Quote by: PatrickHenry GBA, thanks for responding to my challenge. At least one Republican member is willing to engage in dialog about their Party when it is announced in a bluff and derogatory manner by a "libertarian." To clarify, I am not a Libertarian Party member, but I do find common ground with their political program in certain areas. The party I actually prefer is the Constitution Party, but I don't carry a card of theirs either and disagree on certain points of their program as well. But this thread isn't about me and my preferences. It was a rank challenge to justify how "principles" of the Republican Party are applied where the rubber meets the road, to use a cliche.
I think that the Republican Party may have had some principles in the days of Dwight Eisenhower, perhaps in the days of Richard Nixon, even some in the term of Ronald Reagan. Each of those Republican presidents had significant failures during their administrations, but the Party may have had adherence to some principles in those bygone times.
Is this played out by the huge corporate donations to the campaign of GW Bush by criminal conspiracies like Enron, that defrauded the citizens of California of billions?
Then why are there no elected black Republicans in Congress? Why does the Party have trouble attracting Black leaders?
I have plenty more ammunition for any courageous Republicans willing to brave the fusillade. Or will you all hunker in your bunkers and hope that mean PatrickHenry will go away? |
So where are the black leaders in the Democratic party, there are plenty of black Republicans, and we had a Black republican in congress who was in our leadership, he resigned, and after the civil war the Republicans put the first blacks into congress.
