My comment was not about *Steve’s* individual failings; rather, the collective operational and management failings of TLP’s original founders
My overall point, and the actual target of my criticism, was that Galen is STILL employed by TLP. Not only that, Galen has gained significantly broader authority and executive decisional power within the organization. That happened after Steve’s departure.
RICK chose to remain at TLP, despite the sharp nosedive of TLP’s credibility, caused, in part, and within the wider executive collective, by RICK’S own failures to properly develop checks and balances within the organization and among the staff.
The fact that Rick chose to stay with TLP, AND that he allowed Galen to not only stay, but that he also expanded Galen’s role in the group, after Galen wreaked absolute chaos, havoc, and destruction upon TLP, speaks volumes about Rick’s own credibility and integrity, or lack thereof.
At the very least, Galen should have been kicked to the curb immediately upon discovery of his rogue shenanigans; ideally, he should have been sued civilly or criminally prosecuted for he’s egregious breaches and misconduct, which cost the organization immensely. However, rather than hold Galen accountable for his chicanery, Rick chose to reward him!
How can anyone ever again look at TLP as a reliable, principled, honorable P.A.C.? How? Once Rick elected to completely disregard Galen’s mutiny, how in the hell could he have ever believed that TLP could ever recover itself to be anything resembling the organization that it was initially created to be?
TLP’s ideals included exposing corruption and holding those responsible to account, restoring dignity and respect to the Republican Party, demanding that elected officials look out for the nation’s interests again and not their own, to improve government transparency, to give power back to the people, to reflect America’s constitution and founding values.
How can TLP expect to ever live up to its original mission and goals when TLP can’t even achieve similar goals for its own organization?!
It takes a lifetime to build credibility, but only a moment to destroy it.
I blame all founders for how the mess started. I blame Rick for tacitly condoning it. I greatly respect Steve for parting ways with TLP. He realized that his vision for TLP had been irreparably destroyed. Steve’s acknowledgment of his contributory failings and his resignation from TLP exemplify his strong character. The dedication and value he has for his own integrity are admirable.
Unfortunately, Steve’s disclosures have also served to shine a glaring light on Rick’s extremely weak, and lacking character.
