No! We (the Republican party) do NOT need Battin or any of his cohorts. We've had enough of Battin.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell you that Battin along with his cohorts have destroyed certain sections in the Corporations Code, the Business and Professions Code, and Civil Code sections to name but a few.  He has done so with utter disdain for the wishes of his constituents.  Even while his loyal and supportive constituents begged him not to support the bad bills, he couldn't care less, he supported them anyway, and did so, even while those bills hurt his constituents.  In fact, Battin, confused, probably thought his constituents were his Democrat aiders and abettors.  His arrogance was simply unsurpassed and nothing's changed with him. Leopards don't change their spots.  Go look at his voting record and see where his misplaced obligations lie.  The guy is a nightmare.  Surely the Republicans can find a true-blue Republican that can stand up to the pressure of the Democrats; someone who won't be strongarmed; someone who can't be corrupted; someone who will not partake in the doorstops and 11th hour dealings with the enemy; someone who won't partake in the "bargaining away" of those who helped get him elected!  Battin is a game player and fails to shoot from the hip.  He thinks he's clever, but in actuality he';s only clever when it comes to saving his own skin.  He is surrounded by a bunch of flunky "legal analysts" who are nothing more that trained phone-spotters.  Once they get your name, and you are not important enough, they give you the perverbial runaround and the "call back" scheme.  The rest of his staff are trained in transfering calls to unlimited "voicemail" where no one calls back until the 5 o'clock hour on a Friday evening and preface their conversations with the caveat that Mr. Battin himself believes, or says, or relays; meaning, no one in that office is accountable for ANYTHING.  We don't need anymore of this type of politician!! Unless you are a high powered donor to his campaigns, don't bother trying to get anything accomplished.
