19. Unless you guys find a viable Primary candidate now
Wed Nov 12, 2014, 11:19 AM
Nov 2014

It will be an uphill battle with the National Party Power Players (see the Barbara Buono campaign in NJ 2013) - but there has GOT to be someone you guys can run against the national party.

Everyone is so focused on the President - they forget - we need to inflict pain on our opponents at ALL levels. I'm fifty/fifty on running for a town council position. We have a Democratic council member (yes even in our tiny borough) who wants to play kissy face with the people outside of the town who basically voted for the Penn East Pipeline (Lance/Bell) last week.

No - this Democratic party member has zero tolerance for their future need for clean water NOT meaning massive installation/tap in prices/maintenance fees for those McMansion owners off of route 202.

I'm probably losing you with this local nonsense - but at the end of the day - we are going to have to get:

1. Local
2. Mean
3. Show our dark side

Playing patty cake kissy face nicey nice will get us nothing - and that's what Nixon is doing - playing kissy kissy with the 'supposed' opposition party.

There's GOT to be just ONE someone in MO who can put up a strong primary challenge should he decide to run for Senate.

Then if the National Party buys him the 'win' - stay home. I don't want that man voting on jack shit for black people (myself) in NJ. He's proven he's worthless and against us.
