Blog gathers support to oust Calvert from Approps panel
A popular conservative blog has intensified its call to pull Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) from the powerful House Appropriations Committee, launching a coordinated effort to target members of the GOP Steering Committee who voted to appoint him.Erick Erickson, the editor in chief of www.Redstate.com, said yesterday that he had received encouragement from Hill staffers and some lawmakers who believe GOP leadership needs a wake-up call. At press time, several conservative websites and blogs, including the Club for Growth’s site, had linked to Erickson’s proposal to remove Calvert from the Appropriations panel.
“This party of ours must be pruned, and it must be pruned by those of us who care about it before meeting the butchers’ sheers [sic] in the hands of the voters again in 2008,” Erickson wrote to The Hill. “If they refuse to hear that change is needed, we will wipe them out and replace them with new blood that recognizes that a corrupt party rejected by the voters will not be embraced again by the voters until the corruption is purged."
