Any notion that James Rogan was a bipartisan moderate interested in
political consensus was completely shattered by his behavior, and that of
his staff, during this past campaign and election. His campaign was the
meanest, most biased one I have ever seen, seeming almost juvenile in its
bitterness.
His so-called acceptance speech on election night (given when he
erroneously assumed he had won) was devoid of the slightest amount of
graciousness. And when, finally, Adam Schiff delivered the "real"
acceptance speech, he was blasted by Rogan's campaign manager for being
"more concerned with winning" than in listening to the will of the
people. Is this what you would call arrogance, or ignorance?
Rogan did his own followers a disservice in making such an issue of
his blatant partisan actions against the president two years ago. That
was probably the least significant factor against him in this race, yet
he made it his battle cry.
He would be better off, I think, working as spokesman for Pat Buchanan
or Rush Limbaugh. The man's very attitude makes him an unsuitable
representative for our district.
