Time To Fight Back Against RINO Betrayal
With the past 2 elections having been downright disasters for the Republican Party, conservatives and moderates have been in a bit of a fight for the party’s soul and it’s future direction.
As a conservative, I firmly believe the party is best served when it stays true to conservative principles – and that acting like Democrats leads to our defeat. At the same time, I still welcome people like Rudy Giuliani in our “Big Tent.”
However, in my opinion, fiscal conservatism ought be a common denominator between the moderates and conservatives. In fact, violating fiscal conservatism is one of the key reasons for our losses in the past 2 cycles. That’s what makes the actions of Senators Specter, Nelson and Collins completely unforgiveable. As the party is just now attempting to get back to basics, these Senators are acting in the very fashion that has decimated the “Republican brand.”
Now, I think it is time to say enough is enough. If this bill passes due to their actions, then each of them deserved to be tossed out. This is even an opportunity for Michael Steele, the new RNC Chair, to make a clear statement: There are some things that we will not tolerate as Republicans and reckless spending is right at the top of the list.
The RNC ought to threaten not give a dime to any of these Senators the next time they are up for re-election. No one in the party should give them a dime either. They shouldn’t get one vote in their primaries.
These actions are not fitting of anyone who has an (R) come after their names. If you can’t hold the line on a monstrosity like this then we don’t want you in the party.
