We have a link to the platform of the GOP, which is a good platform. The problem is the candidates and leadership that depart from their own platform...not the ones who support those principles.

It's a contradiction to claim the party has a platform that isn't being followed. Any platform reflects the actions of those seeking office. If the platform is good then please explain how the RNC has made a six figure transfer of funds to the National Republican Campaign Committee so they can contribute to Dede Scozzafava's campaign in the NY-23 race knowing she supports abortion, voted for massive tax hikes, Democrat budgets and a $180 million state bank bailout. She also supported the trillion-dollar federal stimulus package. She has also embraced the socialist leaning working families Party, is close friends with ACORN Vice Chairperson Bertha Lewis. Scozzafava also supports the federal "card-check" legislation that would massively boost union rolls -- and Democratic voting rolls -- at the expense of rank-and-file workers' free choice.

I fail to understand how you rationalize linking to an organization who endorses candidates with such strong socialist beliefs. How do you rectify this stark contradiction in your mind Jeff? I am very disappointed they are being supported by your site and FreeRepublic knowing these facts.

The link is to the platform. There are many, many GOP candidiates who not only want to follow the platform, but who are doing so.

Getting them elected and finding more who will will only help that partiocularl party. We also link to other party platforms without endorsing the party per sey at all. Same with the GOP platform.

That is who and what we support within the GOP if they will come forward and take the oath we are requesting. The candidates we have listed have done that and so have our support.

There is no contradiction in that.

We will support candidates of whatever stripe who swear to uphold those principles we have listed and who swear beforehand to also uphold the constitution accordingly.
