Top-level Torture

It turned Abu Ghraib’s hooded, leashed, and naked “detainees” from an aberration that shamed America into official policy. No longer can the administration claim that only “a few” low-hanging “bad apples” are guilty: the president and his advisers are the biggest of those apples.

This is a fantastic message...I agree...

On May 30th, 2008 -
Following Message Directed to writer Chaplain Steve:

I believe that in 2012 we will see something interesting...people will look back to Ron Paul's writings...his latest book, etc...and I do smell a form of "Death" in 2-3 years to the NeoCONS!

This same Carl Bruining recently at a local Colorado GOP Woman's function was told to sit down, shut up or he would be escorted out the restaurant doors....since there was a pro-McCain supporter speaking about this turkey...their motto is never challenge anyone.

The one that told Carl this was the president of this Woman's group...

A Fellow Ron Paul Supporter wrote about this in a local newspaper...

"Dear Editor,I was invited to a Longmont Republican Women's breakfast at Terroir's recently, where Mary Daubman, from John McCain's campaign, was the keynote speaker. I don't support John McCain, but I assumed I'd be welcome, since I figured they wouldn't be just "singing to the choir", as there are still a lot of undecideds.

The president introduced different individuals attending and allowed them to speak. But when she acknowledged Carl Bruning, a spokesman from the Ron Paul campaign, the introduction was rushed, and when he started to speak like the others had been invited to do, she firmly told him to "No! Sit down!" She sounded like an elementary teacher addressing a problem child.

After my initial shock, I tuned in to the speaker and felt like I was being read a bedtime story, about feats of some magnificent hero. But I know from research that there was a lot more she was not telling. I wanted to ask, "Can anyone give me a candidate that is genuine, that doesn't double-talk, and that respects our Constitution without apology?" But before I was able, Carl Bruning respectfully raised his hand. After being ignored, his friend raised his own hand, and when chosen, turned his opportunity over for Carl to speak. When Carl spoke about his disappointment in the manner Ron Paul's representatives are being treat ed by the Republican Party, he was told again to "Sit down, that is enough!" and even threatened with removal.

What is going on in this Party? And why aren't the people at this meeting thinking for themselves? I would challenge every person there that witnessed such abominable behaviour to do better research on the candidates. To seek a candidate who doesn't endorse such tactics, and to read the Constitution to find out what we're losing at an alarming rate! We don't want a candidate that says what we want to hear, only to change it for another audience. Check out what John McCain is currently saying. What kind of Republican are we voting for; as you see, there are now two kinds! "

Meantime...keep studing the Constitution, get ahold of "The Federalist Papers, and Anti-Federalist Papers"....don't stop educating others about freedom...we now have the equipment...let's use them!

Sincerely,
Charlesn of Northern Colorado and a Ron Paul Supporter!

Racism and the John Birch Society... Absurdities Never End!

The JBS is not racist! Not then. Not now. Anyone who knows its history knows that blacks and Jews were both members in the 60s when the JBS got popular and are so even today. And as someone who is a member, worked for the Society, and is black, I resent the continual propaganda put against a patriot group that is trying to save this country.

Hawaii Republican Convention Was Lowest Point in Party's Recent History

Hawaii ReporterFreedom to Report Real News
Hawaii Republican Convention Was Lowest Point in Party's Recent History

By Daniel Brackins, 5/19/2008 6:18:13 AM

This weekend’s state convention was possibly the lowest point of the Hawaii Republican Party. I have attended many conventions in the past but this was the first time I have ever witnessed such large scales of impropriety and malfeasance on the part of the party leadership. While the party leaders continued to espouse “unity” throughout the convention weekend, there was none to be found.

It was also the first time I have seen delegates weep in regards to the conduct of the party leadership. Many of these delegates were there to have a wonderful time and enjoy the convention process. The guerilla tactics used by the McCain campaign and the GOP leadership represent reprehensible behavior.

Among the tactics employed were blocking the microphone from speakers, changing rules to allow a predetermined McCain slate to be simply dropped into the ballot box, and not allowing Ron Paul observers to watch the actual tally being entered into the computer. The actual tally of votes has also been deemed secret, and will not be released to the public. The 2006 platform was also readopted without any debate being allowed on the subject. This is a slap in the face of all the platform committee members who volunteered much of their time to work on the 2008 platform.

The pinnacle of unethical behavior was the revelation of a confidential script that was used by the McCain campaign in conjunction with party leadership to influence the outcome of the convention. After reviewing a copy of this script, I was appalled that the entire event was scripted. The script even included elected representatives such as Gene Ward.

Another appalling fact was that the chair, Sam Aiona, also had his rulings scripted. The chair is supposed to be fair during the proceedings, but this demonstrates that he was not. All the delegates in attendance witnessed a staged act of which the outcome was already predetermined. This was a waste of money and cost honest delegates a great deal of money, especially those who flew in from neighboring islands.

After the convention, several delegates apologized to the Ron Paul delegation for what had just occurred during the proceedings. This shows that the GOP leadership only further divided the Hawaii Republican Party. It also demonstrates that many honest Republicans believe that the Ron Paul supporters were not the “extremists” the GOP leadership and McCain camp claimed. The Ron Paul campaign simply wanted a fair election process.

The outcome of this convention clearly demonstrates that a change in party leadership must take place at the next convention in 2009. We cannot allow these types of acts to continue within our local party. It has already been shown by many honest conservative Republicans that the Hawaii GOP has failed to market itself to the state in order to defeat the Democratic majority. One such group is the Reform Republican Victory Caucus (RRVC) that has been recently established.

The RRVC has asked me to co-chair their committee and I have accepted. As such I am withdrawing as the Republican candidate for Congressional District 1. The party leadership has refused to support candidates such as myself for elected office, and has done them a great injustice in their failure to create a strong Republican message. My time and the money of my supporters will be better spent to reform the current party. I will make it my personal goal to affect such change.

We must change party leadership before we can run successful candidates for elected office. Beginning a local political campaign five months before November without a Republican message will only fail to elect members of our party. A strong GOP message must be delivered in advance, before candidates run for office. The official Hawaii GOP Web site doesn’t even list the principles that our party believes in. I have seen high school clubs advertise better than our party. Because of this I predict that the GOP will suffer serious losses during the November elections.

I challenge all members of the Hawaii Republican Party to take a principled stance so that we may avoid future impropriety such as those that occurred at the state convention. We must stand together to elect party leaders with such principles that will work to create a strong message that will be delivered to the citizens of Hawaii.

Illegal Immigration Crisis, NAU, and NAFTA

The McCain-Kennedy-Bush amnesty was defeated in the Senate in June 2007.

For all members to read...Extreme bigotry from GOP at a Sat meeting!


Hello all,

Here is a copy of a statement from one of our members about what happened at a local GOP breakfast this past Saturday. This is one more reason that all of us MUST attend every GOP function happening in Colorado, so that we have documented proof of what is being said about Ron Paul Republicans, and ALSO, so we can show our strength in being active in the CO GOP arena!

This letter will shock you, and make you ANGRY!!!

If you would like to post this on other MUG's or blogs, feel free. The more that know about how the CO GOP is trying to destroy the Republican Party...the better! Shame on them for plotting against fellow Republicans instead of trying to unite us and focus all of this energy towards the Democrats!!! Send this to everyone you know, locally and nationally!

Also, if any of you know of anyone in the MSM...see if they would like to see that it's not just the Dem's fighting it out. They should look into what is happening in the GOP!

Someone contacted me after they found out about this, and is writing up a counter action to what we should do to save our Republican Party, the best tool around! Stay tuned!

Here ya go! Stay calm, if you can! -

Hello,

On Saturday morning, May 10, 2008, I attended the District 1 Annual
meeting of the Colorado Federation of Republican Women. Unbeknownst to me, the 2-hour meeting would end up being an atrocious display of anti-Republican behavior.

In this letter, I will give the details from the meeting that were
repugnant. Before I begin, I feel compelled to state that I could not
believe I was in the presence of Liberty-loving people who stood by and were involved in this complicity. As the Republican National Committee Party Rules state (in the first paragraph), "BE IT RESOLVED, That the Republican Party is the party of the open door. Ours is the party of liberty, the party of equality of opportunity for all and favoritism for none."

The headlining speaker was Michael Eddy from the McCain campaign. I knew something was fishy about this person, as the card attached to each of the 30-some roses he had delivered to the meeting on behalf of the McCain campaign had, on one side, a personal endorsement to support him as a delegate to the State or CD Assembly/Convention.

Mike spent the last quarter of his speech discussing his knowledge about the "large contingency" of Ron Paul supporters in Colorado. He said he was fine with electing people who were Romney supporters to be National delegates, but not Ron Paul supporters. He said delegates should be "loyal" Republicans and Ron Paul supporters are not. He said we should not elect people as delegates who will get to the National Convention and "light their hair on fire". He said Ron Paul supporters would be a disgrace to the Republican Party.

He went on to state that they know that there are about 50 delegates for Ron Paul who will be at the CD 1 Assembly. He brought up what occurred with another state's convention and said that the National organization (RNC) is working closely with the remaining states' organizations to ensure Ron Paul delegates do not get elected. He said the National Committee will be having a conference call with the Colorado State Republican Party Committee on Monday (5/12) to discuss this. He further explained that they would accomplish this by changing the Rules prior to the convention and additionally coming up with their own slate.

After Mike spoke, other members in attendance echoed his inflammatory statements about Ron Paul supporters. Ruth Dolan, president, spoke in agreement with Mike Eddy's statements, as well as other officers. One officer warned everyone to be very "prudent" because there are people among us whom are "wolves in sheep's clothing".

I recognized other Ron Paul supporters in the room, so I know I was not the only one who left the meeting in complete disgust that Republicans could conspire against other Republicans in such a way. This is energy that should be directed towards Democrats, not fellow Republicans!

-- Ron Paul supporter incensed by CFRW District 1 Speaker and Officers

Hilly or Obama. Who makes the better loser?

When you control who the "favored" candidate of the Republicans shall be, then is it not also reasonable to assume that the theater taking place over in the Dems corner is as phony as a match between two big time wrestlers? Is the tag team of Hilly and Barrack throwing the match to McCain?
