Who’s the GOP fabric-shredder? Palm Beach County critic takes issue with Greer remark

In announcing his resignation Tuesday, besieged Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer accused his critics of sowing dischord and said he “cannot be a participant in the shredding and tearing of the fabric of the Republican Party.”

But Palm Beach County Republican State Committeeman Peter Feaman — one of only two state executive board members to cast a vote of no confidence in Greer last month — says Greer had been stressing the GOP fabric since November, when Feaman said the chairman resisted calls to resign from executive board members at a closed-door meeting in Lake County.

“We said to him at that time, ‘Do what’s good for the party and step down.’ And he refused until now,” said Feaman. “So my question then is, who is it that’s tearing at the fabric of the Republican Party of Florida?”

   It was the mishandling of the money and the internal partisianship. That’s why he lost his job. There’s no schism in the party, no tearing of the fabric, just the faithful tired of wasteful spending when we’re losing seats and a lack of neutrality within the party.

   As a former Republican, I changed to “No Party Affiliation” due to the majority of RINO’s in the party. I wish we had a choice of “None of the Above” on all ballots.
