FABULOUS FAIL: GINGER HOWARD RUNS FOR BORG QUEEN

Ginger Howard is running for Georgia national committee woman and ended her campaign on the Valerie Sergent Martin show after getting completely destroyed by the aforementioned host. Just not in the way you think. No, there were no knock down drag out, gotcha questions from a host frothing at the mouth to get ratings by turning an interview into a cage match; rather a good listen to Valerie Martin’s little Q and A with the ambitious fashion bug reveals that Martin is indeed a master at tossing out the rope in which one can dutifully go and hang themselves.

Valerie Sargent Martin

Valerie Sergent Martin is a fun one to watch and I do recommend you give her show a listen when you can. It is no secret that she is a Ron Paul\Liberty movement supporter and this little fact has made her quite the bone of contention in the 8th congressional district of Georgia’s republican party. Say what you will about her, and some do, but there simply can be no denying that when many people talk, she is willing to add to those words the actions that go along with them. After joining the party, running a campaign for congress, helping to rally the Paul Bots inside the system and now establishing herself as a figure in the alternative media, I think it’s safe to say that no one from the establishment is giving her any handouts. Disagree with her tactics and methods if you must, but no objective observer can say in honesty that what she is doing is by anyone else’s steam but her own. Her interview with Ginger Howard is an excellent example of what I’m talking about and I think that all in all it was a wonderful public service to those active within the party. Because as far as I am concerned, by the time the interview had wrapped up Valerie had pretty much owned the living crap out of her guest without ever having to raise her voice, hurl insults, or play the rest of the pundit game.

Right out of the gate you get her credentials as to why she should be the National Committeewoman and with those of you who like to boil down information to its basest you probably picked up that her best qualification is that she can phone bank with a suthun twang. When Valerie gives her a second crack at it she pulls out the “small business owner” card. Now I don’t mean to belittle small business owners, I work for one, so I know it’s quite a thing to do, much less maintain but at the end of the day that really doesn’t hold much water for me. It shows me you know how to turn a little bit of a profit and in case you haven’t been paying attention, the problem with our government is that there are too many people in it who know how to turn a little profit. Knowing how to run a small business doesn’t mean you know anything about freedom and liberty or the constitution. For that matter it doesn’t even mean you have your head screwed on straight because at one time the pet rock was a small business too and the thought of having a rock as a pet is just stupid regardless of if you’re a hippy or not.

Valerie, who at this point I imagine, has already ascertained that her guest is another carbon copy fresh off the GOP printing presses, tries yet again to set up the ball on a tee for Mrs. Howard and asks what a committee woman does exactly. It gets awkward for the next few minutes as Howard tries her best to answer the question like a little girl in front of the class regurgitating the cliff notes she memorized the night before. While listening you can almost see her with her eyes closed and her fists bobbing in front of her as she makes it from bullet point to bullet point stammering the whole way through. It’s easy to tell when someone knows what they are talking about because it never comes off scripted and ham-fisted which is not what I got from her description of the position she is aiming for.

Then of course we get the very rare qualification of being a communicator. She’s a communicator. She can communicate…uh huh. Guess that should seal the deal then. Unfortunately when I see a little baby gurgling out carrots and beats onto its bib with a bubbly laugh I understand that to be communication as well so being a communicator really isn’t saying much now is it? She also makes it a point to bring up how much of a unifier she is which is the tip of the iceberg I know is soon to tear right into the hull of her cruise liner. Cruise liner with a pink feather boa.

Ginger Howard

At this point anyone listening could tell that Valerie was done trying to help the sugar dumplin’ candidate out of the ditch she had clawed her way into. Which isn’t kosher for someone as fashion conscious as this gal. No, Valerie is done and will now go on to destroy any credibility her guests’ campaign ever hoped to have. The cool thing is, she did it by simply allowing her guest to flap her gums and let the listeners sort out that Ginger Howard is about as qualified for public office as Miss Piggy without a hand up the orifice where a Muppet hand operators’ digits go.

Valerie asks her guest how she would heal the division within the republican party and the answer is what pretty much invites the fork of doneness. You see there is a division in the republican party and it’s the old faithful republicans who will eat glass for anyone with an R after their name against the up and coming, liberty loving, Ron Paul supporters trying to fix the broken nature of our government. Now Valerie didn’t have to word it like this because let’s face it, who is listening to her show? People like me who already get that the two party system is nothing more than a farce and the republican party is simply the right wing of the party the democrats belong to as well. We don’t have to have this laid out for us in a question instead merely listen and see if the guest is going to show any glimmer of actually knowing what is right and what is wrong instead of chanting neoconservative talking points. At this point Ginger Howard really revs up with her sales pitch and what is delivered is exactly what I was expecting, another mindless, drone mantra about having to put all our differences aside and unite behind the nominee in order to defeat Obama.

This is at the very core of why the republican party is in such a state of disrepair and to tell you the truth I’m sick and tired of hearing such an asinine line of reasoning from these people. No, anybody is not better than Obama and the goal is not to oust one socialist from the White House only to install another because this isn’t a friggin team sport. This is the future of our country and no one running for office seems to understand that this attitude of Machiavellianism, or sacrificing ideals for victory is exactly what got us John McCain and ultimately Barak Obama. The republican party is suppose to stand for individual liberty but all the people running within it are urging us to shed our individuality and unite. It’s all about uniting, coming together, putting our differences aside so we can save the country from legislation like the NDAA by running a guy who supports NDAA. What nitwittery is this? I would much rather have a candidate that says “Justice, may the heavens fall” any day of the week over one that says “Justice is made by the winners” because where that leads us is to places like Cambodia and Tiananmen square.

Republican National Committeewoman

I am a Ron Paul supporter. The reason I am a Ron Paul supporter is because the man is solidly grounded in the foundation of the Constitution and the concepts of individual liberty for all people. His record proves the man cannot be moved to compromise and what’s so funny about that is the party claiming to endorse all the causes as he refuses to give him the respect he is due. So, no thank you Ginger Howard. I will not be eating any of your cupcakes of mediocrity no matter how much icing you put on top. I want exceptional in my public servants. I want people who understand that when a cause is just there is never a need to unite because those in the right are already headed in the same direction. I, and a whole bunch of other folks this time around, will not be bending over to play your game of voting for anyone but Obama. Get a new line already.

Valerie pretty much set the trap on her show with carefully honed questions designed to let her listeners get everything they needed while still staying a good distance away so Ginger Howard could waddle right into the pit. Now I have no idea if in actuality that is what her intent was but I think that a good listen will have everyone else just as convinced as I that the host certainly wasn’t doing the stale neoconservative guest any favors with the breadcrumb questions.

Let this be a lesson to future would be public servants that it’s probably not a good idea to lean on Rush and the boys for your pedigree anymore because the people taking over your party have this neat thing called the internet and we don’t buy your canned principles.
