Today's Random Facebook Pic ...

  
      We decided this was the best way to wrap up the discussion we've been having over the past week.  We don't always do things the way others would like it, but we are consistent.  Here's how we look at what we do... We respect everyone for what they do, but when we think things are being done in a less than fair manner, we call them out on it.  Why don't we just call them? Because it's been done before, and unfortunately, it will likely happen again. Putting the fear of Blog and the 25000 hits we get a month in them is the best way we knw how...


     We don't run things, and we never try to. We're not leaders here, but we view ourselves as the Conscience of the Party, where our activities - particularly in regards to intraparty dealings - are done in the most ethical way possible.  Does it cost us friends in the GOP? Hell yeah, but it's earned us a lot of respect as well.  When everyone all the way up to the Chair runs from you in fear of being fairly criticized, that's respect.  If you're doing things right, you have NOTHING to worry about, and lots of people get plenty of credit from here for it. We may have enemies (though we don't view anyone as an enemy), but we have plenty of friends...


     A note in advance: we won't be at the next GOP meeting in March.. We promised an 8 year old girl that we would be there for her 9th birthday. Besides, the next meeting is focusing on the Young Republicans, so setting a bad example by yelling at each other is the wrong move. It wouldn't come from us, but we'll pass on taking that chance...



     Politics is a tough game. A blood sport in a way, where no one literally bleeds, but occasionally, they get injured anyhow.. It requires thick skin, and the ability to hear the criticism, filter out what is bullshit, and take the correct critiquing to heart.  If you can't do that, then join a knitting club, where if you screw up making a potholder, you can tell everyone it's a handtowel. Then when you blow it again, it's a blanket, and so on...


    We made our point, but we can't help when other people attack. Maybe it's merited. We make our share of errors, but the last thing we'll stop doing is to tell the truth for fear of tipping the ox cart... And we'll still be out there, seeing people, talking politics, and making sure it's done right!
