I think buchannan should hang it up and let another take the lead. I would support Brian Mcgarry to lead and restructure what is left of the rep party. I believe he is a registered con, but as we have seen, people are changing party affiliations like their underwear. This would be the first move in a positive direction for the reps. IMHO

As a Republican committee person, I would not support anyone being appointed as party chair unless they were and enrolled Republican. Brian is a nice man and good father, but unless he enrolls Republican, forget it.

I mentioned before that he is a registered con....that can be remedied at the board of elections! And brian is more than a nice man and a good father. He is one of the most conservative, service minded, honest men I have met in a long time. I am a registered blank, and there are tons of us out there. Perhaps HE could bring us into the rep fold. Perhaps? He and oconner would fill the bill nicely. THEY would bring in the new blood to the rep party....with dignity might I add.
Littlefield would be equally as great, but hopefully, he will have bigger fish to fry!

This is actually funny, given the huge events of today. Did you ask Brian about this?-lol-
Brian McGarry is moving ahead while the REPS continue to implode. Forget about Howdy "hanging it up"-he must be chased out along with a handful of bunker boys. Carolina or Brad would be huge improvements.

Benny....first of all we are just talking here. These are just people that 'we' think would be good in a position. k? Second, from what I know of carolina, she is a nice person and does have a place 'somewhere'....but clearly not in the leadership role of the rep party. Any way, I thought she switched to con...no?

I too have bigger fish to fry. My goals have absolutely nothing to do with rebuilding a party.
I was wondering is Brian McGarry knew anything about being a party to the latest talk of the town: The "New Year Day's Massacre." His joining that IDA to be a part of the Mallozzii takeover makes me wonder if he even knew since I am not so sure he did. I don't think you will see him joining with the Democrat-liberals on many things friends.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Yanno GB, this whole thing stinks to high heaven ... talk about a setup? Seems like there was an awful lot these bastards knew BEFORE the elections ... and intentionally withheld from running-mates, partners and party faithful/leadership. Something is just plain dirty here. Oh wait, it's Schenectady, never mind.
/me walks away still shaking my head in disgust, thankful I'm not a part of it.
Mobile Terminal--you make me laugh. Did you ALL not see this coming? BM doesn't go to the debate (and rightfully so) but he does go to Mallozzi's after the election. And whoever else went with him that night to Mallozzi's also knew and is probably waiting for his seat somewhere maybe another committee maybe needs support to be town justice-- something. And you guys are walking away shaking your heads.
Maybe BM is not a liberal but his heels may not be dug in as deep anymore. That is NOT a criticism just speculation on my part.
Mammals, most other animals, and higher plants as well, have evolved mechanisms to avoid inbreeding of any sort. Some, like sweet cherries, have even evolved elaborate biochemical mechanism to ensure that their flowers can not be fertilized by themselves or by very genetically similar individuals. Most pack animals (like lions, primates, and dogs),kick young males out of the pack so as to prevent them from mating with female relatives. Humans have very strong taboos against mating with relatives. Even fruit-flies apparently have a sensing mechanism to avoid too close of inbreeding, even in a closed population they maintain more genetic diversity than they ought to by random mating.
Why do living things avoid inbreeding? Because in general, it is quite bad for a population or an organism to be very inbred. There is a well studied, although only partially understood phenomenon called inbreeding depression.
Inbreeding depression is thought to be caused primarily by the collection of a multitude of deleterious mutations, few in themselves fatal, but all diminishing fitness. Normally, in an outbreeding population these alleles would be selected against, hidden, or corrected by the presence of good alleles (versions of genes) in the population.
We generally think that mutations arise only once in a great while. That is certainly true for individual genes and specific kinds of mutations. However scientists have measured mutation rates in humans, chimpanzees and gorillas and discovered that there are roughly 4.2 mutations/individual/generation that affect the actual final proteins encoded by the genes. (A, Eyre-Walker, P. D. Keightly, Nature 397:344-347. 1999). Of these mutations about 1.5 are deleterious, in other words would cause harm to the animal if they were homozygous. The scientists who performed this analysis suspect that their numbers are actually artificially low for a variety of valid reasons, and estimate that the actual number may be closer to 3 deleterious mutations per individual per generation.
So how come we don't all have tons of genetic diseases? The answer to that is fairly simple, sexual reproduction, and the shuffling of alleles of genes that occurs when two unrelated individuals mate.
When that shuffling can't happen because both parents already have mostly the same alleles, the result will be inbreeding depression, if not in a given litter, then in a few more generations of such breedings.
Inbreeding depression encompasses a wide variety of physical and health defects. Any given inbred animal generally has several, but not all, of these defects. These defects include:
Elevated incidence of recessive genetic diseases
Reduced fertility both in litter size and in sperm viability
Increased congenital defects such as cryptorchidism, heart defects, cleft palates.
Fluctuating assymetry (such as crooked faces, or uneven eye placement and size).
Lower birthweight
Higher neonatal mortality
Slower growth rate
Smaller adult size, and
Loss of immune system function.
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
