KvM just refuses to get it

I'm not going to link because there is no point in sending reasonable people there pissed at KvM's crap of late. I have come to the conclusion after conversations with quite a few other conservatives who agree that KvM is a marionette of the upper echelon of the GOP. I used to think that they were independent, but I find that belief harder to justify when they keep acting like they are taking marching orders from Hoplin-ites...the rhetoric is similar. When they come back down to Earth they will get their respect back.

Today's version of why they are out of touch with the "dumb" grassroots is here. In trying to legitimize the claims from KvM and its contributors other blogs claims that RonE's ousting was "mutiny" and "betrayal" and "end of the party" KvM says,

"our concern was about the practical effect of severing the Governor’s tether to the leadership of his own party while a special legislative session is underway."

How stupid is that statement? That is one of those things that KvM should considering deleting from the blog. Here is how the logic must go for that statement to be valid.
1) Pawlenty's endorsement of RonE should carry no risk (which endorsements carry).
2) Pawlenty's endorsement should be the marching order of the GOP...even though Pawlenty has done a fine job of alienating the conservatives lately to appease the left.
3) Voters for a state party chair election should only consider the fact that there is a special session that is going on in the State Legislature.

I cannot believe that a sane, rational, educated person would make such an abject statement.

He goes on...believe it or not it gets worse.

[W]e feared turning over the keys to a new driver could undermine both the Governor’s re-election and Congressman Kennedy’s corresponding chances.

Check with the experts. I suggest Gerry Daly. That link is so irrelevant that it would not be worth considering. Droning on as KvM and others have been with passive aggressive sophomoric shots will eventually make the impact. Unless Carey acts like Howard Dean there is very little direct effect between an election for party chair and the public's receptiveness to an unendorsed candidate for Senate or sitting Governor running for re-election as a possible launch towards a run for President.

Finally KvM closes this particular litany of stupidity with this gem:

But — like good conservatives — we will defer to our elders.

You just don't get it. Deferring to the elders has been the problem. The top-down dictatorship was elected out of chair and into Deputy Chair (because to few in MN know the real style of a Hoplin administration). There is no "deferring to the elders" but instead a preference towards deferring to the people. What scares me now about KvM (and consequently Kennedy's campaign by proxy through KvM's support of the candidate) is (1) the dogmatic adherence to top-down, king-making, anti-democratic leaders and pursuits and (2) the complete inability to understand the complaints from those that are feeling disenfranchised within the party. Keep going the way you are (especially since your master lost the election Saturday) and there will be a sizeable exodus from the MN GOP.

Listen for a change to those that you disparage. You actually might learn something. It is like watching Vader and the Emperor...KvM takes their talking points and marching orders, and deep down we all know they have the intelligence to know better, the compassion to listen honestly to the little people (the ones they keep saying are not worthy of being deferred to, too dumb to know what we want, etc).

We'll see. But I'm losing hope and Kennedy is losing an advocate. KvM and the other contributors are creating instead adversaries within the party.
