It's time for a fresh start for local Democrats who have been beaten down time after time in recent elections. Hopefully whoever is elected will breathe new life and energy to the party that used to dominate the Clark Co. political scene in years past. Whoever succeeds Galligan has their work cut out for them as many former, fair weather Democrats have jumped ship to the GOP lately .These trends run in cycles but Republicans are dominating elections right now, county and state wide
As a lifelong Democrat here's hoping the party caucus takes their duty seriously in choosing someone dedicated, energetic and with the personality to attract new member and candidates , so that once again Democrats can be prominent here in Clark Co.
Some of the names thrown around as possibly interested are current Jeffersonville city council members Dustin White and Josh Rodriquez both viable candidates in The BatBlog's opinion. Also mentioned has been Diane Swank. The BatBlog won't make a choice in this race we just hope whoever wins will dedicate themselves to working hard to bring the local Democratic party success once again....
Sorry, but the Clark County Democratnistas are doomed.
ReplyDeleteStill think the canal would have been a great addition to downtown Jeff, but that is no longer an option.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Democratic Party, perhaps it's the message and not just the messenger? Just a thought as they seem to be loosing nation wide. Maybe come back to the middle a little. You gotta have more to offer than just saying no to every republican idea.
Just a thought
The Democrats are toast.
ReplyDeleteAward Winning Bat Blog Pol Analysis
ReplyDeleteI.)The Democrats lost 1,043 elected state reps, state senators, governors,
and congress members (both senators and representatives) during
Barrack Hussein Obama's eight years of control
in the White House.
1,043.,
II.) The capable leadership "in the middle" for the Democrats is totally gone,
as it has been ridiculed, purged, strangely belittled, and now replaced
in the Democrat Party by the 'Looney Leftist Elites'.,
III.)In the distant past, the Loonies were always welcome in the Democrat Party,
but never actually "ran" it. They fully participated and were politely tolerated.
Now, they are in total control and have destroyed the party. There is NO
inclusiveness anymore in the Democrat Party. The purge of the
historical full spectrum of persons is complete.,
IV.) The "1% Elites" at the top of the globalist
empire have manipulated the leftist Loons , controlling
and encouraging this purge and have directed the extremists seizing of power.
V.) Powerful, shadowy, corrupt power hungry figures like George Sorros
have contributed to the nation's national demise and subsequent
morass for their own globalist elitist reasons.,
VI.) The Democrat Party is hollowed out by the radicals. The nation
is rejecting them as part of America's recovery from the
destruction of the economy and their abuse of our freedoms
they have caused. The current selfish leadership reflects and supports
this extreme shift to the far left.,
VII. Woe, bro.
This post is about the "Local" Democratic party which as you referred has been "ran" by it's own set of "Loons" and which are about to be "purged" hopefully for the better showing in future "local" election results.
DeleteYour "alleged" demise of the National Democratic party is greatly exaggerated. Democrats out polling the GOP by millions of votes nationally in the recent presidential election.
Another set of extremists radicals in office now , need to show they represent and will work for "All" Americans...The verdict is still out...The BatBlog will be watching
"Remain Vigilant"
That's exactly the point, the democratic point of view does not reach out to anyone who even remotely disagrees with even the most trivial thing. It it all their way or they run off screaming that you are a notizie racist homophobic.
ReplyDeleteThe 1043 number IS accurate. It IS an eight year rout.
ReplyDeleteLocally, TG and the supporters
in the Clark County Democrat Party worked
loyally and diligently to elect their locals, plus Evan Bayh,
John Gregg, Cheryl Yoder, and....Hilary Clinton..... They were VERY
confident of victory and had no idea of the steamroller
that was coming. They tired very hard.
The potential change in leadership,
if you read the Clark County Democrats Facebook page,
certainly reflects the same old-same-old beliefs
that are expressed by the persons
posting there.
Those persons were at the forefront
of the Democrat ground effort the past few years.
The proposed change is very incremental and is still ideologically
in tune with the destructive theology
of the national Democrats.
Maybe H-T can step up and assist them with some new ideas and direction!
Hoosier Taxpayer for Clark County Commissioner?
For Sheriff?
A Bat Blog Ticket would rock!
Hoosier for prez, Goliath for VP😱
ReplyDeleteIf nominated I will not run , if elected I will not serve...
DeleteOh lord. I hear Johns Perkins is going to be the chair....kidding that I have heard that but not counting it out.
ReplyDeleteRiverfool
Don't laugh too soon RF... this is a majority of the same caucus that placed him as County Commissioner. Supposedly his girlfriend Diane Swank is interested in the position as well...
DeleteWe need a Nominating Caucus
ReplyDeleteto elect H-T and Pesty Flannigan for Pres and VP !
That is solid, bro!
If they are denied the automatic, entitlement of victory in the race, we will organize and protest!
Raise a Fist at the Establishment!
"Not my Government!"
"Bat Blog Lives Matter!"
Why do I think of a magazine when I hear her name ?
ReplyDeleteNone of us have any idea what four years of Trump will do for the Democrat Party.
ReplyDeleteJust like Obama gave rise to an angry Tea Party, I believe we will have a similar movement within the Democrat Party.
Republicans locally are foolish, absolutely foolish, if they believe that power is Theirs to keep forever. Remember Democrats thought that too.
Local dems are just as screwed as national. Dustin White, Diane Swank or Josh Rodriguiz for party chair...bwahaha. not an oz of charisma in either of the three. May as well be Pelosi, Al Franken or crybaby Schumer.
ReplyDeleteThe only democrat that has any possibility of getting votes from both sides is Kevin Vissing and the dirty rats have kicked him off their facebook page for being too reasonable. Forty years wandering in the wilderness is the fate of democratic party thanks to Galligan's leadership and now John Perkins Swank is the likely party chair.
Jamie Noel says winning elections is like taking candy from babies.
Well, if anyone knew about taking candy from babies it'd be that Bobby Hill doppelgänger.
DeleteDemocrats because of the national trend have a tough road to travel...Trump may change that trend but the way it stands now whoever succeeds Gilligan will have a tough job to bring Democrats back into prominence...
DeletePelosi, Franken, and Schumer and locally White, Swank-Perkins, and Rodriquez .....
ReplyDeleteExcellent comparison. Someone is astutely paying attention.
The Voodoo thing is in play....

ReplyDeleteSo, a "faction" of the Democrats that has no tolerance has kicked the only county level office holder to win in 2016 as a D off "their" local Facebook page?
What is on that page that so restricted and controlled?
The page: Democratic Party of Clark County, Indiana
I'm looking forward to a resurgent local Democratic Party. Bring it on.
ReplyDeleteWith Trump and Pence both covering up the Michael Flynn Russian contacts, it won't be long before the Executive Branch implodes. Get ready.
ReplyDeleteI agree I think it's already started. The swamp was drained and refilled with the billionaire boys club who haven't a clue how to run a country. And how about that official meeting at the Florida party house ? Democrats will be back in charge in four years. Our country is a mess and the world is laughing at us.
DeleteOK, Ok, Ok...Trump, Hillary, and Obama walk into a bar.
ReplyDeleteThe bartender, who actually is an undercover CIA agent, says:_______________
It seems that Bill is in Moscow partying with Putin and the hot Russian chicks!
ReplyDeleteGalligan does not know.
ReplyDeleteRodriquez does nor know.
Noel does not know.
Dustin and Diane may know.
Terri does know!
