Good riddance to one nasty operator. Hopefully, he will move to another county.

Paul, the big issue is that there are very many people who fall for the nonsense that TJ wrote; they are not aware of what their public servants are doing to them.

"visionary leadership of people like Mayors Ballard and Ricketts and Council President Vaughn."

And what "vision" would tha be? A "vision" of insiders walking away with fistfulls of taxpayers money?

That loser took credit for the work of the tea party activists in 2007. He was banking on Ballard losing, not winning.

Tom John barely went through the motions in Ballard's campaign. That election was won by the work of the people. And Tom John wasn't organizing The People. That work was done by us.

I'll never forget the one time I went to GOP HQ to make calls for Ballard. There were a dozen or so people around a big phone table.

Tom John walks in acting like a peaCOCK. He did not acknowledge the volunteers, as if we were nothing more than slaves.

A thank you was too much for him to give. I'll never forget his arrogant condescending air.

I'm glad John is gone, but enough of hacks. When the Democrats fall again to their variation of this inner cycle of greed & corruption, I'd like a more humbled Republican party genuinely representing conservative taxpayers to be around as an alternative.

That's probably as much fantasy as typical Democratic economic theory, but I can hope. Mr. Ogden has expressed interest in trying to rebuild. The Tea-Partiers are a cross-demographic influence. Sooner or later, one way or another, America will meet economic reality. Will there be a party there to better serve the people? I hope so.
