Well, that's why my blog has the word Independent in it. These folks were following labels, right wing, left wing, some kind of political wing. But Sharon Kuhn stated these folks following party leaders directives have been had, hoodwinked and bamboozled. Kuhn basically stated that a group of jerks got together and placed rings in the noses of the wannabees and lead them to the voting booth to pick the leaders' winner.
Over the years, it was understood that the Country Clubbers would provide the dollars and clout needed to win, and the Conservatives would provide the votes and volunteers. This uneasy alliance has worked for many years but now seems to be unraveling. With the notable exceptions of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, the Country Clubbers, a.k.a. Good Old Boys (GOB), have insisted on picking the nominees. They have used their money and influence to ensure that only candidates they deemed viable would have a chance of getting the nomination.
Ouch.
Great article Sharon, you told the truth and shamed the devils. Plus, I love it, when the truth comes to the light. What I didn't agree with in your article, Sharon, was your suggestion for the crooks to join the masses.
Fort Wayne is dependent upon unified conservatives recognizing friend from foe. This is the time for the uneasy alliance of money backers and volunteers to unite and appreciate each other's roles
No Sharon, the crooks are not into sharing power.
You got to cut them loose and watch them leave...and they are leaving just look around you Sharon. But I still believe it was a great article.
Now back to the bloggers, you see what Kuhn disclosed about the party is what is happening in the local blogosphere.
The result has been that over time the party has undergone a leftward drift, making it almost indistinguishable from the Democratic Party. Democrats wanted large government spending projects. Now, Republicans want large government spending projects. Democrats wanted to trample individualrights and show contempt for private property rights with intrusive regulations like the smoking ban. Now, Republicans support this heavy-handed abuse of government powers as well.
No difference. There was a manipulation of the masses. It took me a minute to see it. I was busy defending my right to write a blog. But, it was there, that manipulation all the time but I saw it as one thing, and lo and behold it was what Kuhn talked about in her article, one group controlling another group, no independent thinking. Why?
Well, since I normally don't endorse candidates but make predictions, I am going to tell you.
But first let me tell you this. You see like Kuhn, if you go on to AWB, he's telling some stuff on some folks,( matter of fact, someone sent me a nice little email with information to attack AWB, the person used the name Mark Felt, but I wasn't interested) Why? Because this is what the local blogger political world is about. Since, I didn't bite, they created their own little attack AWB website.
Yep. But you see I was never part of the blogging world or their purpose. But they thought I was part of the political groups that were on the local scene. I had folks coming from law firms and other distinguished places coming over to my blogs which I thought was strange until..
I discovered these groups were groupies. Now here comes the part about predictions. One of the main team leader was Mitch Harper. I predict that Mitch will win the 4th seat because it was orchestrated for Harper to take the seat. Now some folks were pointing out Harper's loyalty to his party with the lack of criticism toward members of his party. Except..
Matt Kelty
I might be wrong, but I don't recall Harper ever having any glowing reports about Matt Kelty. Now think about it. Here is a blogger, who suggest that he is journalist, historian and an astute political person but writes little about the future republican candidate for Mayor? In essence, Mitch does not want to offend his elite business friends!
Mitch was for Peters. And if that was the case, (remember, I give predictions, and I am speculating on my intuition, and it's all up for debate) it follows that Mitch is part of the anti-Kelty group. And the majority if the local bloggers are anti-Kelty except for one little blogger, AWB.
Go figure. Why AWB and Matt Kelty? Kuhn told you in her article. It is a strategy, the strategy is to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. So as you read the local blogosphere, who you may think is an enemy could be a friend, and who you think is a friend could be an enemy.
So, it is of no surprise that Republicans are supporting Henry and Democrats are supporting Harper. Because these folks have orchestrated their winning team..except
Matt Kelty.
I only found one endorsement for Kelty who is running for Mayor. Why is that?
Mitch.
Prediction, that Tim Pape needs to go!!!
