BREAKING: Texas' Eliza Vielma NOT Endorsing Siler/Ludeman

Headlines were made yesterday when Real Reform released Texas Federation of College Republicans Chairman Eliza Vielma as a supporter of Real Reform on their website. Truth Caucus then went on to make headlines with the news, coming just a day after Vielma was listed by Charlie Smith as someone who was answering his challenge to pursue honest reforms. Keen observers made light of the fact that Vielma's statement on Real Reform was the only one not mentioning support of Brian Siler and Brent Ludeman. Controversy has swirled since that point as to whose camp Vielma is in, and we contacted the Texas Chairman to speak on the matter. Here is the statement that Vielma has issued regarding the matter:

"Yesterday, a statement from myself appeared on the website for Real Reform that was cast as an endorsement of Brian Siler and Brent Ludeman's platform of reform for the CRNC. I would like to state unequivocally that I am not endorsing anyone as a candidate at this point, because I want to see more than simple calls for reform. College Republicans, myself included, want tangible plans that will translate into successful results for our organization. My support will go to whomever is able to do this. I, as well as my fellow College Republicans nationwide, want to see more than rhetoric. I will stand behind whomever is truly committed to getting results for the College Republican National Committee."

No one associated with either Real Reform or Charlie Smith were available for comment at this time. We will continue to follow this developing story, as it unfolds.

Memo to Brent "CRNC Revival" Ludeman:

You're a coward for deleting your blog.

Why does that make him a coward? So he doesn't want it on the net still. Big Deal!

Its a big deal because Brent has done hit-and-run personal attacks on half the people in the whole place. He should be sent back to preschool.

Is he doing them anymore? And how upset are you with everyone else on the other side of the aisle who does the same thing, some of them while on payroll?

No you're right, some do. Gourley doesn't. Paul Gourley is an upstanding man of integrity and that's precisely what we need in a leader.

While ordinary Americans (and college students) are putting the finishing touches on their Christmas vacations and looking under the sofa cushions for extra pennies for gas money, and millions of senior citizens (deluged with thousands of “end of the world” college republican fund-raising letters) scrape together a few extra bucks for their Lipitor, Zyrtec and Plavix, many of the CRNC elite’s are busy asking each other questions.

Questions like:

Will George Gunning ever get a life and stop trying to destroy the organization that he himself once was a proud part of?
