MY SAY: ELECTIONS ARE COMING
Here is a vow. I will not give a plug nickel to any candidate that wants to “reach across the aisle and work with democrats.” That is a frequent mantra of the legislators that want to put their hands in my wallet. Why would anyone want to reach out to those who have slandered and libeled Republicans with accusations of racism, metaphorical “rape”, indifference or hostility to the poor, women, trees, animals and the whole planet?
I want legislators who adhere to true conservative/liberal policies on social, economic and defense issues, not clones of Dick Durbin such as John McCain, and not mindless parrots who spread the lies of climate change which hamper business and economy while doing nothing for humanity or our planet.
And here is a reminder to the weak and dispirited Republicans. Forget Karl Rove. Remember this. The path to the presidency of Ronald Reagan was paved by Senator Barry Morris Goldwater- a man whom I disliked for his overt hostility to Israel. Nonetheless Goldwater, an early incarnation of the Tea Party rejected the legacy of the New Deal and inspired a conservative revolt.He emphasized states’ rights and opposed interference by the federal government in state affairs. While Goldwater was called extreme and alien, his voting records prove otherwise . He lost big to Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and dragged a few Republicans down with his loss. In 1971 he fought to stop funding of the United Nations. He said…”I suggested on the floor of the Senate today that we stop all funds for the United Nations. Now, what that’ll do to the United Nations, I don’t know. I have a hunch it would cause them to fold up, which would make me very happy at this particular point. I think if this happens, they can well move their headquarters to Peking or Moscow and get ’em out of this country.”
He lost big to Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and took quite a few Republicans down in the process. However, he enrgized the conservative movement which culminated with the election of Ronald Reagan.
