Busting the Republican Brand - Time to start a NEW Conservative Party!

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

rino.jpgI wanted to post this article since we were talking about this the other day.
Peggy U said in a comment:
“I’m definitely thinking a new Conservative party may be the only answer”

I agree 100% - Man I wish I could figure out some way to at the very least spark the interest of a bunch of blogger types to spur momentum on this.
If we don’t we will have more John McCain’s on our future presidential tickets.

by Lynn Woolley - On Human Events

Travis Childers has become an ominous symbol for Republicans. He has provided a wake-up call to party leaders that the great unwashed multitudes have understood for a while: the term “Republican” doesn’t stand for anything anymore. If the Republican Party is to survive, the brand will have to be rebuilt.Childers, by the way, is a Democrat who won Mississippi’s first congressional district – something virtually nobody thought possible. District One is one of the safer Republican seats in the country. If the Childers win is a harbinger, then look for the GOP to lose another twenty House seats in November. It’s possible that Democrats could pick up five seats in the Senate. If you combine that with a Democratic White House, the Republican Party fades to insignificance.

To understand how this has happened to the once-grand old party, you have to understand the concept of “positioning” of which “branding” is a part. Positioning is the art of creating a concept or “position” for a product in the mind of the prospective consumer. Once that position is established, you have a brand.

For example, both Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble have web sites for selling books. But Amazon “owns” the position of being the on-line bookseller while people think of Barnes & Noble as a traditional store. These positions are strong brands.

It works that way with any product. If you buy a can of Folgers, you expect to get coffee. If you open the can and you get beans, you might think a mistake was made at the factory. You try again and this time, you get corn. The next time, you reach for another brand.

Back in the wilderness days of the 60’s and 70’s, the GOP didn’t stand for much and wasn’t particularly relevant. Then, in the wake of William F. Buckley and Barry Goldwater, came Ronald Reagan. Reagan created a strong brand for the Republicans. He railed against Big Government, called for lower taxes, and a strong military. The Republican brand was established under Reagan as the party of empowering the people rather than the state.

It was a brand that showcased why the Republican Party was not only different from the Democratic Party – but better!

Then came the Bushes. The first President Bush famously said “read my lips, no new taxes,” then negotiated with Democrats to raise taxes. He talked about a “new world order” where Reagan had championed America. He bucked the brand and lost his reelection campaign to Bill Clinton.

Then came the second President Bush, who was thought by many to be more conservative than his father. Campaigning as a “compassionate conservative,” he claimed the presidency after the Florida debacle and began a gradual shift to the left.

He busted the Republican brand by expanding the Education Department and creating an entire new department (Homeland Security). He lost the battle to fix entitlements and responded by creating a new one, the pharmaceutical benefit, and by expanding middle-class welfare through CHIP insurance. For six years, he failed to wield his veto pen as the Republican Congress spent the country silly and tacked on billions of dollars in earmarks. 9/11 exposed the deterioration of our military prowess that occurred under the watch of his father and Bill Clinton.

Now here’s the really strange part of all this:

The more leftward Bush has turned, the more the Democrats and the media have branded him an archconservative. So Bush’s failures have been ascribed to conservative policies when they have been nothing of the kind.

The election of someone such as Barack Obama would ensure that most of the Bush policies (with the notable exception of the war) would be retained and expanded. Where Bush gave us a new entitlement, Obama would give us nationalized healthcare. Where Bush spent big, Obama would spend bigger.

Obama would give us a third Bush term.

McCain would give us open borders, amnesty for illegal aliens and just slightly less climate-change socialism than we would get from Obama. What’s the difference? Only that Obama will be true to his brand. He will faithfully provide higher taxes and bigger government. McCain, as Bush has done, will bust the brand and give us pretty much the same thing.

Obama, Terrorists, Oil, Stupid, America Screwed

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Work with me people I’m gonna weave a couple of topics and posts into one confusing one, LOL!

From Hot Air

The latest ad from the RNC takes some low-hanging fruit and makes a feast from it. The ad takes the energy policy of Barack Obama and compares it to the last President that tried it — Jimmy Carter. Obama’s call for a windfall-profits tax against oil companies prompts a history lesson about the results from the last such attempt:

RNC Commercial

MORE HERE

MORE READINGPDF - RNC Research Briefing: Why Does Barack Obama Want To Increase Taxes Again And
Drive Up The Cost Of Gasoline On Americans?

BUT NOW WATCH THIS CLIP OF OBAMA….

TEXT: Sen. Barack Obama The Age of oil must end speech

“your great mayor” LOL!

“We fuel our oil addiction by sending over 800 million dollars a day to countries that include some of the most despotic volatile regimes in the world.”

“oil money funds everything from the madrassas that plant the seeds of terror in young minds, to sunni insurgents that attack our troops in Iraq, corrupts budding democracies
and gives dictators from Venezuela to Iran the power to freely defy the international community it even presents a larger target for Osama Bin Laden who has told Al Qaeda to focus your operations on oil especially in Iraq and the gulf area since this will cause Americans to die off on their own”

The clip

Now Bush says this:

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,”

said Bush, in what White House aides privately acknowledged was a reference to calls by Obama and other Democrats for the U.S. president to sit down for talks with leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Because Obama said this….

Obama: “Sure, I’ll meet with Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, etc”

And as Allahpundit noted, from Obama’s own website:

obama-website.jpg

Without preconditions. That means without Iran guaranteeing anything, let alone the big prize of their nuclear program.

MORE OF THIS HERE AT HOT AIR AGAIN

Now I’m confused and I’m the one posting this shit, Obama says to me (Snoop evil dictator) you run one of the most despotic regimes in the world and I plant the seeds of terror in young minds, and you STILL want to sit down and talk to me? What the fuck?
Which is it? Negotiate with terrorist thugs, stop sending these thugs our money via oil, reduce dependency on foreign oil, we need a windfall profits tax to tax the oil companies, oh don’t forget that we have no other alternative energy resources, bla bla bla, yada yada yada.

CONFUSED!?!

Yes I must agree with El Borak, an Obama presidency will no doubt be a fun one blogging wise. Just think the Democrats will fucken have control of the House, Senate and likely the presidency (even if McCain wins the same thing). The Democrats are likely to turn this country back into the Stone Age. And who do we have to blame, Republicans since they are a bunch of spineless no guts assholes that refuse to run on and stand up for conservative principles.

With the Democrats in charge America will in essence be imprisoned by liberalism and thus will become the “tossed salad man”

Dammit, I feel like such an ass!! Fred endorses McCain

Monday, February 11th, 2008


fred1a.JPG

I shall put myself in “timeout” for falling for such a fucken fraud, Fred Thompson and his phony “conservative” campaign.

Found Via Hot Air  - (full post here)  - The Bolton endorsement and the Fred endorsement on the same day. 

While campaigning in Wichita, this afternoon with KS senator and former presidential candidate Sam Brownback, John McCain announced that he had recently received the support of another former candidate. “I also spoke again yesterday to my friend Fred Thompson who assured me he is ready to do whatever it takes to help me win the election in November,” McCain said. “I’m very proud to have the friendship and support of Fred Thompson as well.”

“Republicans” seem to me to be increasingly devoid of common sense

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

mccain3.jpgFolks I hope those of you who come a peep my little blog realize one thing, one of the main reasons I blog is for my own educational purposes.
This blog is hardly viewed by nor will it ever be viewed by enough people for it to be “influential” or relevant.
I am an obsessive blog reader, I have said countless times I love my homies on the right, even those with whom I may not agree with on every topic mainly because they are truly educated in the world of politics and most are passionate.

I am really pissed off this morning, partly because I’m a bit cranky since I have been on Mrs. Snoops South Beach diet. I am munching on celery, cherry tomatoes and cottage cheese for breakfast. She says the first two weeks are the hardest, it’s true. I have not had ANY alcohol in almost 3 weeks, no joke. Anywho, Snoop, anger… aimed at so-called Republicans. I usually keep the TV on in my office and I watch the pundit gab fests as background noise and I constantly get pissed at all of the networks including Fox who continue to prop up these fraud ass Republicans and intentionally leave Fred out of the election conversation and it has worked.

I listened to several radio talk shows, (not Rush, he was out yesterday) and the phone lines were filled with “republicans” saying that they did not know ANYTHING about Fred Thompson, and how he has failed to articulate his views on issues.
Forget abut Fred for a minute here, my problem is with these so called Republicans, bunch of old dumb ass ignorant fucks who continue to be so easily swayed by these jackass GOP phonies while at the same time say that “while I was excited about the possibility of a Thompson campaign, he just has not shown me anything.” What the fuck is he suppose to show you, does dude got to dance on his damm head and do magic tricks to get noticed?

rudyforpresident.jpgI’ve got to give it up to Ron Paul fans, although dude is frankly a political train wreck, his peeps got the word out about him and has forced people to pay some attention to him.
I won’t mention Paul’s treasure chest of issues including his racist past that his fans refuse to acknowledge.
But hey, dude got 7 percent of the vote last night, major props.
Libertarians should back their own, guy and they did it.
However the Republicans, at least the people I hear bitching and moaning are infinitely clueless.
At least the Democrats have a choice between liberal candidates’ number one, number two and number three, while the Republican field is being led by a bunch of closet liberal Democrat flunkies.
I’m angry at the party, and feel that the Republican Party is in deep trouble. I was sent another Republican Party questionnaire and this contribution form, I would not send the GOP a fucken dime, I need to even stop referring to myself as a Republican.
I understand that New Hampshire was not going to be competitive for Fred, but for him to get one fucken percent of the vote is just retarded beyond belief.

Rush talks about this scenario and I totally understand, I really get it, but my hopes for Fred are fading, not for him as a candidate, but that so-called Republicans either too stupid, or increasingly vulnerable to TV pundit yammering and are just too damm lazy to understand the difference between these candidates.
Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter two rock solid, plain spoken individuals without a hint of leftist pandering are nowhere to be found in the conversation, except for most of these politically educated right leaning blogs their message is obviously over most “so-called” Republicans heads.

Folks I would have not problem with people saying to me, I have studied all of the issues and looked at all of the candidates equally but I support candidate A.
But that is not what “Republicans” are doing and saying, they are claiming ignorance, something the party and it’s peeps are showcasing more and more each day.



RUSH: Now, I want to remind all my Republican friends that there are many states after Iowa and New romneyvane.jpgHampshire where the Republican populations are far more indicative of the conservative base, and to get caught up in what happened in Iowa, to get caught up in what’s going to happen in New Hampshire as though they’re the only two states that matter and that they’re going to determine the fallout on both parties is a little bit over the top.Iowa is a caucus; it’s a weird setup. New Hampshire allows independents to vote in the Republican primary, which is why McCain is doing as well as he is doing, and it’s why the media want this to be a bellwether against Romney. I mean, Pat Buchanan came in second. He came in a very strong second in New Hampshire in 1992. Now, I’m not saying that these contests are not to be taken seriously here, and that they’re not to be fought and to be won, but we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves. New Hampshire is no longer the conservative barometer it used to be. The state has changed, it is now quite liberal. A lot of people who used to live in Massachusetts have moved into New Hampshire to escape New Hampshire’s high taxation and other problems. New England generally the northern states, states like Iowa, is not where the conservative base resides in large numbers. The Drive-By Media would love to destroy the conservative coalition. They would love to destroy the conservative base to the Republican Party. That’s why they are promoting Huckabee; it is why they are promoting McCain.

The Drive-By Media, ladies and gentlemen, will tell us each and every day who the true conservatives in the Republican primary are, and they will tell us by virtue of who they attack and also by virtue of who they prop up. They are propping up McCain; they are propping up Huckabee. The Drive-By Media hate conservatives. They want to destroy conservatism. It is the bulwark standing in their way of power and monopolistic control of all the apparatus of the country, government, media, and everything else. It’s one of the best indicators I can offer you. If you’re asking who is the genuine conservative out there or who is most conservative, who is most liberal on the Republican side, just take a look at who the Drive-Bys are enamored of and you will be able to answer the question yourself without me having to tell you. Why do you think that Senator McCain is making his big stand in New Hampshire? Because he did well there in 2000 and because he knows he runs really well with independents. He knows that New Hampshire is not a big conservative state.

jesterhuck.jpgIf McCain were running on a genuine conservative agenda he’d be focusing on South Carolina for example, but he’s not. He’s focusing in New Hampshire because he thinks conservatives can be outnumbered there by this new influx of independents. You know, he’s up there in New Hampshire, if you listen to McCain, touting his left-wing environmental agenda with Joe Lieberman, for crying out loud. Now, recently there has been an endorsement that have people scratching their heads. “Jack Kemp, supply-sider, endorsing McCain? What’s this all about?” I’ll give you two reasons, and I’m just hazarding my own guess here, but I think it’s the old boys club in Washington, the inside the Beltway establishment apparatus, and the dirty little secret: Congressman Kemp is an open borders guy. So is Senator McCain. Have you noticed that in these forums and debates, McCain doesn’t want to talk about immigration; he doesn’t want to talk about campaign finance reform; he doesn’t want to talk about the things that genuinely rile conservatives? He wants to sweep those issues under the rug, and try to redefine what those issues were all about and what his position was on both of them.

Al Sharpton: Black Voters Should Punish GOP

Friday, July 27th, 2007
scam.jpg(From Newsmax) Civil rights leader Al Sharpton said Thursday black voters should punish Republicans who fail to show for presidential candidates’ forums hosted by the National Urban League and the NAACP.”We can only assume you weren’t courting us,” Sharpton said. “Republicans have to lay out their policies and court the African-American vote. We need to have our interests debated in the market place.”

Sharpton noted there won’t be another NAACP or Urban League conference before the presidential primaries.

“When I was in high school, I may not have gone to the prom with the girl I wanted, but with the girl I could get,” he said, suggesting Republicans leave black voters little choice but to vote for a Democrat.

Sharpton was among a panel of black leaders, political strategists from both major parties and journalists who discussed the black vote in the 2008 presidential election at the Urban League’s national conference here.

Five presidential candidates - four Democrats and one Republican - are scheduled to address the conference Friday. Among them are top-tier Democrats Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, and John Edwards. The lone Republican is Rep. Duncan Hunter of California.

Earlier this month, all eight Democratic candidates participated in a forum at the NAACP meeting in Detroit. The only Republican was Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, a long-shot candidate.

Shannon Reeves, director of state and local development for the Republican National Committee, said his role in the RNC was to get them to understand the black community.

“There are some in our party who don’t want to associate with our community,” he said to groans from the crowd. He added that “black folks had to kick the door open. The Democratic Party didn’t open it wide and say come on in.”

Urban League president Marc Morial said black voters deserve more than “drive-by politics and last-minute appeals to churches.” But, he admitted, “sometimes we aren’t good about getting out to vote.” He said no candidate has talked about black economic development, which is the civil rights organization’s major thrust.

(Snooprant:) I don’t know if white folks truly understand the dilemma black individuals like me are in when it comes to being on the polar opposite sides of the societal and political fence with those with whom you share similar pigmentation.

Now those of you white people who insist on baking yourselves in the sun or the “Easy Bake human oven” to achieve the ultimate Negro tan, you don’t count.

We all know that 90 percent of Negros vote Democrat. No P.R. firm could ever turn that around for Republicans and frankly I am resigned that I won’t see that change in my lifetime.

Democrats invest heavily in the Negro vote, because they absolutely know they can’t win without it.
So when do black folks like me say to themselves “ ya know fuck em, those stupid Negros deserve what they get for following these idiot ass niggas like Sharpton.”

As a black individual it is difficult to stray from that identity that is defined by your skin color.
Because of where I live 24/7 I’m inundated by white people. Here in the Midwest you can go a week and not see any black folks.
Some may argue well people are people, but when you are white, everyone you see, everywhere you go, every social situation, ever work situation YOU see people and not white people.
We see both, not in all cases, hell I’m not obsessive about it, but you do think about it.
What makes it more prevalent is when you enter social situations white people unconsciously let you know how they feel about someone of another color invading their territory.

I know it sounds nuts folks but most of us black folks process this shit. SO when we go to a community where there are actually black people participating in world around you, there is some comfort that comes with that.
We can’t help that.

While in Maryland a few months ago, Mrs. Snoop and I went to visit a good friend of mind. It was cool to see upscale black folks, looking nice, not ghettoized, driving nice cars not acting a fool. There, yes it felt comfortable to me. Now Mrs. Snoop on the other hand, well, the roles were reversed, proving we all (or most of us) have that “racial” chip on our shoulders.

NOW, with ole Snoop that is easily erased when I see ghetto ass Negros with busted weaves, saggy paints, gold grills and 1980’s perms.

While in LA, Mrs. Snoop and I went to this neighborhood grocery story around the corner from our hotel to get a salad.
I was at the food bar when this black dude came around the corner and said “whoa a brotha in the hood, right on!” I turned around and said “you too” basically as if to say hell I’m as shocked to see you and you are me.

On occasion in the white world if you see another black person you give them the extra kinship nod for extra recognition that whew, if a riot breaks out I got one brotha on my side. LOL!

So it is sometimes painful to see the damage that corrupt Niggas like Sharpton, Jackson and other liberal Democrat scam artists inflict on the black community and it is even more painful to see that it is all self inflicted because Negros can’t get of the Democrat plantation, most are conditioned to think in very narrow terms. We are not still in the 1960’s.
“Republicans are racist,” you mean less so that Democrats!? It’s just silly.

It’s painful because even as Conservative and as unapologetic I am about my politics you can’t just say “fuck em”, because like it or not you are identified with the very people you criticize.

Bottom line, no matter how Republican I am, no matter my knowledge of Reagan politics and Conservatism, whether I listen to Rush or agree with Newt to some white folks I’m still just a nigger. They don’t give a fuck about your politics, social status, or place of employment.
So because of that you cling to that racial or I mean (hey there’s another Negro) recognition thing.

So black folks like myself are stuck in “neither-world” we are on occasion confused about balancing racial identity vs. political and social reality.

Wow! What an amazing website! I thought all you guys had queitly gone to your graves after WWII muttering about “just following orders” the whole way but instead I find all you hate-filled Nazis right here. What a compendium of lies, paranoia, hate, racism and a laundry list of sins. Fortunately the God you all believe in will send you sickos to burn in hell.

Oh and I see you need moderation so that only fellow brown-shirts can get posted. Just another example of Republican free speech. Is there anything you don’t fear?

ps: go change your pajamas, your skid marks are smelling.

It tis clear that he is lonely and needs attention.

I don’t moderate comments for content only spam.

Liberals who want to post comments are given the highest priority.

Good liberal comments (even idiot ones like yours) are always moved to the top of the blog.
There are no other right leaning blogs that does this.

So why has few liberals ever taken me up on it, because they are only able to speak in clichés and repeat what you find on the DNC website.

They would rather speak amongst their own confused and delusional kind.

So No-doz either bring it on or go back to downloading child porn.

I bet you are Perspiring Pig Guy, pissed off that I posted your drip, drip drip date!
Don’t worry there is a hillbilly chick out there for you all buck toothed and horny.

Send me a post card of the wedding.

Have a Happy 4th

TUESDAY WAS GOOD NEWS FOR …. WHO?

Thursday, November 9th, 2006

muslim11.jpg

From Neal Bortz, yup this sums it up real well… 

I notice that the newspaper and broadcast pundits are telling us who the winners and losers are in Tuesday’s startling elections.  Well … I might as well get in the game here with everyone else. 

The envelope please.

And the winners in this year’s midterm elections are:

Islamic Fascists

(Accepting the award for the Islamic Fascists will be Osama bin Laden)

The focal point of the war against Islamic fascism was Iraq.  The jihadists were sending their fighters to Iraq, there to be killed in gratifying numbers by American and coalition troops.  What was once American resolve is now American weakness.  The people have listened to the politicians — one group that wanted to finish the job, another that didn’t — and gave the nod to the quitters.  Today America is weaker in the eyes of those who would destroy us.  Not a cause for celebration.

democrats6.jpgSlackards

(Accepting the award will be Shirley Sternfaulter, a young mother of three who wants the government to pay for her child care.)

A huge percentage of the people who went to the polls on Tuesday went there to vote for a living.  They feel that the purpose of government is to make sure that the basic necessities of their lives are paid for, while they spend their own money on the newest technology in flat-screen televisions, gadget-filled cell phones and subscriptions to People Magazine.

Illegal Aliens>

(Putting down his leaf blower to accept the award is Pedro Lopez-Garcia-Menendez-Gonzalez, who pays no taxes in the U.S., and sends 80% of each paycheck back to Vera Cruz to take care of his wife and children.)

Yesterday President Bush as much as said that amnesty would be the order of the day.  Now that those pesky Republicans have been kicked out of the majority in the House of Representatives, the president and the Senate will have clear sailing on their plan for amnesty for the 20 million plus illegal aliens now residing in this country.  Oh .. and the border?  Nothing will be done to stop the Mexican invasion, so as soon as Pedro has his paperwork Maria and the kids will be on a bus.

Those who want a weaker America

protest291.jpg(Accepting the award will be Dominique Marie François René Galouzeau de Villepin, sometimes known as Dominique de Villepin, the Prime Minister of France. Dominique was the leader of the Axis of Weasels before he became Prime Minister.)

A poll earlier this year said that something like 58% of Europeans wanted a weaker America.  They got their wish on Tuesday.  Who is going to be there to pull their candied asses out of the oven when they finally wake up and realize the great strides that have been made in the Islamification of Europe?  Hello Eurabia.

The first blow to be struck in the weakening of America will be for the Democrats to get rid of John Bolton as the Ambassador to the United Nations.  They’ll replace him with someone who will not stand up to UN corruption and the forces who want to weaken us.

The Libertarian Party?

(I would be happy to accept this reward, but the don’t like me all that much because I believe that we need to defend this country from both the Islamic fascists and the Mexican invasion.)

Tuesday’s vote showed that a lot of conservatives and libertarians in this country are completely fed up with the Republican Party.  If ever there was a time for the emergence of a third party that would adhere to conservative and libertarian values — without an obsessive allegiance to religious fundamentalists — now is the time.  The Libertarian Party could be just that party.  We’ll see if they’re up to the task.

The leftist media.

ad16.gif(Accepting the award for The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, The Boston Globe, Time Magazine, Newsweek Magazine and too many more to mention will be Dan Rather)

Ninety percent or more of these people vote Democrat.  They engaged in a six-year campaign of demonization of George Bush.  It worked.

Washington Lawyers

(Accepting the Award will be the President of the D.C. Bar Association)

Get ready for two years of investigations, subpoenas, hearings…you name it.  Everything will be investigated, then investigated again.  But the Republicans did it to themselves…every last bit of it.

Memo Gate, Kansas Style…

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

Osovietflag1.jpgk people I’m bored, so I’m posting this tired piece on Kansas Politics. I just heard about this today.
I don’t usually post on Kansas stuff because Kansas politics are kinda fucked up and frankly the Republican Party here has some issues.
Democrats are no better mind you, but we have a decent Governor, yes Democrat I have no beef with her except that her current campaign commercials are just fucken stupid as hell another idiot campaign advisors suggestion. She is a lock for Governor so why waist money on idiot commercials….never mind.
 Back to Kansas politics, we have way too many RINO’s here. Spineless, worthless politicians who are not worthy of being the big man in the party, run like little bitches and become Democrats and claim they had a “change of heart,” all because they don’t get their way. Kline’s opponent Morrison is one of those people. 
Some minion found a memo from the current Kansas Attorney General Phil Kline, who is running for reelection; Right Wing GOP type and Lawrence Journal World broke the story (Ooooo!) on a memo that was leaked, as if they found some hidden treasure. I found this left wing Kansas Blog who posted on the story.
If you read the memo I was shaking my head thinking to myself, why the fuck is this newsworthy, who gives a shit. Read and you will see what I mean.
Liberals are desperate to find any crumb of anti-right, anti-Christian, tidbit to I guess convince people that God is evil, gays deserve “special” rights Sheehan was right and Chavez is cool.

By Diane Silver

The state’s top law enforcement official apparently thinks the way to re-election is to bring the church as close to the state as possible, according to a memo leaked from Attorney General Phill Kline’s campaign.

Reported this morning (Tuesday) by Scott Rothschild of the Lawrence Journal-World, the memo was verified as authentic by Kline’s campaign. The memo details the Republican’s plan to use churches as a fund-raising platforms.

The Journal-World reported:

Kline is a frequent visitor to Kansas churches, often appearing as guest preacher. But the memo makes clear Kline is out to spread more than the Christian message when he takes the pulpit. And he wants to hit as many churches as possible.

(Sherriene Jones, a spokeswoman for the Kline campaign) said none of the fundraising occurred during actual church services, but at later receptions. Under federal tax laws, churches must maintain arm’s length from political candidates or risk losing their tax-free status.

The memo names anti-gay pastors Terry Fox and Joe Wright as targets of Kline’s fund-raising efforts.

All of this shows why the race for attorney general should be watched closely by progressives and queer Kansans. The campaign between Kline and Democrat Paul Morrison, in many ways, is a surrogate battle between the Religious Right and the moderate heart of Kansas.

29.jpgAnonymous said…

AG Kline met at the McClouth, Ks. Nazarene church more than two months ago after services at a “reception” and my investigation ran into a stonewall from the participants. I only learned about the meeting after the fact and called, visited with church officials who were quite pleasant in not discussing what Kline said. I find it very interesting that apparently he has taken this as a strategic fundraising tool. The participants wouldn’t discuss Kline’s appearance only to confirm that he was there and “everybody had a great time.”

This was from the on-duty church secretary who said no one to her knowledge tape recorded the event.

Once dissidents and progressives in Kansas start treating this kind of GOP / Church(s) collusion as a political conspiracy against women who want to control their bodies, or homosexuals who want to excercise full civil rights, or poor who want human rights, nothing will be done to effectively stop them.

While the force of the GOP/Church(s) alliance is diminishing around the state, it is a sleeping giant.

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE….

(more…)
