Wow, this REALLY sounds like liberal infiltration.
Time to TAKE BACK the GOP, conservatives.
I cannot belief the process is so poorly organized that the voters can’t do anything about this. This man is a traitor, a slime, NOT a conservative. THROW. HIM. OUT!
According to this story:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/09/21/f-us-votes-battleground-ohio.html
Borges was the Executive Director last September...How did the pro-sodomite leader do in delivering Ohio for the Republicans? Oh, wait, HE FAILED.
ATT. OHIO TEA PARTY!
Infiltrator.
Time to clean house. Ohio voters amended the state constitution to protect marriage between one man and one woman. Kasich needs to join the ranks of Ohio's unemployed. And by the looks of it, so do most of his cronies.
A very poor choice of words given the topic.
It saddens me to see what the Repubs are doing to Conservatism. I don’t think we (conservatives) should leave the Repub Party, I think the fake conservatives should be forced out. That will take quite a bit of doing, but it must be done, for the sake of our children and country.
Way to go Ohio!
CONSERVATIVE LEADERS REJECT CURRENT DIRECTION OF STATE REPUBLICAN PARTY
Columbus, Ohio – A statewide coalition of social and fiscal conservative leaders in Ohio today announced a rejection of the current direction of the state Republican leadership.
While signers of this statement put emphases on different policies, all the signers believe that Ohio is best served with limited government and low taxation, affirm the definition of marriage as one man and one woman as specified in Ohio’s Constitution, stand for the right to life for unborn children, and believe that the State Republican Party Chairman should reflect and fight for these values.
In recent months, Ohio has seen Governor John Kasich propose a “tax shift” unfairly targeting certain landowners and creating a drag on energy exploration, recommend the expansion of a failing Medicaid program, and propose an increasing budget.
Senator Rob Portman has reversed course, defying one of the key planks of the Republican Party Platform to take a position in support of same-sex marriage. This dismisses the views of roughly 3.3 million Ohioans who in 2004 voted for a Constitutional Amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman.
Finally, this week, the elected statewide Republican officials declared their support for Matt Borges to replace Bob Bennett as Ohio Republican Party Chairman. Dismissing other potential candidates for the chairman’s position, these statewide Republican officials endorsed Borges, a man who plead guilty to a misdemeanor for improper use of public office in a bribery investigation and served as a lobbyist for the liberal homosexual activist group, Equality Ohio.
This statement of rejection is not personal – the individuals above have reasons and explanations for their actions. Nor is this statement designed to elicit a specific response. This statement is merely to inform the public that we have not moved on these issues important to our fellow Buckeyes and we will not accept this leadership which is inconsistent with the principles of the Republican Party.
Tom Zawistowski, President of the We the People Convention and Executive Director of the Portage County TEA Party, said, “The leaders of the Republican Party in Ohio have chosen to separate themselves and the party from the wishes and values of their support base. Not just liberty group members and social conservative voters, but rank and file registered Republican voters who overwhelmingly voted for the Ohio Healthcare Amendment. With this letter we put the party bosses on notice that we reject their betrayal of the party platform and our conservative values. We will not support them going forward but will instead support those who are true to our cause.”
“With sadness I put my name on this statement,” said Seth Morgan, former State Representative and Conservative Coalition Leader. “Never have I been more concerned for the direction of our state and country – largely due to a failure in leadership. Why would our Republican leaders put themselves at odds with sound public policy and the platform of their own party?”
“Some of our Republican officials seem hell-bent on alienating conservative voters and volunteers, which reduces voter turnout. They ignore the GOP platform, choosing to put themselves outside the mainstream of our party base,” said Lori Viars, Vice President of Warren County Right To Life, who also serves as Vice Chair of the Warren County Republican Party.
The signers below call on like-minded conservative Ohioans to organize and prepare for the challenges we and our neighbors are facing.

This issue SHOULD NOT be that hard for conservatives to figure out...
As a party, they aren't definable or useful once in office, other than being something to blame for the demonrat disasters.
If they haven’t left the GOP by now..... um, maybe they are not conservative in the first place.
It’s not just Ohio...this GOP liberalism is happening everywhere. In Florida, we’re just lynching innocent people based on Black Racist agitation

There are only two choices. Have a mutiny and have real constitutionalist conservatives with sound moral principles on social and fiscal issues take over the party, or start a third party. Anyone else have good ideas, let me know. The R party is making itself a enemy of the Constitution just as much as the D party is. They don't even want to win any more.
