Andy Barnett wrote a piece that appeared in World Net Daily about the 6th CD Convention. 

I’ll be posting more on the Convention later today. 

I left this as a comment at TvM on Pat’s post. Not really so much as a response to his post alone, but also for others out there, especially one from everybody’s (not) favorite blog cop, asshat in chief, and least likable lifeform ever to grace the blogoshpere you have ever met in person besides that annoying Ron Paul nutter….. ho has thrown down the bully gauntlet  all because  someone had an opinion, stated it, and that made him and his bestest westetst friends look like tools.

Anyways. here. Chew on this.

Shut up and work only works so long. Us cons need something to work for. We need those kinds of promises where all the blood sweat and tears are worth it.

Some of us left it all on the field for great conservatives last time, only to see the powerbrokers pull the rug out from under us, then laugh at us for ever having believed in a particular guy.

So yeah, I get the you do need to do more than work. For a guy like me, I don’t feel any need or desire to work outside my BPOU or CD, and I am weary of urging my volunteers and workers to go help out the state party, when I know come October and November the favor won’t be returned.

I want ‘my’ (and I use my lightly) people as rested and hungry as possible. If it takes us the entire MNGOP from across the state to win the majority of 13000 votes, well quite frankly we are screwed.

The candidate has to inspire. People have to have a good reason to give until it hurts and devote their entire life to a candidate for weeks and months.

After having done that and lost, well I just don’t really feel like doing it again for just any body. You give us a good candidate we can believe in, and hell yes this fire can get reignited in Minnesota.

You continue to have headline after headline about how a Republican is advocating for or leading the charge on behalf of the latest and greatest leftist/liberal/socialist nanny state cause, and the party’s (so called) conservative leadership sits back and defends the person as ‘the greatest conservative since sliced bread’ and well, yeah, I do have better things to do than go knock on doors and make phones calls.

That $50 bucks they want, nope, I’m gonna buy my girlfriend’s son a new skateboard or my niece National Treasure on DVD. I want to put that money someplace where it won’t work against me. I want my time and energy to means something now. Going through the motions is all fine and dandy, but with out some sort of reward, and proof from the powerbrokers that it will mean something, it ain’t gonna happen.

Sorry, but blind loyalty and lemming like faith to work for anyone with an (R) is what has gotten us here. At a point where principled conserative stalworts are shamed be top Party operatives.Not to mention  In the skeleton minority, with nary a hope for a real conservative comeback in the state for a cycle or two, and ever growing march of Government boot souls over our freedoms and liberties, with nary so much as a complaint from the leadership fo this party or its biggest cheerleaders. But then again, the asshat in chief is responsible for still having that leader around.

A lot of people are saying it will have to get worse before it gets better in Minnesota. Sorry Pat, but principled conservatives, the backbone of the party, won’t show up just to show up and get that pat on the back in hopes of true conservative reforms. And when you have people who bully and intimidate anyone with a contrary opinion about the performance of the party…. well, all I can say is get ready for more of the same.

I am willing to stand in the way of anyone with a liberal agenda, (R) behind their name or not.  And that can be as simple as not donating and not showing up to volunteer. You don’t have to say a negative word sometimes. Take it or leave it, that is my opinion, and the opinion of a growing segment of the MNGOP.

If only they had been able to get a question in edgewise at that endorsing convention.

I think they have made a mistake at Team Pawlenty. I have received 2 invitations to his birthday now. One via snail mail a few weeks back and one via email today. For some reason I have the feeling I am NOT supposed to be on this list.

Anyways, Happy Birthday Governor Pawlenty. May you have good times and many healthy happy more.

(I do mean that. I know it may seem unbelievable based on some people’s opinion’s of my motives on RF, but I wish you well. )
