"Republicans Pretend to be Conservative Every Day"
May 16, 2008
Just recently, the ALGOP posted a blog piece (ironically the day after the GOP lost a Congressional seat in Mississippi) entitled "Democrats are not Conservative, Period". Funny though that conservative columnist, and former speechwriter for Pres. Reagan, Peggy Noonan wrote the following today:
"This was a real wakeup call for us," someone named Robert M. Duncan, who is chairman of the Republican National Committee, told the New York Times. This was after Mississippi. "We can't let the Democrats take our issues." And those issues would be? "We can't let them pretend to be conservatives," he continued. Why not? Republicans pretend to be conservative every day.
Ouch. Once consistent Republican voters are now leaving their party in droves. It's obvious why.....the GOP hasn't performed. They get out there and campaign on hot-button and divisive issues, yet when it comes to getting it done in Washington, they've accomplished nothing with regards to the real crises facing this country.
With a Democratic Congress and President coming, a strong conservative Democrat representing Alabama may very well be in the best interests of the voters in that particular district. Ask yourself the question: Do I want a minority GOP member of Congress who has nothing in the way of influence and leadership (hello AL districts 2, 3, 4 and 5), or do I want a conservative Democrat who will be in the majority in 2009 and who will be able to better take care of his/her district? It's a real no-brainer.
