RUSS DIAMOND FOR SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
While my heroes Gene Stilp--never forget that he's the greatest--and Tim Potts are giving whatever degreee of consideration they think is warranted to my earnest plea for them to run for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Russ Diamond appears already off and running to be Speaker of the House. In past years, John Perzel and Bill DeWeese have each filed roughly 150 candidates for the 203 House seats, and this year Diamond may come up with a similar number.
This is the first blog to say it outright, but I think it is clear that Diamond already is a candidate for Speaker of the House. Further, I applaud this development. Whatever microscopic liberal remnants of the past of Stilp and Potts remain will be squelched by Speaker Diamond. And, if we are stuck with Fast Eddie again despite our best efforts, Speaker Diamond will be the man who sends him back to Philadelphia earlier than the expiration of his term.
Remember the famous speech of the Rev. Russell Conwell, the founder of Temple University, when he talked of "Acres of Diamonds?" The point was that no matter how far you went around the world, the really valuable things were in your own backyard. That is the theme that Operation Clean Sweep has been assiduously pursuing with great success so far.
No one in modern times has been a candidate for Speaker of the House in first term. But no one in modern times has organized a bipartisan insurgent slate in many districts either. Russ Diamond is off and running to succeed John Perzel in 2007, and it is way past time to give him credit for that fact.
It is not about reforming government. It's about abolishing government wherever possible. It's about freeing people from taxation, whether it's a mother on welfare or a corporate CEO. It's about getting government out of the way of people making as much money as possible, whether it's a janitor or an owner of many corporations. We just have to get government out of the way of those of us with private power. Plutocracy united will never be defeated!
