The Beltway GOP Establishment is Pushing a Pro-Abortion Senate Candidate on Oregon

The national narrative today suggests that the chances of the Republican Party taking over the Senate in November are increasing as the map of competitive races expands.

One of the states that the pundits are increasingly talking about is Oregon. If you are listening to the Beltway establishment, including Rove, you would think that there is only one Republican candidate running in Oregon — Dr. Monica Wehby.

The problem with this is two-fold:

1) Monica Wehby is not the only candidate running for the Republican nomination

2) Monica Wehby is a liberal Republican and proudly pro-abortion.

Luckily, Oregonians have an alternative. His name is Jason Conger, and my organization, Oregon Right to Life, has proudly endorsed him.

Despite being abandoned by his mother as a child and suffering periods of homelessness, he nevertheless worked his way through community college and graduated from Harvard Law School.

Conger has been endorsed by nearly every Republican state legislator in Oregon and 97 percent of Jason Conger’s itemized contributions have come from Oregon.

Meanwhile, 40 percent of Monica Wehby’s itemized contributions have come from out-of-state, thanks to the DC GOP establishment’s support of her candidacy – including contributions from Senators Susan Collins, Saxby Chambliss, and Richard Burr.

The Beltway GOP establishment – likely orchestrated through the NRSC – thinks they know Oregon better than those of us fighting here in the trenches.

It is simple: the Beltway GOP establishment does not believe that a conservative can win in Oregon. So they are trying to hoist a liberal Republican on Oregon conservatives.

I have a simple request: Stay out of our state, and let us choose the best person to represent our values to be on the ballot this November.

In the money race, Conger has $215k and Wehby has $500k. Unfortunately, Merkin Muffley has $6.3 million.

The only thing that the GOPe stand for is creating opportunities for themselves to amass even more wealth and power. Government and law are just tools to be used to force the little people to do their wishes.

Rove, the GOPe hasn’t learned a thing from the DeDe Scozzafeva fiasco.

Any Republican that supports infanticide is non-existent to me.

Blast it...well, write off this state. A doctor is probably the only candidate that could have won in Oregon, but not a doctor with this kind of record.

I first heard of Wehby from Hugh Hewitt of all people, in that article about his (somewhat incorrect) ranking of competitive Senate races.

He seems to be pimping her.

I think running a state legislator instead of some random doctor is probably the best bet, even if she hadn’t given the Kennedy answer on abortion (”I’m a pro-life Catholic BUT...).

Troubling is her claim she’d “revamp” Obamacare rather than repeal it. Obamacare is the central issue in this election. She’s also wishy washy on Shamnesty and queers playing house, giving only nebulous statements on either.

I’d back her if she wins the nomination but unlike NH where there is no viable alternative to Scott Brown, there is one here.

14% of Oregon is Catholic ... maybe 5% are practicing Catholic ... why would she identify herself as a pro-life Catholic in a political campaign? Most who identify themselves that way are in states filled with Catholic Dems. Not Oregon.

Pro-choice candidates do it all the time, the “I’m personally pro-life but law of the land woman’s choice blah blah blah”.

It’s lame, I’d have more respect for them if they said “I think human fetuses are no different than bacteria and I passionately support population control”.

yea, but the “Catholic” thing in Oregon is weird.

If Romney said in Mass ... I am a pro-life Mormon ... he’d hafta fire someone. Catholics in Oregon are aliens.

Meanwhile, in New Haven ghetto politics ... the party endorsed nobody for the seat. Free for all special election with no DEM nominee

I don’t think we should write off any state. This seat was republican six years ago, and in my view, can be again...but not with some worthless moderate, go along nominee.
