I am willing to fight all sorts of battles. I DO in fact. I am willing to do a few drive by critiques as well. I am ALSO willing to lay out a fiery tirade as needed to get some needed attention. And I reserve the right to get all woe is me at a point where the outcome is clearly not what I care for.

Shostak has a problem. But I am not going to dump on him. As top cheeze for the MIGOP he has to serve the RINOs while they exist and the true Republican folks who are inserting themselves more every day. His job is to make sure the party is still operational, so must serve all aspects. Becoming involved internally is the best way to affect how the message is handled.
