Loyalty Matters
Sacramento, California, Sep 3 -
Tim Leslie , Former State Senator and Assemblyman
As Benjamin Franklin said so well, so long ago, "a friend in need is a friend indeed". Our friend John Doolittle is under attack from the liberal left and now from those to whom he has shown true friendship.
In a startling and disappointing display of opportunism and self promotion, Ted Gaines has broken the faith not only with a true friend -- John Doolittle -- but with the cause for which John has born the standard for so many years. Of course, those of us who have fought in the arena beside John Doolittle know not only his actions, but over time, his character.
John has never wavered in defense of the unborn. He has never faltered in defense of the second amendment. He has never shirked the battle for freedom.
And yet, those who see an opportunity to advance themselves stand ready and willing to join the Sacramento Bee and their left wing minions in viciously attacking John Doolittle. Shame on these small men. I am calling on you to join me in rejecting the designs of the misguided few. Their faithless assault will only result in harming the conservative cause and the America we love.
America needs John Doolittle. He is our friend. Please join me in supporting him.
“John has never wavered in defense of the unborn. He has never faltered in defense of the second amendment. He has never shirked the battle for freedom.”
I have no problem with that, but he’s not the only Republican in the distrcit who has done this. I realize that he did some good back in the 1990’s. But the unfortunate fact is that John Doolittle is no longer the same man who came to Congress to do right by the country. Every action he has taken indicates this. He can still earn a good living in the private sector, and make the big money he so obviously covets. The United States won’t cease to exist without him in Congress.
The reason so many Freepers want him to retire is because we want the district to have conservative, pro-life, pro-second amendment representation. And that won’t happen if Doolittle is the nominee. He is not going to be reelected, regardless of what he does. So why not take one for the team? He’ll still have a life after leaving Congress.
