With the
word that Bill Obrien is running for speaker again we could probably throw him
into the mix since the party stood by him the last time he was speaker. That period of time was an embarrassment for
all Republicans in the state. He not
only cost us the majority of the house, he single handedly brought down the
whole Republican agenda and now he is getting ready to do it again. If I was
the democrats I would be pushing his candidacy as hard as I could.
What
happened a couple of years ago is the legislature developed a cult who would
not or could not acknowledge the truth; they just blindly followed what the
Republican leadership told them. These
people no longer listened to what their constituents wanted, failed to be representatives
or what was good for the state, they did what Obrien told them to do and we
lost the house and some good representatives who got swept up in the wave and
voted out of office.
The state
party knows what is going on and is trying to get all Republicans to stand
behind the Republican banner and put aside the internal fighting that has come
to ear mark our Republican efforts to be the majority again.
That’s
Stupid.
