Babbidge Would Buck The Ruling Class Elite
Folks, regarding what is supposed to be the Mecklenburg County GOP, it is time we come to grips with the reality of the situation we find ourselves in. The Ruling Class Elite in this community controls every major institituion: both political parties, the major private employers, the mainline churches, the media, the charitable foundations, the major law firms, and the city, county, public school systems.
People that work for these organziations are owned by them. When you control a person’s livelihood you control them. When McCrory was with Duke Energy they paid him to be mayor because he used the office to promote company policy.
When Hugh McColl decided Pat couldn’t be mayor any longer and recrutied Foxx to replace him, Pat was very well taken care of. He was given an inhouse lobbying postion with Moore Van Allen and several corporate board positions. He’s probaby pulling down $300-$400k annually. Not bad for a political science major from Catawba College!!!!
The current GOP Chairman, Rob Bryan, is a partner with Womble Carlyle. I supported him for Chair in 2009. He presented himself as a fiscal/social conservative. When Jennifer Roberts was implementing domestice partner benefits for county employees I asked Rob to speak against the policy. He declined. Said he didn’t have time.
Later I discovered the city and county were both providing abortion benefits in their respective taxpayer funded health plans. Again I asked Rob to take action. Nothing.
My point is, the Ruling Class Elite (RCE) has a stranglehold on the people they control. If they own you and you step out of line, they will crush you. The RCE adhere to a weird combination of socialism/libertinism and they like things in this community just the way they are.
Gideon Moore is one of their guys. He works for one of the big law firms, I think Mcguire Woods, and there ain’t no way in the world he’s free to do the things that need to be done to create a viable GOP in this community. Like Bryan, Anerella, Teague, etc … I suspect his real motivation to be Chair is to pad his resume.
We’re never going to change things by electing RCE’s because as I mentioned, THEY LIKE THINGS JUST THE WAY THEY ARE!!! They are making great money and life is very good.
Scott Babbidge seems to be his own man. He actually wants to accomplish some concrete objectives. We would be very wise to give him a chance to do so. I’m tired of losing, very tired.
Recently Bill James was crucified by the RCE’s for telling this community the truth about homosexuals. The alledged leadership of the GOP: Bryan, Moore, Pendergraph, Neil Cooksey, Bentley, Warren Cooksey, Peacock, Dulin, McCrory, let him twist in the wind.
Leaders have each others backs. This is why we lose. No guts, no passion. I think Scott will call press conferences to attack issues. I think he will be able to raise money and recruit some candidates who have the courage to be hated, I think he will defend elected Republicans who have the backbone to be Republicans.
I urge you to support him for Chairman of the Mecklenbury County GOP.
