Again, not surprising, it all depends how you look at it. You are looking at the situation as if you were the owner of the team, or at least management or the captain of a sinking ship :)... Your interest is obviously for the "team." Let's just try to win the season and we'll discuss the situation later. My fear is, we if do and 'fall in line,' with the party, that will be the equivalent of submission... All bark and no bite... :) as I like to call it.
I am afraid at this point, many like me simply "had it." Just like it happens everyday... As it just did with the "writers strike in CA," there is a TIME when you have to take sides and hang tough or you will never get the things you want. Again, to my surprise, the writers (not people a like much), hung tough and got the concessions they wanted!... Although they could have been replaced by others and lose the whole thing... BUT THEY HUNG THOUGH and won!
The other side of coin is, I am a nobody! :)... I don't even who in heck runs the Republicans... But I know enough to finally realize, whoever these people are, their agenda is not the one of Social-Conservatives... THAT I KNOW!
But it is not difficult to imagine there must be a huge group of very powerful people, well connected, with lost of $ I am sure, who, very privately...quietly... can flex their muscle to make the GOP do what the party is known for... mainly to protect their interest... which really means, their $$$$$, that is the bottom line as I see it.... Hmmm, which by the way... I wonder, if I were one those rich guys, leaving in a mansion in a paradise in the middle of nowhere, where no peons can ever set foot miles from their homes... Would I be caring about SOCIAL-VALUES? - lol - probably not :)... $$$$ is what I would be after... lots of it and the hell with the rest.
What am I really saying? :)... That I am tired of the team's ownership and management and at this point I could care less what happens to it. I much would rather the season to be a disastrous one... so that CHANGES... will have to take place. Anything less, will simply prolong a painful death.. I'd rather just get it over with quickly and let the chips fall where they may.
One more thought... It will not be the END OF THE WORLD...We'll recover if we can get it together and perhaps we'll come back stronger, hungrier and better. And if we don't... Well... who knows...
Also I would like to state that my interest is not for the "team" (the GOP), but for the nation. I couldn't care less what becomes of the GOP. It's just that right now it is the only available vehicle for opposing the Rat agenda.
I agree that our nation will survive whatever comes. However, I believe in a moral imperative to do what I can to stop a greater evil from taking power, and the Rat party and a Rat administration would definitely bring greater evil.
