Certain purported members of the GOP have entangled themselves in foul coalitions that work against their core economic and political interests. They have bought into strategies of compromise … many reasons exist … it is the easy way out, political expediency, wanting to be loved by others across the community, afraid of being labeled divisive, threatened with other labels such as racism, etc…
Let’s take a look inside one classroom:
With a 30%+ dropout rate it is clear that public schools are failing our students. The question is why … Unions are one key.
Parents, teachers and administrators who demand accountability don’t seem to have the same level of failure. In fact these charterizers & privatizers have the choice and have chosen to be accountable.
I went to private school and have many friends who are products of the charter system. The level of accountability in both is sub-par in my experience.
Then again, we all hate authority.
I’m not really sure what you are trying to say here.
Do you feel better now?
Betsey Markey may survive due to what could be one bloody primary. The early favorite has to be Bob Schaffer. Yet, you have Ken Buck, Marc Hillman, Cory Gardner, Scott Renfre, Greg Brophy and Steve Johnson anxious to move up the ladder.
Excellent Podcast from KCRW in Santa Monica that has a true all-points discussion on this issue:
“With a week and a day until it’s all over, John McCain and Barack Obama are making their closing arguments. Meantime, McCain’s advisors have accused Sarah Palin of going “off message” and refusing to take advice. Palin sources say she’s trying to “bust free” of political mismanagement. Divisions within a struggling campaign may be shedding light on a broader conflict over the future of the Republican Party. Does the GOP need reform to stay in touch with a changing America or is it time to recommit the Grand Old Party to undiluted conservatism? ”

He just had bad luck with his candidates. But he clearly knows how to strategize and position his party for future success!
is that Dick has only been State Chair for around 20 months. It took him less than 2 years to demolish what it took some a lifetime to build and hold.
and not forget the efforts of Trailhead, Both Ways Bob, and the kingpins who shafted Schaffer in 2004. All laid the groundwork for said demolition, if not actually part of it.
For the first time in 14 years the GOP gained seats in the State House. Did Wadhams have anything to do with that or was it just a fluke?
otherwise they would have been surprising. Two right leaning counties going right is not a success.
The closest thing Wadhams could consider a victory is not losing seats.
The State GOP needs to appoint someone to run it from outside politics. Someone that’s not a total cock, that’s good at management and working with people.
Folks, we have had our asses handed to us by running poor campaigns. I look at the Governor’s race and that seems to me that Bob should have won that in a walk, save the second-worst-run campaign of all time (McCain takes the cake with the prizes for being a dick on other people’s blogs).
Ritter in my eyes is vulnerable. He truly has done very little, other than usher in a pointless and outrageously expensive business/labor cage match where we’re just about back where we started.
While the Dems are drunk with excitement of taking over everything because of people like Wadhams, I hope some of us can fight through and run good, principled candidates that aren’t encumbered by the old-school.
The fact that Lamborn and Doug Bruce have been within 10 years of a job in politics shows you how far we have to come in a short time.
Sheesh. Fucking Lamborn? Are you kidding me?
Isn’t that a good campaign slogan for Ritter? Well, I’m disappointed, too, that he didn’t cram socialist programs down our throats, but so far, not disasters.
but how do Republicans go about getting rid of Wadhams? Someone should step up and be a leader.
I don’t know how much sway you have with other Rs LB, but you should write some letters. Try to get some kind of pressure on the party to get its collective shit together.
