The Republican Party continues to surrender principle for compromise, a strategy that continues to be a losing one. It is no wonder that 73% of Republican voters say te leadership does not represent them. That leadership needs to be replaced with solid conservatives who understand that becoming the Democrats Lite will never be a winning strategy against the real thing. And only works to roll our country that much fasther toward the fiscal cliff.
As long as the GOP gives active support to liberals in the Party, and their members continue to vote for just slightly smaller paths to national bankruptcy, and support corrupt practices such as massive earmark usage, they will not see a single dime from me. And the days of pulling single-party levers are long over. This from someone who was once a GOP County Chairman.
I am an independent conservative and proud that my principles matter. Consisider me a Rogue; I have better company there. The NRC keep sending this mail to me and I’ll start adding a pound or so of iron plate to the envelope, so they can pay return postage on that as well.
The first is based on my Africa experience (and I SO need to get back; next year, when my girl graduates from college):
The second is related to that: unkept political promises are one thing; personal ones are more serious:
The guy just won an undeserved Nobel Peace Prize; the least he could do is use a little of it to honor the personal commitment he made while in Africa. If he were to do so, I’d send a letter of appreciation to the man (even while disagreeing with the politician’s policies).
Also participated in a soap box session; did so-so (though the crowd thought well enough of me that I finished 2nd out of 4):
This picture at the protest and counter-protest at Sen. Cornyn’s Dallas office Oct. 14th speaks volumes.
One sign hand-assembled from a printer’s output, the other professionally printed at significant expense with the proud MoveOn.org logo in the bottom right corner… and MISSPELLED! It’s “Whose Side are you on?”, Dolt!
After an English teacher in the Tea Party group (far larger; 80-28) pointed it out for them, another pro-Private Care supporter said’ “An example of government-run education.” When the English teacher was asked if she was offended by that statement, she said “Goodness, no! I teach in private schools!”
Maybe the ‘Obamanation’ sign was referring to the English mutilation by Obama supporters.
Oh, there are plenty of the signs made with marker and posterboard that the Tea Parties wave with misspellings and bad grammar; and you’ll find both offenses on this blog. But all that does is diminish the individuals involved; that printshop sign reflects directly on a multi-million dollar operation. And that is amusing.
They also tried some street theater of wit, but only got halfway there. The MoveOn minions put on a street play with four dressed up as filthy rich Insurers protesting against Government Health Care. Problem is, when they mingling in with all the VERY middle class jeans and working slacks or REAL opponents of Government Health Care, it was only laughable. One of the Tea Partiers recognized the blond as someone who was arrested for deliberately spitting on a 9-12 rally participant in Ft. Worth.
The Patriot on the left has history of serving his country honorably; the Bad Actor on the right spits on such if she disagrees with them. Any questions?
If your going to imitate your opposition, learn to do it right, like Chuck does here (another vet of honorable service):
When the National Republican Committee keeps spending money on liberals in GOP clothing like Scozzafava (and incompetent ones at that) , they need to be delivered a message. Here was mine (Hoffman being the actual Conservative non-politician running against Scozzafave in NY-23).
