Blind Obedience to the Party

Here's the situtation:

You are a registered voter. You are a precinct committeeperson, an elected position. You don't like your party's choice for a particular office so you openly support another party. You show support all the way to the voting place where you are accousted by the county chair of your party. You and he have a dicussion as to what you are doing there? You let him know in no uncertain terms it is you right. You then go on to defend ,quite well I might add, your reason for not walking lock step with said party since he is looking for one. Not able to counter your reasoning he asked for your resignation from the position to which you were elected or he says he will fire you. Strange, fire you from such a lowly position that nobody wants anyway. Besides it isn't even a paid position to begin with. 

My party loyalty or blind odedience to anyone or any party comes somewhere down the line behind taking trash out for Tuesday morning pick up. What say you?

If I was a party official and couldn't support my party's candidate, I think I would have pro actively resigned the position until the situation changed.  If not, I certainly wouldn't openly support another, though I would discreetly.  That said, I think the party is making a mistake when they choose to side with a poor candidate over party volunteers.  You might also ask if the candidate is supported by a majority of the party locally.  Are you or the candidate most out of touch with the rest of the party on this election?

hmm.. sounds like Bartoshevich from Waterford Wisconsin.  I applaud her.  I wish she had kept her mouth shut until AFTER the voting however
