Change doesn’t happen in a vacuum -- it needs people to make it happen.

Often times I wonder what thoughts people have as they read the opinions I post -- which is why I have said, "I welcome your thoughts and opinions"

Occasionally I do get the odd comment, and they are appreciated ... whether you agree with me or not.  I appreciate them as I would like this to be a bit of a sounding board for me, and for you.  The other thing is, it gives me the opportunity to take a fresh look at what I think, and why.

Today, someone took a quick moment to drop me a line with regards to a post I had a couple of days ago ... that was; The argument of last resort … the one of desperation … “Don’t split the vote".

This person posted their comment anonymously, and so I have no idea who they are.  Regardless, in their comments, they made a very valid and important point ... we are not always going to agree 100% with the policies of any political party.  Here is what they had to say:
I'm a libertarian Conservative and am proud of my leader. Not religious at all. In fact, I initially only joined the party for a year in order to determine, whether or not, it was too far social right for me.

My interactions with and the statements from our party leaders led me to signed up for the full 5 year program and get directly involved with the New West CA.

I'm with Alan on this. i.e.  Do I agree with every direction he takes our party? Nope. (The only person I agree 100% with is my wife. Even when I don't, she reminds me I do.)
