The IPOD, the party of open government and transparency, again made its nominations for statewide and assembly races last night, in secret. The party of inclusion had three of its members on its executive committee make the nominations. These three member’s choices?
Ralph Nader for President. Immediately I question their sanity.
Tom Savage for Insurance Commissioner. Their insanity is confirmed.
James Spencer for State Representative in the 27th District. Who?
This is in addition to Mike Protack, the IPOD’s nominee for Governor. The IPOD has a problem. All four of its nominees are not members of their party. I am sure Ralph Nader doesn’t know what IPOD is, either the party of the nice music playing device made by Apple. Another problem, the party of openness and inclusion had one only other party member attended the convention, in addition to the three executive committee members (by the way, where the hell is this fourth member? He or she is always missing). The other six people attending were candidates or people accompanying or representing candidates.
The lone party member attending? Liz Allen. She left the meeting before the nominations because she objected to the meeting taking place, and her objection was overruled.
At least this time, the IPOD met in an actual meeting venue (the Long Neck community center) rather than a Grotto’s.
