Considering only 30% voted for him I think the other 70% new it would back fire at some point just not this big! :o

Fire! Ready! Aim! :o

Amen and Amen. The majority has spoken.........oh wait, never mind. Thankfully that little hole in the system has been plugged.

Considering less than 35% of us voted for him (actually I think it was closer to 25%), I don't know what makes anyone think 35% of the fqs (much less 50%+1) would feel confident in his leadership.

The best thing BT (prez) can do for his campaign promise to deliver the managers would be to resign and let Lonestar BT (VP) provide leadership we can all believe in.

Bob and Tom are doing a great job, just ask them and they will tell while they pat themselves on the back. If you dare question them you will get a tounge lashing about minding your own business and to stay out of the EB's! The IPA is for all of us as long as you agree with the big boys.

Your statement describes bullies, not "big boys". Sadly, I can not dispute the rest of what you say.

In many ways, this mirrors national politics, not in the least what kind of an organization this is. Like this country, the IPA is in effect a representative republic infused with elements of mostly benevolent dictatorship and monarchy. :D

In the salad days it was much of the time a not-so-benevolent dictatorship and ubur-monarchy with almost complete and absolute control at the top with the remaining members of the EB entrusted with strategic information and power, but largely at the beck and call/control of Miller. In the day it largely worked pretty well with a few glaring exceptions (like the FQS issue at its beginning-some suggest Miller's actions have already doomed the effort, thank you very much), the numerous side letters and gave aways the building scam which cost him re-election against Nicholson. The Nicholson administration could be likened to the invasion of Iraq, where Fallujan loyalists loyal to Miller started placing IED's all over the place before Nicholson ever set foot in the Mahal...and it cost us big time. Now, we have Thrush, who I'll admit has some rough edges, but for my money is the most stalwart defender of the CBA and our position by far and away. Flanked with Tom and Lonestar despite this blunder I remain confident that we're better off than any other scenario.

So...you genius' want a coup? Until what...one of you can strut in and tell us how it really is? Realllllly?

Outstanding.

Go on and have a protest at the Mahal. Camp out in the lobby flexed cuffed to each other chanting slogans and showering/washing your hair in the landscaping sprinklers with hotel soap and shampoo like you're in Wisconsin...maybe you'll get on the SDF local news or Rachel Maddow.

This is disgustingly accurate.!!!!!!!!!

BT is the best, the only real leader we have had. In my 11 yrs here. The fqm situation will still be dealt with.

If your measure of "best" is ineffective tough talk as opposed to results, then I agree with you. As to the fqs situation, I hope you are right, but I doubt it.
