Me, I’d gladly pull spikes all night if necessary to derail McVain. God, the “major speech” he just gave was just frightening.
But talkshow hosts and commentators are NOT POLITICIANS. Asking one of them to BECOME a politician is like asking a movie critic to write a script.
Running a Government is just like running a very large business - no matter how right and bright the top man may be, he’s got to have a team of middle management and workers that know what they are doing. The top man has to know how to select people, give them a mission, negotiate conflicts, monitor results. THAT’S what doesn’t exist in the Libertarian party, which is why it’s such a failure.
We need a Tom Tancredo or a Duncan Hunter who is willing to take the chance. And then we’d need the money and management to build an organization that would have a chance to take over the Gummint successfully if we won the election. This is where the rubber meets the road, and why Dr. Paul fails so miserably. An organization of bloggers and malcontents does not make a political party.
How to coalesce a legion of genuine Conservatives who have management smarts around a third party is the problem.
I don’t know the solution. Wish I did.
If you don’t mind I will add you to the list of people to be included as this effort develops.
I should clarify one thing. By “champions” I mean people who are prominent and can communicate the message to many people. They may be politicians, but they don’t necessarily need to be.
