House Republican Leadership Aligns With ACORN: Support pro-gay marriage, pro-abortion, pro-big government ACORN endorsed candidate I just resigned as the Secretary of the Republican Women of Shenandoah County. Why? Because the party stands for nothing except party politics. I complained about the club voting money for a Republican candidate on the Board of Supervisors because she votes like a liberal Democrat. She never met a spending item she couldn't support. After being chided at an executive board meeting, I planned not to run again when my term expired. But then came the letter from the County Chairman about another member of the club who was serving as treasurer for a non-Republican candidate running against another big-spending RINO. The chairman insisted that she be thrown out of the club. This was shortly after Michael Steele, Republican Party Chairman, publicly stated that pro-abortion candidates are welcome under the big tent (as in circus tent?). So this is the reality in the Republican side show: there's no problem with a candidate who opposes the principles in the party platform and supports child-killing; he's embraced with open arms. But if you dare to support a non-Republican candidate who supports Republican principles, you're thrown into the outer darkness. It's a head-shaker.
The Democrats espouse the most evil principles imaginable and they pursue them with single-minded zeal. The Republicans pay lip service to moral principles and throw them out whenever it's expedient.
Don't get me wrong, there are many good Republicans and I will be working for and supporting some in the upcoming elections. But unless the good guys can take back the party, it's going the way of the whigs. Jesus said, "Be hot or cold or I'll vomit you out of my mouth." The Republicans are a tepid cup of bad coffee and I'm not drinking it any more.
Mary, I sympathize totally. As a pro-life candidate running against a pro-abort RINO for State Rep in Illinois in the upcoming primary, it was a struggle just to get the party to be "officially" neutral.
ReplyDeleteBut if conservatives leave party organizations, who'll take their place? More RINOs. More people who don't care what the party stands for, as long as it elects people with an "R" after their names.
Or worse, conservatives will be replaced by people who do care what the party stands for, and want to make it into a second party of abortion, gay marriage, big government and corruption.
One of the themes of my campaign has been that it's time and past time for conservatives to take back the Republican Party. I hope you'll take up that theme yourself.
good for you for standing up for your principles! not a lot of people in your shoes would have the courage to do so! you go girl!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. Someone once said that voting for either party was like changing the safety pins on a dirty diaper.
