Seeking a return to Republican virtue...

People of conscience need to quit the GOP and register as Independents.

Delay Republicans!!

Whether they'll ever get their party back, I don't know, but it's so good to hear true conservatives admonish the current party that claims that label but is anything but conservative!

I especially liked this:

We believe that a respected and balanced Republican leadership in the House will be beneficial to the nation and we would like to see a return of the kind of bi-partisan cooperation and courtesy on critical issues, which brought this nation world leadership and respect after World War II. These are not matters of Republican vs. Democrat or conservative vs. liberal; we see them as issues that transcend party loyalty and political philosophy.

There can be no greater goal today than restoration of faith of our people in our own government and those whom we elect to lead us.

I also like this part --

Finally, our concern has continued to grow over the close relationship between indicted Indian gaming lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his claimed best friends, DeLay and Doolittle. Both have received substantial money from Abramoff, as has Doolittle’s wife. Doolittle has contributed $10,000 to DeLay’s legal defense fund and Richard Pombo has been named by one Washington watchdog organization as being one of “the 13 most corrupt members of Congress.”

....I do believe that fellow has a point!

Sadly, he sounds like too much of a gentleman to make much headway the "Delay Republicans" gutter-tactics and the Rush "It's not how right I am, it's how LOUD" Limbaughs of the world.

My sane Republicans have actually survived, they are alive!
:woohoo:


"...but they also were deliberately abandoning traditional Republican principles dating back to Teddy Roosevelt and held by recent leaders as diverse as Barry Goldwater, Elliot Richardson and George H.W. Bush. These include fiscal responsibility with the goal of balanced budgets, progressive taxation, environmental protection, freedom of individual choices, limited powers of the federal government, paper-verification of voting results, judicial independence, prohibition of torture of prisoners and separation of church and state."


Poor guys, they must be cringing at Cheney and Rumsfeld being back in power. Poor us, too.

Do a spell check on Rumsfeld...it's hilarious.

I hate them all

I guess you'd have to go back to Teddy Roosevelt. ;-)
