Like almost everything else in modern times politics has changed – in odd ways. In the old days when Jesse would run for Senate the Republican parties scattered across counties across the state had one mission: They figured their job was to elect Republican candidates. A lot of times what they could do was limited because they didn’t have much money but what money they had they spent on candidates.
A decade into the third millennium those days have passed. Instead of giving money to candidates the local parties take money from candidates. A local party has a convention and a candidate has to pony up a donation to the party to get his name in the program; a local party hosts a banquet and a candidate has to make a contribution to set up a table or open a booth to pass out brochures or bumper stickers. According to the newspaper Sunday a week ago, one local party Chairman is actually taking legal action against a candidate who wrote the local party a bad check.
That’s modern times – but it sure seems like the old timers had a better way of doing things.
