Is legal weaselry a family value?

The integrity of the New Mexico Republican Party is on the line.

One of the Grand ol' Party's, good ol' boys has broken one of
their good ol' rules link; and the brouhaha cannot be hidden.
The allegation will be resolved on the record.

The Rules Committee of the NMRP will do the resolving.

The allegation is that a standard of conduct remains unmet.

The defense will ride on "what the meaning of the word 'is' is;
and upon other technicalities, loopholes, and legal weaselry.

They will argue that by circumventing the election process, link
they also circumvented the rule that required Jon Barela
to vacate his state office in the NMRP before contesting
the public office against other republicans.

The Rules Committee of the New Mexico Republican Party
will decide whether or not the rules apply to the good ol' boys.

They will decide if the rules can be simply swept away by some
indefensible nonsense called the "rule of the gavel".

Pause for a moment please, to consider what the "rules
committee" means to the integrity of the organization.

The Rules Committee of the New Mexico Republican Party
will decide if honest accountability for one's conduct is a family value (worth defending).

I would argue that it is. I would point out that, that is why the very first illustrative story we tell our children is about George Washington and the cherry tree. The success of the human race is carried upon the shoulders of those willing to be held accountable to a higher standard of conduct than the law; the absolutely lowest standard of acceptable conduct.

The integrity of the NMRP and their commitment to family values, rides on the decision of the rules committee.

Worthy of notice;

the involvement of the NMRP Rules Committee is likely to be
the only illumination of the tip of a very large iceberg; the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the Albuquerque Public Schools.

The leadership of the APS has two priorities;

1. hiding the APS Modrall relationship from public scrutiny, and
2. hiding the good ol' boy organizational structure of the APS from public scrutiny.

in no particular order.

The incestuous appointment of Jon Barela, veteran of Modrall and currently serving APS good ol' boy, to the board of education is an outrage against the public interest. The good ol' boys have returned to the roots of their success; appointing their cronies to the board. link

Hiding the iceberg, the Albuquerque Journal which steadfastly refuses to report on any aspect of the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS. It is aided and abetted in the cover up, by the movers and shakers at KOB, KOAT, KRQE, and KKOB.

I swear.
