The Truth In Arkansas Politics

Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment says: "Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican." Maybe its time we listened to the Great Communicator and heed his advice.

In a time where Republicans should come together in an effort to move forward, we turn to one of our favorite blogs. At the ArkFam Blog, everytime the party leadership or who should be running the party comes up, the comment pages get hijacked and all we see is Republicans dragging down and publicly attacking fellow Republicans.

The fact is that we need to understand that writing hateful and mostly untrue rumors and inuendos about people on blogs are there for everyone to see. If the people on these blogs truly cared about moving the party forward and not about their own personal gain, they would not publicly attack their fellow Republicans, candidates for jobs, or the very volunteers that make our party so great.

At a time where we should be coming together and building the party up, this same crowd sees this as a time to bring the party down. I would hope that those who want to be the next Executive Director of the Party would go out and talk to members of the party about their qualifications and not waste their time with petty attacks on a blog. It is very clear that many of the comments are coming from the same few people, but putting the party's business on a blog is probably the worst thing for the party right now.

The people putting themselves out there should be encouraged to participate in the party not discouraged by a handful of hateful bloggers...
