It's not going to hurt my feelings if you want to stay with the LCDC. It's not going to hurt my feelings if you just want to focus on getting through this election, and not get involved in any of this sturm und drang. It's really okay.
I mean it.
And thank you for the calls and emails. I really appreciate each and every one.
I'm not quittin' the LCDC.
ReplyDeleteResignations in protest only leave the other side in charge.
Mrs. Miller - As an admirer, let me say I have no idea how you manage to support your family, be the most dynamic volunteer, serve on numerous boards, and still remain the classiest and kindest politicians wife. Kudos to you always.

Thank you. Welcome back to the Loudoun Blog World. Will your blog be back? Will I ever find out who the heck you are?
ReplyDeleteNow, I have to ask this. Does the phrase, "the classiest and kindest politicans wife" mean Liz is the classiest and kindest wife of a politician, or does it mean she is the wife of the politician who is the classiest and kindest?
ReplyDeleteNo, wait...
I don't have to ask.
Liz, you are the only wife of a politician who is as classy and as kind as you are.
I'm with you Liz. I'm staying in the party and plan to take a class on McCarthyism so I have a broader understanding of how Turner and his clique are operating.
ReplyDeleteMr. Miller - Fair question. Liz is classy and kind. You, on the other hand, are tough and inscrutable. Good enough?
ReplyDeleteTo whomever mentioned McCarthy, that would have been the first topic of a blog post if I were in fact coming back. Good historical analogy.

@theoperative: Yes, the disturbing similarity that Mike Turner's Secret Committee to Punish Stevens Miller has to Joe McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee has already crossed many minds. But, I think the comparison is unfair.
ReplyDeleteTo Joe McCarthy.
However misguided and vicious McCarthy might have been, he at least claimed to be chasing enemies of the United States. Turner, who is calling Jim Burton a "back-stabber," and joining Susan Buckley in her praise for Eugene Delgaudio, is supposed to be finding ways to defeat Republicans. Instead, he's devoting LCDC's resources to victimizing Democrats he doesn't like.
Check your history Mr. Miller. HUAC was a house committee. McCarthy was in the senate.
ReplyDelete..and it's OK to quit LCDC - LCDC is NOT tye Democratic party. In fact, it's not Democratic at all, these days
