Another Convention Winner: Dave Roderer



In rereading our earlier commentary about the Convention winners we had the notion that something was missing. Apparently we deleted the paragraph about Dave Roderer by accident.

As most of our readers know, David Roderer is the Iowa Chair for the McCain campaign. There were vast and overstated rumors about conflict between the McCain campaign, Steve S. and the rest of the Party reform movement.

As we kept saying here at TRS, there was no scheme to salt the delegation with anti-McCain renegades, just like there was no plan to deprive Chairman Iverson of the privilege of chairing the State Conventions. Those were mere pre-convention rumors. As we know, pre-convention rumors are a bi-annual but reliably consistent plague, much like a bad case of hemorrhoids.

Well, Dave Roderer displayed great diplomatic skills in shoveling through the mountain of bovine by-product, getting to the heart of the matter and producing far more affection for his candidate and campaign than had theretofore existed in Iowa.

Such a result is the definition of success for a candidate’s state chair does it not?

If you don't know Dave you need to! Mr. Roederer is a WINNER and a great diplomat. Nice post he deserves it. Roederer epitomizes what is great about Iowa politics!

Yeah, too bad he didn't win the project destiny vote he was paid to win. All hail Dave Roederer.

Lets see. Ted has no promoted a pro choice lady in Carly Fiorina to be McCain's VP, and now is giving Dave "Project Destiny" Roederer some love.

I'm confused

Dave Roderer is one of the finest gentleman politicians that Iowa has to offer. We're lucky to have him!

Our raison d'ĂȘtre here at TRS

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill

We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.

In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.

Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.
