A Ship Heavy In Transit equates to a slow moving vessel loaded with bulk that restricts reaction to critical situations and the ability to correct its course in order to provide a more streamlined and focused message. I think this is the situation in which the National Democratic Party and the RINOs of the Republican Party have placed themselves.
True believers of the Republican Party Platform and the American Way of Life do believe in Less Government, Individualism, and Personal Responsibility. If this belief remains the true base of the Republican Party, then there will be a tidal wave of new Conservative Candidates elected on the National, State, and Local levels.
The Republican Party is loaded with Republicans In Name Only. This is true of the National Party as well as the Local Party. It is time to replace office holders and candidates who are using the Party Name to further their own political and personal goals instead of attaching themselves to Conservative Issues such as Individualism, Less Government, and Personal Responsibility.
There were at least two Republican Candidates at the Political Forum held in Dayton Texas that stated or insinuated that Political Affiliation did not matter and at the end of the day we were all still friends anyway.
I agree that Friendship and Family ties matter but I do not think that taking a Political Stand on issues should be based upon feelings. I do think that Party Political Beliefs (platforms and stated beliefs) should determine where a person makes their political home.
Therefore, after hearing at least two of the Republican Candidates indicate that Party Affiliations does not matter; I have to question why they are running as Republicans. It also makes me wonder why one of the Candidates bothered swapping from the Democratic Party to the
Republican Party if Political Belief and Party affiliation makes no difference to the voting public.
Republican Party, if you have a doubt as to why a Candidate is running as a Republican, Do Not Vote for that Candidate in the Primary!
I don’t know about you but I am looking to dump the Liberal Democratic Agenda and return to core Conservative Republican Values. Allowing a Republican In Name Only to Triangulate our Party will only serve to minimize the ability to send the Party of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Boxer, Landrieu, Nelson and the rest of the Socialist Democrats back to private pursuits and rid them from being obstacles of the American Dream.
By the way, my understanding of the term “triangulate” as it refers to politics is “the political strategy of taking on your opponent’s issues and making them your own in order to destroy your opposition”.
If we allow the Local Democratic Party to take over the Republican Party by Osmosis, What have we gained?
