True North

Many months ago, I was enjoying an evening with some friends of mine, in the riverside home of one of their parents. And as it commonly does with this group the topic eventually came to politics. At this time the Republican nomination was definitely up for grabs…in fact I don’t even think Fred Thompson was in the race yet.

My friend’s father expressed that he rather hoped Newt would jump into the race because he was the only one that represented conservative ideals. I hated to pop his bubble, but knowing he global warming swindle annoyed him, I had to say something. I pointed out that even Newt had drank the Gore-Aid. He couldn’t believe it and you could see the disappointment in his face even before he expressed it.

Today I think conservatives everywhere are making the same face at the news that President Bush is going to surrender to the global warming conman, lead by the Prophet Goracle. Despite all credible evidence to the contrary, apparently Bush is planning on following Gore, by leading this country straight into a rotting pile of tofu.

Is it any wonder that Republicans at all levels, are having problems raising money?? Is it any wonder that Republican ranks have failed to swell in the face of liberal stupidity? Is it any wonder that conservatives have failed to embrace the Republican Party in general so far this election??

Perhaps is because every time they do, they are betrayed by it’s leaders again and again??

We trusted that the Republican Party would be fiscally responsible. Instead we got rampant spending and a worsening culture of earmarks.

We trusted the Republican Party to keep our country secure. Instead they refuse to secure our own borders and in fact lead the effort to reward lawlessness.

We trust the Republican Party to act ethically. Instead we get the stupid scandals out of many Republicans as we get out of the Democrats.

We trust the Republican Party to push the principals of personal responsibility. Instead we get massive taxpayer-funded bailouts every time the smallest thing goes wrong.

We trusted the Republican Party to at least behave in a competent manner. Instead we have a party acting as if one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing.

Now all we ask is that the Republican Party not intentionally destroy our economy by buying into faulty propaganda, disguised as “science” and pursue policies that are guaranteed not to work even if the science was accurate. Instead we get the Goracle in Republican clothing.

If the Republican Party wants to know why it has issues, it need look no further than the mirrors in the head offices.
