The entrenched leaders have held the reigns of the Arkansas Republican Party with clenched fists for years. I believe this has been orchestrated by a few people to satisfy their desire for power. They're not controlling much if they've weakened the party to the point we can barely recruit candidates for statewide office in a state that votes solidly Republican when presented with alternatives. We've got to do what WR suggested. We need to reflect the views and values of the everyday Arkansan. We can't reflect what we've historically refused to see. I'm pleased with the new direction we are presently headed. I hope the commitment to the grassroots continues. Once again, you are spot on Mark.

However, it goes to the deeper problem of the GOP playing politics with verbage and crafted statements. When you return to a party of convictions and integrity then this is not necessary. The TRUTH will set us a free. Tsudo @tsudo on Twitter KnowtheNetwork.com Amen. However, it goes to the deeper problem of the GOP playing politics with verbage and crafted statements.

I twitter, facebook, and blog, I am all about change for the better. If the left used it and elected Obama, we need to do the same and not waste any time. As for the younger generation. I am all for that also, I say get rid of the dead weight of days gone by. I am not impressed at all with the Rep. party in this state. I have found a few good people working but in general, a sad example of leadership. I do believe that in Arkansas it is hard to be effective but you have to try. I dead dog can run for office on the Dem ticket and get elected. What does that say about our State or party? Amen, I am 52 and am into the high tech.
