Keep your eyes open for the National Right to Life endorsement, which will be coming shortly. And then we all have to stick together on their choice. That will prevent the pro-life vote from being split several ways.
Don’t give up. Keep fighting and keep getting the word out to defeat the Rudy RINOs.
They may think we are going to give up, but I won’t until the fat lady sings.
“Due to divided interest and attention of the Republican base I fear we are about 100 days away from having Rudy Giuliani as our nominee. It is going to be the darkest of times for Conservatives because of the lack of cohesion early in this primary process.”
I just opened an e-mail I received pertaining to this. Since I did not ask permission to post, the author will remain anonymous. It expresses my sentiments exactly:
“It is my opinion that the GOP consists of two main groups:
Partisan Republicans
Conservatives
Partisan Republicans: The only criteria for the PR’s is that the “R” candidate be percieved as having the capability to defeat the “D” candidate. This perception is driven by the media and polls.
PR’s will endorse, fund and vote for any candidate that has an “R” after their name for the purpose of defeating the candidate that has a “D” after their name.
Whether the “R” candidate has been a consistent conservative, like Duncan Hunter, or a liberal, like Giuliani and Romney or has sponsored unconstituional legislation, like McCain and Thompson, is irrelevant.
The only thing that matters is th at the “R” is perceived as being capable of defeating the “D” in the general election. Again, that perception is based on media marketing and poll results.
Giuliani’s liberal policies, sanctuary status for illegals and blatant disregard for the second amendment on gun control as Mayor of New York are irrelevant if he is perceived as being capable of defeating the “D”.
Thompson’s disregard for the first amendment as a sponsor of McCain-Feingold and support of Spencer Abraham’s immigration policies (see NumbersUSA) are irrelevant if he is perceived as being capable of defeating the “D”.
Romney’s liberal policies and disregard for the second amendment on gun control as Governor of Massachusetts are irrelevant is he is capable of defeating the “D”.
McCain’s disregard for the first amendment as a sponsor of McCain-Feingold and attempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens asa a sponsor of McCain-Kennedy are irrelevant if he is perceived as being capable of defeating the “D”.
Conservatives have two criteria. The candidate must have a record of adherence to the US constitution and must represent consistent conservativism. Conservatives will fund, endorse and vote for the most conservative candidate for the purpose of defeating the liberalism of the Democrat.
The adherence to the constitution and consistent conservativism of the “R” candidate is critical to principled conservatives. It’s not about Republicans defeating Democrats - this is about conservativism defeating liberalism.
The only conservative I trust to adhere to the constitution while defeating liberalism is Duncan Hunter. Giuliani, Thompson, Romney and McCain have sponsored unconstitutional legislation and have failed to demonstrate consistent conservativism on critical issues.”
It would help to all band together behind one person, even if that is not the person we would have chosen individually. And National Right to Life will carry a bunch of people with it, whomever they choose.
It will be a pro-lifer. It won't be McCain. I think they are leaning toward Thompson.
