Thirty Two African American Republicans Running for Congress in 2010
Asian American Conservative Republican Congressional Candidate Charles Kong Djou
Today while reviewing my GOP Primary Absentee Ballot (I would prefer to be registered as an Independent) I noticed that the candidates for the Ohio GOP Central Committee are divided between gender. Why is Gender a qualification to seek any elected office?
Americans believe that Women are more qualified to be political leaders according to an August 2008 Pew Research Center Social & Demographic Trends Survey when it comes to honesty, intelligence and a handful of other character traits.
Why is it right to even ask a voter to choose any candidate based upon gender?
Does this limit the best qualified persons from serving on the Ohio GOP Central Committee?
Why is it even necessary to have an equal number of Men & Women serving on the Ohio Republican Party Central Committee?
Romney a Conservative? Romney in 2012?
Mitt Romney wins Republican Leadership Conference test vote receiving 439 votes of 1806 ballots cast. Surely we can hope for better than Mitt Romney in 2012?
Why? Is Romney a Reagan Conservative? Clearly Not.
While Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney supported 126 user fee increases, for marriage licenses, gun registrations, blindness certificates, home deed registrations, gasoline taxes, corporate trusts, non-profit corporations, sales catalogs, never a user fee that Mitt didn’t like.

Who was watching the purse strings at the Republican National Committee?
Last year the Washington Times reported that GOP Chairman Michael Steele, was presented with a resolution calling for new “checks and balances” on the Chairman’s power to dole out money.
Where is the oversight? Can Michael Steele delegate authority responsibly?
The buck apparently does not stop with Michael Steele who wasn’t even at the GOP but instead was on an airplane returning from a swanky RNC Hawaiian Winter Retreat while the nation is in a deep recession when it happened.
It would seem that without proper oversight and supervision that last years resolution calling for “checks and balances” at the GOP is long past due.
Subsequent to the 2008 Presidential Election, I wrote here and here that the Republican Party had lost its way and Conservatives must seize the opportunity and take our party back.
Unfortunately despite all of the rhetoric, assurances and promises made, Republican values which made our party great, real leadership and management remains lacking at the GOP
