I got a solicitation from the Republican National Committee.
I quote:
“Dear Friend,
Please don’t tell me you have given up...that you have abandoned the Republican Party....
But as Treasurer of the Republican National Committee, I’m concerned that we have not received your 2009 RNC membership renewal.
....But we have not heard from you since October 24, 2008 — and I hpoe you haven’t deserted our Party.
...The only thing standing in the way of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid Democrats’ fulfilling their reckless spending, record deficits and higher taxes agenda are you and the RNC.
....urgently need you to renew....with a contribution...”
the above paragraph should have read:
“The only thing standing in the way of the BUSH43/Obama/Pelosi/Reid Democrats’and Republicans’ fulfilling their reckless spending, record deficits and higher taxes agenda are you and the (we need a new) Party.”
I just don’t know where to begin. Bush 43 got some things right. But fiscal responsibility and limited government were not part of his program. Nor the Republican Party.
Now the assault on Sarah Palin from the Republican Party is the end for me. I cannot forgive this.
Republicans are moving toward DEATH and TAXES and GOVERNMENT. We must understand that.
Libertarians seemed too kookie but maybe that’s all we have.
Is there any other way?
Libertarian Party Platform 2004:
Immigration
The Issue: We welcome all refugees to our country and condemn the efforts of U.S. officials to create a new "Berlin Wall" which would keep them captive. We condemn the U.S. government's policy of barring those refugees from our country and preventing Americans from assisting their passage to help them escape tyranny or improve their economic prospects.
Transitional Action: We call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol, and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally.
