Does the Republican Party Represent
You? The Republican party has long been considered the representative of
conservativism, but does it really reflect conservative values?
- Some Republicans oppose an effort within the RNC to cut off
funding for candidates who support
partial-birth
abortion. John R. Kasich said, "´The Republican National Committee
from Washington should not try to dictate what public officials across the
country are going to support. We are a pro-life party, but I don´t think
we ought to go forward with that."
- Many Republicans joined their liberal counterparts in an
effort to pass a piece of Clinton's Nationalized Health Care Plan, legislation
that extends big government reach into our lives and controls yet another
American industry. As a matter of fact, the legislation containing the largest
tax increase in American history was
sponsored by a republican!
- Where are the pro-family messengers speaking out about taxing
middle and low income families to
enrich
lawyers? Where are the family friendly voices pointing out the hypocrisy of
replacing the
marriage
penalty tax with a larger tax increase?
"Sometimes we wonder if Republicans don´t have a secret
suicide wish. That´s the only way to explain why this GOP Congress seems
eager to hand the nation´s trial lawyers two epic political victories.
Senator John McCain´s tobacco-tax bill promises to turn a passel of
plaintiffs´ lawyers into billionaires. As if that´s not enough,
House Republicans Greg Ganske and Charlie Norwood are proposing to open up
previously exempt parts of the health care economy to liability suits. If a
Democratic Congress tried to do anything at all like this, Republicans would be
rending their garments on the Capitol steps." -The Wall Street
Journal
American
politics is no longer about Democrats, Republicans, or Independents ...
It's not a fight between the Liberal Left and the Christian Right ...
It is about WHAT America is.
It's a war of competing ideas and
worldviews. It's a conflict over beliefs
and values, over the ideas that will rule society. It's about whether certain
individuals are above the law or are all Americans equal under the law. It's
about truth... or is truth even important? It's about the direction we want
this country to go in the future. It's about the world we leave for our
children. It's about what god we acknowledge or whether we acknowledge
any god at all. It's about the same struggle man has gone through
since the beginning of time, the struggle between good and evil.
