C.Daily’s masthead pic for this essay brings to mind the very first episode of WKRP IN CINCINNATI when we were introduced to the character, Venus Flytrap. A not unsimilar get-up IIRC. Got a good laff remembering that show, thanks.

Peggy – it is pretty sic to be the grammar and proofreading police of this blog. We expect you will ask Krusty and CD to spell check as well.

You should all read Carolyn Williams post carefully. Earlier this year, CD had the great BVP time clock and now it’s moved onto Doug Gross, with an equally memorable image. While it a really amusing distraction on a spring weekend, it is just that – a distraction. Instead fo sniping over whether Doug is worthless or BVP is (i.e, the “who”), let’s move onto the “how.” I see very little of that from this group of bitter democrat posters.

You all are much smarter than I. I don’t have the slightest idea if VP can win and the truth is no one does either.

There is no way to tell the political climate in 10/10.

As big a disaster as Culver & Co. have made of this state, it may be a Republican landslide and the candidate may not be that important.

They way you say what you do is beyond the pale. “Pimp.” Is that how you discuss intraparty politics with your fellow Repubs? I too believe sincerely that BVP has NO chance whasoever to win. Am I a “pimp” as well.

There is nothing unnecessary about my article. I, along with many others, have turned a blind eye to Gross’s statements of the last 6 months. He went way over the line saying BVP can’t win. He gets all this free media because the media knows what it is doing to the Republican party. Why he can’t see that, I don’t know.

Al: I have no quarrel at all with those that express opinions different than mine. In fact, I welcome them. My beef is the manner in which opinions are expressed. The language used by some on this post is not condusive to civil discourse and serius discussion of the issues. Instead, people, like CD are using inflammatory language and photographs that undermine these goals and divide the party unnecessarily.

PCR,

Perhaps before you condemn BVP you should attend an event to speak with him and discuss his plans. Maybe then you will see that the media does not tell the whole story.

MIE,

I am sorry if you feel that way. And I am sorry if you think my opinions are divisive. However I am not going to apologize for how I feel. I call it like I see it. Regardless of whether Gross has worked hard for RPI in the past his actions now fuel just one thing, his ego.

The language used by some on this post is shameful to the point that perhaps I should look elsewhere to express my opinions. The mocking tone of CD’s post and the commentary it has generated has divided us further. Is it too much to ask that you exercise restraint in your comments and still make a point. I understand that politics is a full contact sport and that we should expect strident language. I just didn’t think it would come from fellow Repubs. With the circular firing squad in place, ready aim and fire.
