republican. He was attending the party two houses down. On the other hand I hate to tell you how to do your job but in the future you should probably get a better source or not print anything at all if your not going to get your facts straight.

Are you serious? Matt Schenk spoke to UCSD as the chair candidate for RSR? Then it was Ben Myers, then it was Adam Ellison? And the RSR tailspin continues. I’m just waiting for the inevitable “The man is keeping us down so we’ve been forced to drop out, it’s not our fault, it’s the establishment.”

So the president can do coke in his college years, but a slate who throws a party should be ashamed because they allowed someone underage to drink. This is ridiculous. I don’t support either slate yet, but to make the claim that they can’t lead this “organization” because they weren’t checking ID’s before giving someone access to a red cup is ludicrous. I was at both hospitality suites and both had underage drinking. Everyone needs to get off of their high horse and realize what this organization is really about, they individual clubs at the club level. We as Republicans advocate small government, yet every time a changing of the guard occurs we throw all of that out the window, find a ticket to run on, try to win an election, and then accomplish none of the goals that the slate was based on. The member of CCR should focus more on voting for a slate that will back up their promises and make the CLUBS better, not who got drinking what.

I really don’t care that Ostunio had a run in with the law. Sounds like the cops were just bored. But lets not pretend that “The person at the party (ostunio) is not involved with RSR at all.” Anyone who can say he’s not involved with a straight face is either lying or delusional.

The Dana Report is nothing but a couple of twins that are diehard revolutionizeccr supporters. If you can prove me wrong do some, they get the red state rising slate wrong from the beginning. They dont have good sources. The person at the party is not involved with RSR at all. And the the fact that they got the whole RSR slate wrong from the beginning. Matt Schenk for cochair and Ben myers for chair? come on.

CRs love drama, it’s part of the fun, even the ones that say they don’t want anymore–if you don’t like it, why would you come on here to bicker.
I just wish the danareport, crnation, or something could get a copy of the “citation” so we could see what actually happened.
Besides that, I don’t know how much this has to do with red state rising except that they can’t keep their own parties under control.
We’re definitely not in high school anymore, so some of you need to learn how to write in English. Non-creditable… Come on.

Dear Drama lovers, — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:17:01 +0000

first of all, the most accurate post so far is from “Ok people..”
I personally was at the party, and that citation is what all this drama is about?… please.
I don’t understand how RSR is claimed to be making public mistakes? Look deeper into these issues and tell us what position these poor mannered CRs have on the Red State Rising slate. This party was open to any CCR, even Revolutionize members if they wanted to.
My point is, too many CRs post false information from non-creditable sources. We are called “College” Republicans… high school is over everyone; so quit the drama and rumors.

I haven’t kept up on this since a meeting like a month ago… I thought Matt Schenk was supposed to be chairman for redstate rising, what happened? http://gop.ucsd.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9:january-20th-meeting-minutes&catid=1:meeting-minutes&Itemid=3

To me it is all about judgment and control. When security breaks up your party and sends them somewhere else it shows your ability to plan and control a situation. When you associate with people they reflect your judgment. All these issues could be coincidences, but after a while the “no one’s fault/how is that related” coincidences start to add up to me. I don’t think anyone is blaming a slate, but I always make a judgment on who I would support based on their complete judgment.

I think both sides might be just a bit extreme right now. Revolutionize CCR stays far to quiet, while Red State Rising is making some public mistakes. They should each take a page from the others book, one should be more outspoken and the other toned down a bit.

I thought the same thing, I wanted to hear the rumors again. I went searching, to summarize: the rumors about Revolutionize CCR were that they acted like Red State Rising actually acts now. Funny they turned out to be true about the people spreading the rumors, not the people in the rumors.
