"We the People" Say No to Steve Lynch as NorCo GOP Chair (Updated)

On Saturday morning, Northampton County's Republican Committee reorganized to select a Chair and Vice Chair over the next two years. Steve Lynch, who was just elected to the state committee last month, was one of three candidates who wanted the job. The other two were Beverly Hernandez, a retired Gracedale employee, and Glenn Geissinger, a former NorCo Council member. Lynch had been predicting a landslide in his favor, but came up short. Way short. 

Under GOP by-laws, no matter how many people are running, the person elected Chair must receive 50% plus one of the vote. Glenn Geissinger did that, and in the first round of voting. From what I understand, most of Geissinger's voted came from the GOP faithful, whom Lynch has been alienating for months. Geissinger also did well with the tea party. Yes, tea party members went with Geissinger over Lynch. It appears that Lynch's base is much smaller than he had thought. 

In a short speech before the vote, Geissinger stated he'd support all Republicans nominated to office. 

Yesterday afternoon, "stay classy" Lynch had a characteristic display of sour grapes: "What's done in the darkness will be exposed by We the People," he complained. 

His unsuccessful running mate, Melanie Heilman, complained about 67 proxies received from committee members between 85-90. "The dishonesty WILL NOT be tolerated," said this bat-shit cRaZy loser.  I was unaware that people in their 80s no longer have any rights. I thought that only applied to pregnant women.  

Lynch has been an ardent advocate for GOP Congressional candidate Lisa Scheller. But from what I hear, her campaign pulled out all the stops to ensure that Lynch lost. Having a bridge burner like him  at the helm of NorCo GOP would be a bad look for her in a district that does lean Democratic. 

Scheller will be tied to Lynch anyway. 

Andrew Azan was elected Vice Chair, beating out Marge Mandell and Heilman.  Azan has been a soldier for the GOP for many years, so I can see why he won. From what I've been told, Mandell gave a great speech and is turning heads within the local GOP. 

The vote totals for Chair are as follows: Geissinger - 107; Hernandez - 57; and Lynch - 47.  

Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that 60% of the vote was needed.

  1. Outside of this blog, nobody knows who he is or what you're talking about. People only seem to be talking about $5 gas, runaway inflation, and grocery shelves that are still hit and miss for many items. We discuss minimizing summer travel and postponing trips due to airfare prices and flight cancelations caused by personnel shortages. We probably shouldn't have fired people for not taking a not-vaccine. It's the economy and what Susan Wild, her Los Angeles money, and her political party did to all of us in just 18 months. All anyone needs to know about Lisa Scheller (whoever the hell she is) is that she's not a Democrat who caused all of this. It's the economy, Bernie (i.e. stupid). If this is your and your party's focus for the next four months, you can poke a fork in this race - it's over. I look forward to more of your typically liberal, sullen, helpful, and hilarious tips for hunkering down and surviving the Biden economy by riding bikes and eating bugs or something. You will help deliver us from the country's Malaise. Lol.

  2. A minor show of sanity by our local GOP, which is a bit of good news for the long term future of the party.

    Unfortunately they will still be punished because of national level issues linked to their base's love of Trump, Jan 6th and SCOTUS dipshittery.

  5. Nancy, I do not have the bylaws and relied on what I was told. I even questioned my source on this point. I will say that even if 50% plus 1 wins, that is still a rather convincing rejection in a race with three candidates.

  6. Heilman claimed in her speech to be unable to shamed.

    That’s good news for her, because her lack of professionalism, constant aggression and crude social media postings would be shameful to most candidates for public office.

  7. Steve can always fall back on "live-from-his-truck" videos and muscle-flexing. And when that gets stale, there's other options: "Patriot-picnic" panning, "saving Gracedale", protein powder parties with fellow "patriots", and enlightening the "misinformed" masses about various conspiracies, vaccine "research" (DuckDuckGo), and "blasting" people with "truth" and laughing face emojis. Just what everyone needs.

  9. @6:48 "People only seem to be talking about..."

    Maybe just in the small closet you inhabit with Fox News on 24/7.

    I've been at a ton of picnics and parties the last few weeks with a wide cross section of social and political persuasions, and while there has been some amount of grumbling about gas prices and inflation (like the weather it effects us all), there has also been equal amount of disgust about all politicians and the lack of any real alternatives. Most agree that Republicans didn't do a great job before the Dems and that nothing will change by switching back yet again. Then they're reminded of what Trump did while in office, limp gun control measures (hunters and gun owners even agreed), abortion bans, and future restrictions on contraceptives. Maybe 1 out of 10 people under 30 years old seemed to have a favorable view of the Republican party...

  10. Mandell's speech was outstanding and she could have a bright future if she stays active, but this election was about the Norco Republican establishment taking the party back from a fringe element.

  14. For those that comment anonymously are cowards. We need real change in our local NCRC and people with decades of being involved we’re elected. Having decades of experience does not always relate to being the best person for the job. Decade old ideas don’t work in 2022. I don’t ever make hiring decisions solely based on experience that may equate to 20-30% of the equation. You can’t teach passion and dedication, those 2 characteristics are way more important.

  15. Lynch has come on here anonymously to accuse me of "slander" for claiming that he only got 47 votes. He insists he got 57, damn it. He is demanding a retraction. Steve, I'm still waiting for your response to the bicycling challenge. I refuse to retract anything. Sue me.

    This is the kind of comment that kills me. If you want to attack people like Lynch, who post here anonymously, you should let us all know your full name. I am assuming you are Rudy Shellenberger or something like that, one of the Lynch mob. What you fail to realize is that your own cult members do most of the anonymous attacking. A comment (that I declined to publish), accusing me of slander, was from Lynch. I'm pretty sure that batshit cRaZy Melanie Heilman posted another comment attacking Marge Mandell. Irefused to publish her jealous rant.

    Also, once spmeone labels himself a "public figure" and starts running for every office in existence, I will allow anonymous attacks.

  17. Or this could be the fact that many more GOP were actually watching the Jan. 6 hearings. Many now need to distance themselves from that self-centered dingbat Trump. I see OZ went from red bragging Trump supported website to now all blue colors, with no mention of trump. Boebert in Colorado, has people changing parties just to vote her out. Fox news is even trying to distance themselves.

  19. "Maybe just in the small closet you inhabit with Fox News on 24/7."

    You wish. I don't watch TV anymore. I haven't had cable for years. Yes, it's glorious. And you, my friend are whistling past November's Democratic Party graveyard if you don't think voters are itching to send packing those who did this to all of us. Jimmy Carter had better odds with the shitshow he created. The current economy is worse. Pennsylvania has legal abortion and it will soon become taxpayer funded and likely available in convenient mobile vacuum clinics. Nobody cares about abortions. Nobody especially cares because it's so fabulously effective at culling uppity blacks and keeping them at 13% of the population and no more. And that will continue to be the case for PA's racist whiteys. Nobody's going to stop anybody from exterminating blacks and you can go about your day happy. It's the economy, stupid.

  20. @1:52 - Mid terms are never pretty for the sitting President's party, and very likely true again this November. That said, you are underestimating or attempting to wish away the fact that the GOP is STAINED by unpopular SCOTUS decisions, and much worse, Trump and January 6th.

    Keep telling yourself that nobody cares about it, while you whistle past the graveyard of the fact that there will not be a Republican in the White House for a decade or two.

  24. I love that Democrats are telling (themselves) this story. These "unpopular SCOTUS decisions" are going to drive Democrat victories in this 2022 midterm? It's the right that turns out big on social issues. Check the statistics: when abortion is on the ticket, strong pro-lifers win. Republicans see that the Court is making constitutional rulings that are pushing back decades of activist judges decide issues instead of the people, and so big issues are back in the hands of the people. But I would like Democrats to keep telling themselves this is all good for them. Please, carry on.

    1. Again, if you think the Supreme Court making decisions stating that the constitution does or does not say something equals the country headed toward a terroristic or fascist state, good luck with that narrative. If you had a little nuance and could read what the opinions actually say, instead of reading a news headline explaining the outcome in a few sentences, you might be in a better place to speak. But again, keep painting that narrative and pretending that the Supreme Court upholding the actual text of the Constitution is basically Hitler. Carry on

    2. So what are they there for? The majority of Americans supported abortions, yet they reversed the decision. We should eliminate SCOTUS because it’s obvious that they’re NOT for the people. You don’t get more unconstitutional than not having full bodily autonomy. The fact is that the constitution is outdated and needs an overhaul. Sorry, but I don’t hold it as sacred as you may because it wasn’t written to protect people like me. But be careful what you wish for along the lines of “interpretations” and what the constitution says or doesn’t say because your beloved second amendment doesn’t mention “guns” specifically.

      Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

  26. @8:26 I have to agree with you that most Americans are not smart enough to get their heads out of their portieres and actually see what is going on and has been going on. Most people from many other countries think Americans are just stupid. They come here to take money back but in the grand scheme of things things Americans are not smart enough to save themselves and you and many on this blog prove it every day.

  32. In response to Rudy, 'decades of experience' does not mean decades old ideas.

    'Decades of experience' means understanding the game of politics and learning from past failures. 'Decades of experience' means knowing how to win as opposed to 'no experience' where political novices think they know it all, but in fact know little about the system they seek to take control of.

  35. @10;42 If you were to uphold the actual text of the constitution there would be an entire part of the population that would have to change their life. Have you ever read the constitution, let alone studied it or even bothered to pay attention to it. I personally have so if you have not crawl back into your hole and or any other hole you stick your head up.

    The High court has been basterdized over time and turned into a puppet organization for the most part. They should have to denounce all political party when they are put on it. They should have to forego personal opinion and biased. They should have to be an open book not a shadow organization which they have become. They are the highest court and should be held to the highest standards. And have the highest penalties when they F - up.

    I really do not give a crap if you are a democrat, republican or tea party person. All those groups and more have complained about the situation with the court in recent years.

    You are just another pathetic whiner who likes to blame others for their own poor self esteem. Wake up and admit that you are just a loser spouting spew. And if you cannot do that just dig a hole and jump in because you are like so many at both extremes who should be forced out as it should be the majority who runs this country and not the retards who have no shame, morals, scruples, or ethics which are on the fringe of society.

    Although the core may not agree it is time for them in the middle to take back over and quit the PC BS and truly call those on the fringes what they deserve to be called and have them be treated the way they deserve to be. LIKE THE FRINGE LUNATICS THEY ARE!

Yes I have read the constitution Steve, it’s not a difficult document to understand and interpret, you don’t need to “study” it. My assessment still stands, it’s dated and needs to be overhauled. This is why they have amendments, and should have more to reflect a more modern and diverse (Yes Steve, diversity makes us better) civilization but todays congress won’t vote on it because they’re too busy becoming millionaires via corporate donations, but I digress.

    And alas we arrive to ad hominem attacks because your fractured brain gets overheated from too much D-ball taken throughout the years. Steve, give it up. You’ll never hold any significant position of power in this county because all you do is complain, don’t come up with practical solutions to real county issues and accuse the members of your party of fraud with no evidence.

  39. Face it @6:30 and @6:32 are probably the same person and the exact reason why Republicans are vilified these days. He/she/it don't represent the majority of Republicans however they think they speak for all of them. Instead they are just out for self interest and the overthrow of our democracy as they have drank the Coolaid of a wannabee dictator. They will turn anything into a fight to try and create self worth out of their useless life and diminishing self esteem. They complain about everything else and even worse blame everyone else for their own self inflicted lacking. They write things but blame others for reading them. They say things but as soon as the heat is turned up deny them. They childishly say others are doing things but are the ones actually doing the atrocities which they blame others for. They threaten to fight/destroy (Especially when they think they can bring a gang against an individual) until someone calls their bluff standing up to them in public and they find every excuse to run and hide. They may be out in society but mentally live in the shadows and on the marginal edges. They have an even lower opinion of themselves then we the outsiders do. Their usefulness in our culture is limited to the cultish exercises, hooligans, charlatan antics and radicalized activities pushed by their idols. They are played the fool on a regular basis by those who get their kicks out of abusing the mentally limited. They cannot be ignored because they have no limits to what they are willing to do to show one of their temper tantrum moments. They need to be watched, marginalized, managed, and removed from any place they can bring harm to or do damage to anyone else as they are just a ticking time bomb. They are the festering toe fungus providing pain to the rest of our world making it difficult for us to walk forward.
