I’m impressed. My tour of duty was three terms on the Republican Central Committee in the county where we live and an officer in the California Republican Assembly (the conservative grass roots Republican group). Plus several Assembly campaigns. This was all during the period when Ronald Reagan was our governor.
But I am estranged from the GOP now. I won’t give them money and have asked them not to call. For me, men like Roberts personify what’s wrong with politics and the GOP in particular. The recent business in MS says it all. The “old boys club” (the GOPe) is not about inclusion,. but rather maintenance of the “status quo.” The GOP today is where the RATs were twenty years ago and the “old boys” just don’t seem to realize they have doomed their party to the dust bin of history.
For me it’s sad to see someone like yourself who seemingly can’t see where your ideas are taking the party. Personally, I could not live with your decision making process. I’d take a chance on new people. because with them, there is a chance that the party will reform
Pick your fights carefully.
There is no reason to make enemies we don’t need.
Roberts has been a fighter. Roberts stood up for me more than once, even though we used to argue all the time.
