All Chuckle Club members agree that Tina Jacobson is a great American! Tina is motivated by her principles, which just happen to be the same principles that motivated our Founding Fathers. In observing Tina for years, it is apparent that she is selfless and dedicated to the values of grassroots Idaho Republicans. It is these Republicans who pay their own way to the Idaho State GOP convention every two years and fight it out over the various planks of the GOP state platform. We appreciate all of those grassroots activists who have given the Idaho GOP such a good platform.
The platform is a statement of what the Idaho Republican Party stands for. It is a statement to voters as to what they ought to get when they vote for a Republican candidate. And in Idaho, the GOP platform is very conservative. Anyone who claims to be a conservative needs to pay more than lip service to that platform. Unfortunately, there is a lot of “lip service politics” going on in the Gem State. Tina Jacobson is the “Real Deal”; she walks the walk and talks the talk.

We were very pleased when it was announced at Saturday’s Lincoln Day dinner at the Coeur d’Alene Resort that Tina Jacobson had won the “County Chairman of the Year” award for Tina’s service to the Kootenai County GOP. Tina was also a past winner of the “Republican Woman of the Year” award, which she very much deserved as well. Imagine how much more good Tina could have done for the GOP if all the male toddlers who are trapped in adult bodies had supported her instead of thrown barriers in her path. (Be sure to see our next round of Knucklehead and Chucklehead Awards on April 1)
We are also reminded of another recent award Tina received. This was from the legislative delegation from District 3, unquestionable the most conservative delegation in the Idaho Legislature. (Senator Steve Vick, and Representatives Vito Barbieri and Phil Hart) These guys obviously appreciate Tina’s tireless, principle driven hard work and her willingness to stand up for what she believes in.
The Esther Award acknowledges Republican women who put God before self while furthering the “American Ideal” that is the heart of the conservative Republican Party.
Congratulations Tina Jacobson!
