When your party is collapsing….go farther to the right
In an interview with Townhall.com, J. Kenneth Blackwell, the former Ohio secretary of state who had made an unsuccessful bid to be R.N.C. chairman, said: “Chairman Steele, as the leader of America’s Pro-Life conservative party, needs to re-read the Bible, the U.S. Constitution, and the 2008 GOP Platform. He then needs to get to work — or get out of the way.”
Yep, the head of the RNC needs to re-read the bible. This advice coming from the guy that lost his bid to be the RNC chief. I’m not terribly religious so I don’t know if that was a smack down of some sorts, but it sure sounded like he really dissed Steele there.
I can’t even imagine being a Republican right now where potential leaders of my party are advising one another to read the Bible. Call me crazy but is there a section in the Bible that talks about the meek and helping out the poor, not walking on the other side of the road to avoid the poor, something about lepers, something about money changers, something about no war, loving thy neighbor. But I don’t know, I don’t read that thing.
The GOP is so toast man, so toast.
All Republicans should re-read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence as well. Then they should move on to Thomas Paine. In fact, I have a whole bunch of recommended reading for them.
The way this is going it’s headed for a divorce.
The real problem is moving farther to the right is a recipe for kicking people out of the party rather than bringing people in.
In our everyday lives, most of us have family and friends of all religious, ethnic and political persuasions. A party of absolutes alienates most people who cannot/will not live by those standards unless they denounce certain friends and family members.
The Republican platform is why they have become a regional party in insular communities.
St. Credulous chapter 6 verses 2-3 – If thy preformeth the procedure God doth prohibith, expect thy to be doth expelled by the party that is grand and old. If thy consider it, thine be damned!
