Wow. that article made me want to puke. Especially this line: "But Mitch McConnell has shown that regardless of the political party or the public sentiment, he will be an unwavering defender of our constitutional rights."
LOL!
My theory for a while now is that some running policy in his campaign were more standard southern conservatives of the 'regional block' variety. There are areas where we would agree, fiscally, for example and in the general nature of states' reservation of authority, but so much of the principled philosophy simply isn't there.
Ron really needs true believers or at least those who 'get it' and will implement it as their job description, at the highest policy driving roles. One reason I was sorry to see Bierdfield (sp?) and Gary Howard leave was that they 'got it'. I'm sure there are others in there who do, they should be in the policy making roles, imho. And seriously, Ron needs to get a handle on this fast, and unfortunately if he is leaving it to the same people to make business decisions, they are never going to recommend their own replacement. Which is a shame.
In a corporate sense it is possible a nuts and bolts only person could do simple business management stuff, but the people management and communication, and policy determinations really need to be by or at least run by a true believer.
Note, some states had great people. I want Forsythe in the US Congress, House or Senate, but if he weren't interested in that, he would b spectacular. That guy in Maine could do it. Marianne Stebbins, but I want her in Congress as well. There may be a bunch inside the organization who just are under the decisionmaking of those who don't get it, who do. There are tons of us. Pick one.
