How would YOU know what a Republican in Eastern Oregon wants to do?
My sense of history and political realities says major parties are afraid of anyone outside their control.
The Kennedy’s-Democrats were scared to death of racial violence and losing white votes because of Martin Luther King’s activities in the early 1960’s.
That’s why the FBI was recording MLK’s sexual activities on audio tape.
The Republicans are just as scared of violence today that would cause them to lose ‘moderate votes’ and I think Republican leaders everywhere including Eastern Oregon know this.
ALL REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES HAVE CALLED ON THE PROTESTORS TO LEAVE......
Its a fact that the co-chairman of the Republican Party in Harney County, Oregon, Tim Smith, wants the protest to end at the wildlife refuge and has signed a letter to that effect.
Without that protest, the plight of the Hammond’s and other land owners would not have been raised to the level of attention its getting and there would be no chance of anything really changing.
