Republican Unity, Winning Back the Congress, Retaining the White House
The Republican Party is a bigger tent than popular portrayal would have the average person believe. We have leaders with a variety of stances on such issues as abortion, embryonic stem cell research, immigration, taxes, Social Security, education, the role of religion in the public square, marriage laws, gun ownership, environmental protection methods, health care reform, military deployment, and more.
We have single-issue voters, the Wall Street Journal types, libertarians, Religious Right folks, general conservatives, general moderates/mavericks, and full-out RINOs.
And yes, whenever there is a Democrat or lame duck Republican President, we’re going to have a battle within our party for what kind of nominee we’re going to put up against the Democrat. But with all of our differences, can we agree that we don’t want the Presidency to go to the Democrat party, which is currently controlled by: environmental alarmists, class warfare fomenters, Big Labor, race-baiters, open borders advocates who seek “international” approval for all of our actions and laws, and extremists who support taxpayer-funding for abortion on demand through full pregnancy while opposing informed consent and parental notification?
So, let’s have our internal debate about who our candidate will be, but let’s do in a civil manner that doesn’t wound the party, and let’s not pretend that it would be good to have a candidate the MSM adores. The MSM is going to side with the Democrat. The Democrats are going to nominate a Democrat, and we might as well nominate a real Republican.
Let’s win back Congress and get another Republican elected President.
We can do it, but we have to appeal to a majority of the voters. To do that, we need to show that Republican leadership will better for…
-Those who are currently targets of terrorism (that’s just about any American).
-Those victimized or threatened by rampant crime.
-Taxpayers who do not want their taxes increased.
-Parents who want to raise their kids as they see fit, with more choices in education, with protection from those who would contribute to delinquency or otherwise harm them.
-Employers who don’t want more government interference in their dealing with their own employees.
-Property owners and landlords who don’t want more government interference in what they do with their property or how they deal with their renters.
-Business owners who don’t want more government interference in their businesses.
-Investors who want to invest more of their own money and don’t want the government attacking the businesses in which they’ve invested.
-Religious people who want to be able to peacefully express their faith and don’t want their faith’s contribution to the nation, their state, or their municipality to be denied by suppression of their heritage.
-Wealthy people who want to use their own money and property as they choose without being demonized and punished through higher taxation, and those who aspire to be wealthy some day.
-Medical and insurance professionals who do not want more government interference in their business.
-People who really, truly want to see abortion become rare.
-People who think science should serve human life, and that human life shouldn’t be sacrificed for science, especially not with tax funding.
-Military personnel and their families who want support while deployed and after.
-Gun owners who do not want more restrictions on gun ownership.
-Married couples who understand that using government force to compel states and the people to recognize counterfeit marriages as marriage devalues marriage and is an undue interference into their beliefs.
-Individualists in general who want to be less dependent on government.
If we do this well, we will regain Congress and and keep the Presidency.
