''Quite obviously, our Republican party has joined with the enemy. Weak kneed, spineless men like former Tennessee Senator Dr. Bill Frist, Senators from Maine, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins, Minority leader Boehner and Newt Gingrich who is backing Dede Scozzafava, and countless others too numerous to name, who do not represent conservative Republicans or ideals, do not deserve to have our cash to continue their happy allegiance with the Marxist ideologues of the left.''
I remember a close friend telling me that the Soviet Union and America would meld into one combining both communism and capitalism. I’ve thought of that statement many times over the years.
Countless phone calls from the Republican National Committee, the College Republican National Committee, and every other form of Republican National group out there has phoned me for a donation. If that isn’t enough, the RNC and various other Republican groups continue to send me snail mail which includes two and three page questionnaires and surveys, and at the end of same, an area to mark for the amount of your donation. With the disgust I’ve felt for so long regarding the Republican choices for office, I mostly pitched these costly forms in the trash. However, after the 2008 election, I decided to change my strategy.
Every questionnaire seems to ask the questions with answers they KNOW we want them to follow…a case in point is, “Do you believe the stimulus is working for America?” Or this, “Do you approve of the healthcare reform by President Obama?” You know the type of questions, as I’m sure many of you have received these forms and these phone calls soliciting for funds as well.
I fill out the questionnaires, then I add my own short letter stating that I am much more inclined to do my own research on where my money will go and to whom I will support for office than they have been in the past or even now. The same goes for the phone solicitations…I tell them I no longer trust their decisions and will never be funding them again and then I tell them why.
Do conservatives want the likes of John McCain nominated for the highest office in the land? I highly doubt McCain would have garnered even half the votes he got had it not been for his vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, who he quite obviously threw under the bus. Sarah’s biggest mistake was accepting that nomination, but that’s another story.
A case in point is the choice of the Republican party of Michael Steele as the head of the RNC, which was quite disturbing for many reasons. One has to wonder if Steele was chosen for the color of his skin rather than the content of his character and especially his failure to uphold the former Republican platform of pro-life, pro-family, small government, etc. In a March, 2009 interview with GQ Magazine, he was asked to elaborate on his beliefs. Here is what he said when asked about pro-life,
"The choice issue cuts two ways. You can choose life, or you can choose abortion. You know, my mother chose life. So, you know, I think the power of the argument of choice boils down to stating a case for one or the other."
