RINO Powell

He thinks he's a Republican. But he supports liberal democrat policies. Enough so to make Bill Clinton look like a conservative.

"He is pro-choice regarding abortion, and in favor of "reasonable" gun control.^[47] He stated in his autobiography that he supports affirmative action that levels the playing field, without giving a leg up to undeserving persons because of racial issues. Powell was also instrumental in the implementation of the military's Don't ask, don't tell policy."

But he wants the GOP to follow his lead. Why not have 2 socialist parties after all? Now we have one socialist party and one socialist lite.

If the GOP does what he wants, the Libertarians and Constitution Parties will make a lot of head way with conservatives.

Now, at least the GOP pretends to be conservative....while they need the conservative votes......then govern like democrats after the conservatives elect them....having a hard time getting Bob Taft, George Voinovich, Mike Dewine, Arlen Specter, Olympia Snow etc, etc, out of my mind.

What is it about the GOP leadership and conservative candidates?

On the one hand we have the RNC, President Bush and Sen. Rick Santorum supporting Specter in the 2004 GOP primary over a real conservative, Pat Toomey. Specter won by 2%. Specter repaid their support by switching parties (officially anyway, he always voted like a democrat). Specter is more liberal than many democrat Senators.

Now we have Jim Bunning, a conservative in Kentucky who's candidacy will die of lack of support.....in the GOP primary, no less. So much for supporting incumbents. Or is it just liberal GOP incumbents that the RNC and party leaders support?

The media and other GOP members are citing the fact that Bunning is having a hard time raising money as a reason to not support him. Yet, by their lack of support, they are keeping people from donating to him in the first place.

One wonders sometimes, does the GOP really want to win? Or is it they've become so effeminate they don't like real men like Bunning?

Ohio University College Repbulicans' Blog

I'm very happy to see the OUCRs have their own blog. It has many good posts.

I'm glad they remember that Republicans are supposed to be conservatives. Some older folks seem to forget that after they get their government jobs.

Here it is

"The Ohio University College Republicans represent the Republican Party on campus and are dedicated to promoting conservative ideals to young people. We believe in economic freedom, personal responsibility, lower taxes and less government. We are an active club that has hosted speakers, debates and various other special events. We have also worked on local, state and national campaigns."

Amen!

"It is very, very clear that authenticity matters. We can no longer afford to talk one way and behave in another."

Blackwell would be a great RNC Chairman.

He did so poorly in the 2006 Gubernatorial election because we have a bunch of wine and cheese / Bob Taft Republicans that will not support a conservative. Especially one they know will do what he says after election day.
