No Kevin v. Katon

Well, this was disappointing news. (A colleague brought it to my attention after it appeared on The Shot.)

Nothing against ol’ Katon — he’s a nice fella and all — but he takes this "party" stuff WAY too seriously.
I was sort of hoping my old friend Kevin — he’s a lawyer with Nelson Mullins — would have a somewhat better sense of perspective.
Ah, well…

Dear Fellow Republican:
    Late last year, I wrote many of you to tell you of my intentions to run
for Chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party.  Like you, I am
committed to working hard to ensure that the conservative values we
share are represented in every level of politics throughout South
Carolina.  I am proud of South Carolina’s red-state heritage, and I
want to do everything in my power to continue electing strong,
conservative Republicans.  The big victories we all shared here in
November showed just how important it is to have solid leadership,
great candidates and a common-sense message.

    Since the first of the year, it has come to my
attention that Chairman Katon Dawson is considering again running for
chairman of our state party.  On Election Night, Governor Mark Sanford
said that we have the best State Party Chairman in the nation—and I
agree.  And since Katon is willing to serve our party and our state for
another two years, I want you to know that I was the first in line to
sign on to his re-election campaign. With Katon’s leadership and all of
our hard work, we will maintain our first-in-the-South presidential
preference primary and expand upon our majorities in the General
Assembly.

    I appreciate all of the hard work you do to make
your County Party and our local and statewide candidates successful
each election season, and I look forward to working side-by-side with
you in the years to come.  I know that together we will continue to
advance our Party and our candidates, and most importantly, our
conservative beliefs.

Sincerely,
Kevin A. Hall

    No mention of advancing the safety, health and welfare of the people of South Carolina. I guess those things just aren’t important to conservatives.

    Just a hunch, but I’m guessing that what Mr. Hall alluded to as “our conservative beliefs” includes advancing safety, health and welfare of the people of South Carolina.
    ‘Conservatives and liberals’ just think it should be done in different ways.
