Sibby Online: Mitchell paper quotes Olson as saying MAINstream Coalition won't survive
Steve over at Sibby on-line has a story this morning from the Mitchell Republic noting how fellow founder, and Republican State Senator Ed Olson doubts that the MAINstream coalition organization will survive:
Maybe South Dakotans are actually more conservative then they thought....
Read it all here.State Sen. Ed Olson R-Mitchell, said a recent membership drive produced fewer than the desired number.
"It’s probably not going to make it," Olson said.
Olson said that Rapid City Businessman Stan Adelstein, another founder who originally underwrote the organization financially, "mailed out 40,000 mailers and got 75 new members." It likely isn’t enough, Olson said, for the organization to remain in operation.
Maybe South Dakotans are actually more conservative then they thought....

We need to get back to basics -- the Bible.
I hope we see an even harder push to ban abortion, sex education and gay marriage.
People asking us to focus on "real" issues like education or health care are just missing the point!
As long as people see someone is out there sending glossy fliers and holding press conferences about the Mainstream and winning Senate Leadership slots, then "moderation" has still not died. And the average Joe doesn't need to spend $50 bucks to support it.
This mainstream thing was bound to end someday, though this is sooner than I expected.
It's all about basics, and that means the Bible. The Creator allows us to make laws, but if we don't focus on banning abortion and gay marriage, He will make sure we live in eternal hell.
It's good to see these mainstreamers are willing to listen to God again.
The Mainstream Coalition is far from dead. It's just getting started and the NeoChrisCons are out. End of story. Go see for yourselves.
The evidence that moderates are alive and well in South Dakota was presented loud and clear last November on election day.
Case closed.
Courageous, yes. Sneaky, no.
It was all out in the open.
There is a clear division in the party.
The moderate side is sending the extremist side a message.
Extraordinary problems require extraordinay solutions.
Great idea!
Maybe the Founding Father's recognized these differences and recognized that for the betterment of all mankind it would be better for Government to stay away from theological differences. A government is supposed to provide for it's citizen's regardless of religious belief.
READ the Bible. As soon as the Republican Party, including mainstreamers, get back to reading the Bible and following God's law, this state will be saved.
God law reign will reign supreme one day soon in South Dakota!
AND THAT'S THE TRUTH!
Your a prefect example of why the average South Dakotan thinks the conservation right has gone nuts.
Too bad the MSM media loves them so much because their list of potential donors sure don't. Why does the MSM insist upon giving them a platform when they don't have a following....except for the democrat blogs.
Oh, and about Knudson and Heidepriem...they are bot LIBERALS. Can you say "FLAMING LIBERALS"? They're both pro-abortion, both pro-queer marriage, and both want to tax you more so they can grow government and try to win favor with everybody before they run seek higher office in the near future. Nothing moderate about either of them. Liberal lawyers....both of them.
Please read the new testament.
