Hello RNC, are you listening?
I just received a call to renew my RNC membership. The solicitor assured me with my questions and concerns that RNC is moving away from supporting Log Cabin Republicans.
I felt relieved, thanked him and authorized him to transfer me to the verifier to make a donation. I tell the verifier, if what was said was true, that the RNC is moving away from supporting the Log Cabin Republicans, he can double my donation amount.
The verifier, gets mad/defensive. Asks me why would the RNC not support Log Cabin Republicans? He says they are part of the GOP and deserve our vote.
I said that was all I needed to hear and ended my the call. That is, without verifying my donation.
I will send the money directly to the Conservative candidates I support. No more RNC.
My intention was to call Republicans beggars. We are the new minority.
I'm confused. Is this website for Conseratives only? Are moderate and liberal Republicans welcomed here?
The Republican party certainly needs their Conservative members.
FR was built for conservatives:
http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm
Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!
I, personally, don't mind moderate Republicans at all. What seems to have become an intentional confused issue is Log Cabins are NOT moderates. They are SDS. They masquerade as moderates to infiltrate.
May I ask? How many of those candidates won election?
Thanks. I use Free Republic as my Home page. Lately, I am beginning to feel that I had better find a new homepage. I am a true blue Republican, big part Conservative, little part moderate, NO part liberal.
"I'm confused. Is this website for Conservatives only? Are moderate and liberal Republicans welcomed here?"
It's a conservative website, but good luck in defining what a conservative is. It's not a Republican website per se, and that's a key distinction that allows me, a Democrat, to post here. There are a few other conservative Democrats posting here as well, but I think I'm the only one who does so as openly.
I would argue that the Republican party needs it's conservative members as well, but I would also go further and argue that it is in little danger of actually losing them. The only other major party alternative at this point is the Democrats, and contrarian conservatives who choose the Democratic party are very rare.
Look at Soros' campaign contributions available for all to see on the web and you will see he donates to all the RINOS including Specter for openers. Anybody who receives contributions from the Main Street group gets Soros' money, but then from the sound of your posts, that's probably fine with you.
>> I don't want Log Cabins to exist. There is a big difference.
Hildy's question was sensational but worth noting in terms of the erroneous generalizations the leftys impart on the Right.
I couldn't agree more, however, with your response to Hildy. There is a big difference between homosexuality and the left-wing homosexual agenda. That said, I would imagine it's a difficult proposition for a homosexual who is otherwise Conservative to work comfortably on the right side of the fence. But then again, you have people like Tammy Bruce who appear to be successful.

A homosexual is not synonymous with Log Cabin Republicans.
Thank you for your reply. In order to ease my confusion, are not Democrats either Conservative Democrats called Blue Dog, or liberal? Republicans consist of Conservatives and Moderates. If the Republican Party had no Conservative members, there would be no Republican party. I think it is admirable that you admit to being a democrat. It is imperative that we try to find a solution to our process for electing our political officials. They must be held accountable.

Republican Gays are Closeted Dems
Excerpt:
The mystery man at the center of the scandal, Jeff Trandahl, is supposed to be a "lifelong Republican" who is gay. But Trandahl, who supervised the congressional page program as House clerk and knew about the controversial Foley emails many years ago, has a strange way of showing his Republicanism. A search of Federal Election Commission (FEC) records over the last six years shows no financial contributions to the Republican Party or Republican candidates. Instead, Trandahl in 2000 gave $1,200 to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, which gives over 80 percent of its political campaign money to Democrats.
Trandahl is so much of a Republican that he joined the board of the Human Rights Campaign Fund, another gay political action committee that commits most of its funds to electing Democrats. Its latest list of "winning candidates" is all Democrats, except for Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee, who admits not voting for President Bush in 2004.
If you are getting the idea that gay Republicans may be closeted Democrats, then you are beginning to understand how the Mark Foley scandal could have been a Democratic Party dirty trick.
In response to the scandal, a representative of the Log Cabin Republicans, a homosexual activist group, has been on cable channels like CNN and MSNBC expressing the fear that the Foley scandal will be used to root out homosexual influence in the Republican Party. But the Log Cabin Republicans are so Republican that its board voted 22-2 against endorsing President Bush in 2004 because of his stand against homosexual marriage.
So if the gay Republicans are not really Republicans, what are they? One veteran observer of this network told AIM that the Foley scandal should make it crystal clear that the gay Republicans are in reality "liberal activists" who want to use the party to advance the same homosexual agenda embraced by the Democrats.

Read that, now go back and read my post 54 and 57.
Cross reference, Victory Fund, HRC and Log Cabin with my prior posts 54 and 57.
"We cannot effectively deal with those "world matters" when our "bedrooms" are polluted with perversion that is government sanctioned."
So you believe the government shouldn't be in my bedroom? Or do you believe the government should be in my bedroom?
I'm confused. If the government should be in my bedroom, maybe I shouldn't own a gun either? Maybe I am not responsible enough to know what is right and wrong. I probably shouldn't have my own money either because I could buy transfat laden french fries and cigarettes. And I shouldn't have a MP3 player because I can walk across the street and get killed.

Log Cabin Republicans campaigned AGAINST Bush in 2004.
Log Cabin (Republicans) need to account for where they got the money to fund the $1M ad campaign against President Bush in 2004 in key battleground states. This is a Federally-regulated organization (IRS and FEC rules apply!), but they have never documented where this money came from.
Well I am not partically wealthy, so I have given to about 10 candidates and 5 of them have won. Some of these are house members, so I have given to some of them more than once. I gave to Steele this past election and unfortunately he lost.
I will not support candiddates who support sodomy recognition.
I dropped out of the RNC a couple of years ago, when Elizabeth Dole was the solicitor in general. I could never get straight answers from the solicitors when they called, similar to yours, and finally just gave up. I wrote a rather lengthly letter to Ms. Dole, and expressed my concerns, and never got the courtesy of a reply, even a form letter.
I started to support my local congressman, and will continue to do so.
Steele deserved to win. Black Republicans have a long hard climb up that ladder. I hope he doesn't give up. He is one of the good ones.
Amen. I will NEVER forget them and how WEAK they were/are.
post 71
If the RNC is promoting policies you disagree with, big spending or amnesty for II, yeah, refuse their calls for contributions. But what's the pro-gay policy endorsed by the RNC, evidently funded by the LCR??
