Conservatives, Republicans and the NY-23 Special Election

I agree with most of the fiscal and social issues the conservative party imbues.

But their role as king makers is most distasteful when they prefer to split a vote than get truly involved in the mechanics of Republican politics. Especially late in the game.

I find it even more discouraging when outsiders have got to do their work instead of old fashioned, grass roots recruiting. Local, like-minded, conservative, Republicans abound in North Country – look at those returns. To get their committees to look like their constituents should have been the number one task of the Republican and Conservative parties in the region. If they had done this, these liberal leaders up in North Country wouldn't have had a chance to get the mantle, let alone win elections.

This is a great opportunity to start recruiting new leaders into the Republican Party with strong conservative ideals.

My question to the Conservatives in the North Country is: “Will you give up your power as king makers, or will you actually fix the Republican committees?”

Being a bit cynical I bet odds that they won't… it is too difficult to compromise.

My hope is that Acorn and the obamanation oversteps and gloats. Then outrage will fuel rebuilding [ps- the state committee is useless, so you are on your own!].

You have two years.
