Since the word “racist” will not work, they have trotted out a new word “xenophobic”. It will not work with me. I neither fear nor hate illegal aliens. I would have no problem if they would go home.
“That won’t work. They take a pledge to the Constitution when they are sworn in but still ignore to uphold the Constitution.”
The point here is to get their signed pledge PRIOR to campaigning for office under the label of “R”. Raising the bar, or raising theirs and the voters level of conciousness PRIOR to campaigning about what he/she are entering into with the contituency should provide a basis for any Politician of integrity to consider. IOW we aren’t going to allow business as usual. We would be demanding the game played our way, and integrity restored to the American Political scene (such as it is).
If we cannot get those applying to campaign for the position of Congressionnal Representative to respect our will, we will never achieve quality candidates.
Certainly there will be those whom check the appropriate boxes and continue with intent to do as they damned well please, but under these circumstances we can pillory them with their own signed pledges prior to election should that become opportune, but should also enhance aggressive actions against them after they’re sworn in and should they break their pledge in business as usual style.
It would be an added deterrent to the current standards of Constituency abuse.
“Unfortunately Conservatives have become the minority RINOs..”
I think it’s more like too many people are panicking, and won’t fight for the true conservative.
It’s early enough to FIGHT. Remember Howard Dean, who was way on top in December ‘03.
