Whether or not the Republican “good old boys network” will ever learn remains to be seen.
Don’t misunderstand me, most average Republicans are conservatives believing that life is sacred, marriage is between a man and a woman, taxes should be lowered, government should be reduced in size, spending should be radically reduced, a strong military should be maintained, our borders should be protected and politicians should put America first! No American political figure should put the Uniited Nations first, not European or other nations first: America should come first.
However, the old Rockefeller Republicans and other moderates are still playing poltics as usual. That is why tragically and wrongly Newt Gingrich can endorse a Republican as liberal as Dede Scozzafava.
We Republicans must awaken to put the well-being of the nation first and return to our legitimate values.
When David Duke, a racist from Louisiana, was a Republican the party refused to support him because of racism. that was the right thing to do……….now the party should refuse to support liberals who call themselves Republicans, like Dede Scozzafava.
Thankfully Republicans like House Minority Leader John Boehner and Minority Whip Eric Cantor have endorsed Hoffman, the only conservative in the race. Courageously Sarah Palin, and Tim Pawlenty and former Senator Fred Thompson had already endorsed the Conservative Party candidate, Doug Hoffman before the liberal Scozzafava dropped out.
Michael Steele spoke of Scozzafava after she dropped out as as a person he “respects” for dropping out. The truth is, however, she was losing badly against both the Democrat Owens and Doug Hoffman. When you are being clobbered, I am not sure it is heroic to bail out, but it certainly is appropriate.
We can only hope Republican leaders on the national level will start supporting CONSERVATIVE Republicans only! It is fine for moderates to vote with the party on whatever issues they choose, but the purpose of the Republican party should be front and center with the announcement of every candidates!
