Not just in Marion County, Indiana but EVERYWHERE! Some counties have excellent leadership. Whitley and Harrison for examples (yes that's a shameless plug for two H.A. directors), some which will remain nameless for now don't have that. In Indiana, the First Saturday in March 2009 will be the grassroots opportunity to voice your opinion of the future of the GOP. If you're satisfied that Indiana went blue state for President for the first time since 1964, and while maintaining the status quo statewide got shellacked in local races in some parts of the state in spite of clearly having more qualified candidates then stay with the current leadership.

Ten years of RINOism have led us to where we are today. It's time to put the Republican party back in the hands of actual Republicans. No one working for McCain could possibly qualify. If anyone does any reaching across the aisle he'd damn well better be holding a weapon of some sort. Otherwise, stay on your own side and get some work done. Joel is absolutely correct.

The last two elections have shown us the folly of that slide. So we have to deal with it. And the implication is that some people who have gained power need to find something else to do with their time. Yes, Nathan, it is a fight amongst ourselves, but you are also right that it is a purge that is overdue. I welcome it. It is one of the two good things to come out of this miserable elections (Mitch being the other).

It’s a purge, and it’s long overdue.
