I hope we find the answers soon, I really do. As I anxiously anticipate my first MDGOP convention this weekend, these topics are on the forefront for me. Earlier today, my first contribution to The Brenner Brief was posted. This evening, the lovely Teri Christoph of Smart Girl Politics and ShePAC posted a link to this article by Erick Erickson, who may or may not be considering a run for office. My question is, what is it going to take? Can we achieve unity? Can we stop the ‘incestuous bleeding’ before it’s too late? I certainly hope so.
(Red State) If money is the root of all evil, for the Republican Party evil is located on the fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza, Alexandria, VA 22314.
Strip away the candidate and coalition and it is on the fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza where the seeds of Mitt Romney’s ruin and the RNC’s get out the vote (GOTV) effort collapsed — bled to death by charlatan consultants making millions off the party, its donors, and the grassroots.
66 Canal Center Plaza is also why Jeff Larson, the Chief of Staff of the Republican National Committee, should not be put in charge of the autopsy of the GOP’s defeat. Multiple sources confirm to me that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has already put Larson in charge of the so called autopsy.
This is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. The fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza reveals a tangled web of incestuous relationships among Republican consultants who have made millions all while the GOP went down the tubes. Here the top party consultants waged war with conservative activists and here they waged war with the Democrats. On both fronts, they raked in millions along the way with a more fractured, minority party in their wake. And they show no signs of recognizing just how much a part of the problem they are.
