Republican Leadership Purity Resolution, Too Little Too Late

I read that a segment of Republican leadership is considering a Purity Resolution to help unify the leadership. To obtain their goal they will be attempting to stave off what will surely be solid resistance from the more liberal elements of the party. They will discuss it this winter in Honolulu.

How nice.

I’m not sure having a bunch of party leadership flying off to Honolulu is a wise choice considering the dire straits the Republic is in, the current state of the economy and frustration of the average Republican conservative who just gave up a few days of groceries to donate to the conservative cause. Will the conservative base be encouraged by leadership spending the donors grocery money or child’s school shoe money flying to Hawaii to discuss how, if you’re only for gun control and government funded abortion, you can still be included ‘under the big tent’ and get more party funding?

Explain to me again how this exercise will bolster the conservative confidence in Republican leadership. Please. I want to believe.

I searched the various definitions of political party on the web. Generally I came up with something like, “A group of people who are organized for the purpose of obtaining and using political power. The party develops a political platform that defines their ideology and sets out the agenda they would pursue should they win elective office.”

This definition does not come to my mind when I think of the current GOP leadership. The GOP leadership is not of unified ideology and they surely do not pursue anything. Over time the various iterations of GOP leadership have failed to mount a significant counter assault to return our Republic back to the more constitutionally conforming government that our founding fathers established. Even when in control of legislative and executive branches of government, they failed to execute lasting conservative reforms. At best they’ve been somewhat of a boat anchor to the socialists over the past 100 years, just slowing them down a bit here and there. Now the GOP leadership is dissolving at the seams, and the best they HOPE to muster is to obtain 80% minimum ‘purity’, if they can manage that. Purity in my book is NOT defined by the percentage of 80. My fellow Americans, I’m sure you feel the same way.

So where does a true conservative turn? You’re laying your children to bed at night and wondering what their future will be like. You wonder if you’ll be put out to medical pasture when your 65. You hurry to put out of your mind the subject of abortion, partial birth or otherwise, because no one in the GOP is willing to go to the wall to support your ideals. You’re challenged to predict what courage you will be able to muster WHEN ‘they’ decide we are too ignorant to own firearms. Well, move over. I’ve been there.

Like you, I am an average person working hard to make a living and pass something on to my kids. They have made that so impossible that in my frustration I decided to take things in my own hands and run for national office. The party I found most in agreement with my Constitutional, conservative ideals was the Constitution Party where the platform NEVER changes and is always focused on the Constitution with a faith in the wisdom of the Lord. Want a Wisconsin political attack animal that will fight on the House floor and media to restore a Constitutional Republic to your and my children? Elect me. Just once. Elect me.

As the Republican leadership toils and sacrifices this winter in Hawaii to achieve 80% ‘purity’ and continues to let Obama set the game table by reacting in opposition to “Obama’s socialist agenda” please consider this; give thought to what it might be like to support candidates that are your neighbors, are damned tired of this endless absurd game and will pro-actively lead to take back our liberty and Republic so our children can realize freedom beyond our wildest dreams….because liberty is not merely being able to select between the Government Option and a fine and/or prison time.
