Ruminations from inside the vast right wing conspiracy.

Immigration and Ken Calvert. They Actually Are Related.

When I declared war on Ken Calvert I made two points. First, his appointment is a sign the House GOP Leadership does not get it and they need to get it to win back the House. Second, unless we scalp a Republican, the GOP Leadership will not take us seriously.

And as I’ve tried to say more delicately, it’s not that they don’t treat me seriously, they don’t treat you seriously. They don’t. If you don’t believe me, ask John Linder, a member of the House GOP Steering Committee. Today in the Atlanta Journal, Linder says

“I really don’t pay much attention to blogs,” he said. “You can say anything on those blogs without any attribution and get away with it.” Liberal blogs have been influential, the Georgia lawmaker acknowledged. But he dismissed their conservative counterparts, saying, “I don’t pay any attention to them.”

So when you are calling Capitol Hill to complain about immigration, remember how seriously Republican leaders treat you.

And then think how much more seriously they treat you after we’ve scalped Ken Calvert.

    No Erick, do you see how much gratitude Redstate gets for speaking the talking points for so long? These arrogant lawmakers need to be voted out of office! This makes me so angry, I am just about ready to fly to DC and raise some hell!

    In 2006, my friend Clayton asked if I wanted to start a horse race style blog of Georgia politics. It evolved into a site that tries to cover the state objectively, without just being a place to mouth off the party line. It's been a fun release to get away from right wing activism and just cover politics as a hobby. Check it out at www.peachpundit.com
