		<description>I feel tempted to ask why G.E. so vehemently believes that Redpath &lt;i&gt;et al.&lt;/i&gt; are corrupt criminals, but I figure that&#039;s a bad idea. I imagine, that in G.E.&#039;s mind, Redpath&#039;s &quot;criminal empire&quot; is so obvious that anyone who fails to see it is &quot;tolerant of corruption&quot; and/or an idiot.</description>

		<description>&quot;What do you expect us to do with the 60+ files you sent us?&quot;

Have an INFORMED opinion instead of just an opinion. (Or publish them if you get bored and want to start a shit storm).</description>

		<description>G.E., you are right. Mass can use anybody they want. In fact if the national LP wants to use him, THAT&#039;S really none of my business either since I&#039;m no longer a member of the national LP.

I just made the point that if Phillies was willing to hire someone with Fincher&#039;s background, then his comments on hiring others is less credible. That&#039;s my opinion and I respect your right to disagree with it.

Hey, I&#039;m just putting the info out there. What ANYBODY does with it is THEIR business.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d recommend that whoever gets this job is going to be a crook, or at the very least, tolerant of crooks, and that&#039;s just the way it&#039;s going to be. If we can engineer Regime Change in 2010, then we might be able to hire someone as competent as Wes -- maybe even Wes himself. I have no reason to believe Wes is corrupt, just that he&#039;s tolerant of corruption -- he&#039;ll &quot;look the other way,&quot; as he obviously has since he supported Redpath for re-election.

But if the DeFraud neocon Caucus is able to ensure a low turnout in &#039;10, then we&#039;re screwed &#039;til &#039;12. The good news: The DeFraud spoils system is hemorrhaging cash and it certainly cannot continue to feed off its host for another four years. The plan to nominate a neocon elitist has backfired, and even sacrificing every possible libertarian principle in an effort to appeal to racist warmongers hasn&#039;t brought in any bucks and will not translate into votes. If the DeFraudster&#039;s had any shame -- which they don&#039;t -- they&#039;d all crawl under a government-owned rock and stay away from the LP forever. But they&#039;ll keep at it until the well runs dry.</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t say I &quot;didn&#039;t like&quot; Wes.

I said anyone who condones Bill Redpath&#039;s actions as chair, before or after his re-election, is too tolerant of corruption to be trusted in the position Wes seeks.

Whom do I suggest?

It doesn&#039;t matter. Because anyone who&#039;s against the Redpath regime&#039;s crimes will not be hired. A crony criminal will get the job, bilk the part for $100k a year or more, and then we&#039;ll have a convention in Hawaii where only the neocon libertines will be able to attend, etc., ad infinitum.</description>

		<description>G.E., 

You don&#039;t like Wes because of his support of Redpath, which I&#039;m unsure why he does, but it&#039;s his opinion. Who exactly would you recommend for this job?</description>

		<description>Yes Mr. Phillies, I WAS referring to Gary Fincher. You know, the guy who created a public relations and legal nightmare in New Mexico by falsifying social security numbers on voter registration forms and lying to voters about changing their party registrations. Your using him in MA was a slap in the face of every Libertarian - and voter - in New Mexico.

No doubt Fincher and his friends will want another round of &quot;did not&quot; and &quot;did too.&quot; Save it. I&#039;ve sent the documentation of what happened in NM to a number of blogs, including this one. 

I trust Mr. Benedict, if selected, would keep this man on national&#039;s &quot;do not hire&quot; list.</description>

		<description>Even though I respect the opinion of my friend GE, I disagree in this situation. What Wes has done for our Texas group is amazing. He would be a great pick for Executive Director and will make us all forget the &quot;Shane Cory&quot; era.</description>
