Comments on: When you say you are a Republican candidate, shouldn’t it mean something specific? http://www.kansasra.org/blog/archives/1941 Kansas Conservative Politics and Beyond Mon, 09 Aug 2010 11:33:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Backroadsnews http://www.kansasra.org/blog/archives/1941/comment-page-1#comment-588 Backroadsnews Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:30:09 +0000 http://www.kansasra.org/blog/?p=1941#comment-588 I have no problem with a litmus test or whatever you want to call it. Being a Republican should stand for something. I do wonder, though, why we have to continue to bring President Reagan into the discussion. I have no problem with him, but I was in grade school when he was president so I really don't have any connection to him. Nor do most younger voters. I think we need to keep the focus on the principles, not on specific individuals. I have no problem with a litmus test or whatever you want to call it. Being a Republican should stand for something.

Brownback ruined our nation as a Senator. Why would we want him to be a GOV? Look at how hard Ron Thornburgh worked to be our next GOV. And then in pops Brownback and his cronies ruining our state party. Get rid of Brownback. I don't trust him and look what he did to our nation? What is he going to do? Ruin Kansas now? No thanks, Sam. You have done enough damage. Be honorable and just retire. tdus I also think Sam Brownback and his cronies need to be purged. Brownback ruined our nation as a Senator.

He is supporting both dems and republicans. Why? Ask him. He won't tell me. But we know, don't we Steve? Further, we need to get rid of Steve Cloud. He is supporting both dems and republicans. Why?

He won’t tell me. But we know, don’t we Steve?

And don't even get me started on how horrible Larry Gates is. He, Sebelius and Moore collectively ruined the Kansas Democatic Socialist Party for decades. The Dem Socialists failed to plan for a new generation of leaders. Hence, due to that failure and lack of leadership, I joined the Kansas GOP. The Kansas GOP is light years ahead of the Kansas Dem Socialists. And will remain that way for an indefinite future. Blame Larry Gates. I do. tdus Postscript.

Why not? Regardless, I am a party leader reshaping the GOP so at least federally, we are going to sweep all federal elections. And at the state and local level, we are going to do well also. Everyone is tired of fiscal irresponibility. And it time to hold those whom almost caused our country to collaspe to the biggest depression since the Great Depression, there is the imminent need for a "new generation of leaders". As stated by Moore. Finally, he said something I agree with. Further, isn't Nick Jordan the same generation as Moore. We need to get rid of him also. Election a new generation of leaders in 2010. Try Scherer. He is better. Well, considering the fact that I am one of the party leaders, no one asked me about this. Why not?

It needs done PERIOD. This is so common sense it is stupid. The dems do this kind of thing all day long and then whine all day long about how non-inclusive it is if we enough think about it. Their pro-abort and pro-GIVEEVERYDIMEINTHEWORLDTOEDUCATION litmus tests are just a starting point. It isn't even about "conservative" principles. Let's get real for a minute. Not everyone in the GOP is a conservative and not every conservative is of that bent for the same reason. We have a big house. It just doesn't need to include RINO's. So, instead of camping out on requiring conservative principles, we should simply rate votes and require anyone running under our banner to meet the same test that legislation does -- 3/4. If during the last legislative session, you did not vote 75% in line with GOP principles, you should not be able to register in the next election as a GOP candidate. It doesn't get any more straightforward than that. We have a minimum threshold we much maintain. Since we are a party of principles and integrity, why let there be so much wiggle room? You have to be 18 to vote. So, if you are a really good person and you just saved someone's life and you say you are very careful and pay a lot of attention to the issues should we let you vote at 17.5? Probably, but we can't bend the rules for you. Neither should we bend our principles to include people without any. This is such a no-brainer. It needs done PERIOD.
