Or do you think that CAPA... or more to the point - the DPA - can get that same level of access? Look, I hate the national politicians with a passion. Bribing them to do their ****ing jobs is as distasteful to me as it would be to see the Gators win the national championship. (I would pull for the Taliban over FU).. But what other choice do we have? You want to close up shop to save a few bucks on dues money? That is a guaranteed loss.
Absolutely agree. We play their corrupt and repulsive, rigged game. We spend PAC $ and lobby until we are down and about to be knocked out.
Then, I think we need to do what we need to do.
Saving $ by changing horses takes away the ability to pull of an SOS. It isn't even a credible threat. Sometimes the threat, or bark rather, is better than the bite.
