A failing Leadership in the GOP

 

By Oscar Y. Harward

(Y)our GOP, as an organization, has serious problems with their leadership. The Washington based RNC, Capitol Hill GOP leaders, and others have their own Political Action Committees (PAC). 

 

You will find the Republican National Committee (RNC), Republican National Congressional Committee (RNCC), the National Republican Senatorial Committee (RNSC), Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House, John Boehner, and others are all requesting, calling, writing, and begging, etc. for Republican Party dollars.

 

As American individuals and others send GOP dollars in, the monies are dispersed as they choose; based only on the Republican Party candidates registration.  PAC leaders direct this money in support of their own favorite candidates; not as to whether they support the Republican Party and/or the GOP Platform. The only requirement is that the candidate support the leadership, regardless of how moderate of even liberal their votes represent.

 

All candidates for reelection and all new candidates for election should be required to show their support on all ‘divided’ issues of 80%. 

 

Divided issues should be rated on whether the issue is opposing opinions between Conservative Republicans v. Liberal Democrats.  With that, the GOP will see a more secure group of legislators on Capitol Hill.

 

When Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) was up for reelection in 2006, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (RNSC) sent some $3 Million into his campaign for his campaign.  The record will show that on ‘divided’ issues,

 

Sen. Chafee voted with Democrat Party Liberals some 90% of the time compared to Conservative Republicans some 10% on ‘divided’ issues.  That was a wasted $3 Million dollar donation of ‘precious’ GOP money on Platform issues.

 

You can take the most ‘liberal’ voting Republican record on Capitol Hill and see these GOP organizations disperse GOP monies to their campaigns; while at the same time, reject candidates who can prove their support of the GOP Platform on the issues.
