Some people crave the limelight. They just do. I'm sure there are a lot of reasons why someone might... but the urge to be next to someone because they're famous is a dangerous thing.

Rush Limbaugh used to say that politics is celebrity / showbiz for the ugly. He's right, but that's profoundly regrettable. We need whatever political activities there happen to be about protecting our life, liberty, and property, not the limelight.

Those who get energized by proximity to political celebrity tend to forget any political principles that they might have had. It's not that we need to accept the policies of a politician, but rather that we need the right politician to advance our policies. There is a great difference. When we give a pass to a politicians who hurt our families as they forward the wrong policies - just because they're in the right party - we fail our families.

We live in a time of transition, where the people have become more and more powerful, realizing that there are more of us than of the few in power. With our vote, we can replace those weak in principle with those strong in principle. We are, and we will continue to do so.

Some political celebrities haven't gotten that message yet. And that's okay. We will organize to defeat and replace them. If that's important to you, then you might recognize those who aren't your allies in this fight because they crave to be near the politically famous. We don't need celebrities; we need the right policies.
