I was amused at the recruitment ad , disguised as a Letter to the Editor, placed by the Democratic Central Committee that I read in today’s Record Observer. Since the Democrats have such unpalatable candidates for President and Congress, and unappealing stands on issues like taxation and gun control, they decided to base their recruitment effort instead on the justifiable dismissal of a Republican Central Committee member.
I voted for the person that was ousted from the Republican Central Committee and I feel no sympathy for him. I expected that the people that I voted for would work to build the party by recruitment and fundraisers rather then generating controversies – that they would at least show up at meetings.
I was especially disappointed when some of the candidates that I voted for didn’t support their fellow Committee member in her attempt at re-election for State Party Secretary and instead laughed about it on that other blog site. Well they got what they deserved – the State Party is now pushing a more hard-line Conservative agenda that fields candidates to purge the party of it’s more Moderate members.
Instead of jumping parties because you are dissatisfied, why not work to make the local Republican Party more to your liking by working at the County Fair, helping at a fundraiser, or showing up at a Republican Club meeting?
BTW, I am glad to see the Democratic Central Committee never has any Executive Sessions, perhaps the School Board will follow their example when it comes to dealing with Personnel or Legal issues.

Oh my gosh I don't believe this! When Mr Babe was replaced on the Republican Central Committee, everyone seemed to forget a few things. A few things like the couple from Crumpton who were on the committee and did not make countless meetings due to various reasons such as health and travel.
And then there was the member who had not made meetings for at least a year due to health and unfortunately passed away. I could go on and on but since these people, who were all good people by the way, sided with the Committee on all issues, were never even thought to have been replaced.
Yes, the same "committee" people who pushed to have Mr Babe removed because he was an independent thinker, conveniently forgot about these prior members. Guess the "committee" either forgot or were jealous that Mr Babe blew them away with the amount a votes he received. But hey, that's alright, they were only voters from our County. Heaven forbid a member go against the Queen Anne's County Building Committee" ooops I meant the "Republican Central Committee" insiders!
Good 'ole Queen Anne's County politics, gotta love it!
Now please Queen Anne's Buzz, go somewhere else and leave us on this forum alone!

Alcorn, Babe, and Foley got the highest vote counts for the following reasons:
1. They got more coverage and name recognition because they were also running for Commissioner. 2. There last names were from the beginning of the alphabet and were hence placed at the top of the ballot. 3. They got additional name recogition by being endorced by a PAC.
Kurt got the highest of all because he was a very outspoken President of the Taxpayers Association.
None of these reasons justifies any kind of a mandate. Kurt is no Donna Judge.
Once again, what have any of these guys done to build the Party?

Maybe you missed my question; 1.) Why were they not replaced since they next to never made meetings? 2.) Why were they not replaced since they next to never made meetings? 3.) Why were they not replaced since they next to never made meetings? I guess Mr Babe and Alcorn just didn't "fit in" to the clickity click click'!!! When you can tell me why there is a double standard for replacing elected committee members, please reply. Missing meetings is missing meetings, period.

He didn't do his job 3.) He didn't do his job Let's compare resumes: Donna Judge: Chairman of the Queen Anne’s Republican Central Committee. Maryland State Delegate for the Republican Convention and served as the greeter and representative of the State of Maryland for visiting governmental and presidential officials. Member of Governor Robert L. Ehrlich’s “Kitchen Cabinet” and was the director of the committee to elect Governor Ehrlich. Donna was named the Republican Woman of the Year in 2005. Kurt Babe: I'll let you fill this in. Don Alcorn: Ditto. BTW, there is no clique. It only appears that way to those that chose to remain on the sidelines.

And how did the others do there jobs if they were not present for months at a time? In no way am I comparing one member to the other. As I stated in my original post, they were all good people.
My question is simply if the policy applied to one, why not to ALL that missed meetings? Expecially those who did not show up for MONTHS at a time?
All that we are saying is, apply the policy evenly that's all, don't be a bunch of hypocrites.

You know, it really doesn't matter which political party your affiliated with, because although the party may stand for particular ideals, most political candidates have their own agendas . Those running for office will say what they think the majority of the voting population wants to hear to get voted into office and in the process will sell their soul to the devil and make deals to get what they want. Once elected, they forget about their platform that they ran on or party ideals until it's convenient and coincides with what they want.
It happens time and again, in every elected office, be it DCC, RCC, Sheriff, Commissioner, States Atty., Governor, President or whatever. The problem is that once they sell their souls and make the deals to get elected, they are indebted to those folks as long as they want to continue in politics.
Just a little rant about the way I see politics. ;D
