I am extremely disappointed in the state of the Republican party. As the Republican candidate for California State Controller, it is difficult for me to make an argument on why people should vote Republican. I do not like the argument that the Democrats have gone so far off the deep-end that we have no other choice. I don’t like binary choices or picking the lesser of two evils. If I am going to be a standard-bearer for the Republican party in California, then give me a reason to be proud of my own party.
It is not easy being a Republican in California. Many times the R next to my name is more of a liability than a benefit, and it’s not because of what the Republican party stands for. It’s because many Republicans don’t believe in the principles of limited government, local control, economic freedom, and fiscal responsibility. People don’t like liars and hypocrites and if people can’t trust us, why should they vote for us?
You ask us to vote for you to limit the government, cut spending, and lower the deficit, and once we give you power, you betray us and pass one of the worst spending bills in Congressional history ($1.3 trillion omnibus bill). You demonize Obama’s trillion dollar deficits but once in power, you continue with the reckless irresponsible spending.
If the party wants to spend money like a drunken sailor (no offense to drunken sailors), then they should just come out and say conservatives are no longer welcome in this party. If that is the case, then I call upon the leadership of the GOP to call me and tell me to my face that I’m no longer welcome in the party. As conservative commentatory Steve Deace always says, “Don’t pee on me and tell me that it’s raining,”
As I have always stated, I’m a Conservative that happens to be a Republican, not a Republican that happens to be a Conservative. I’m a conservative because I seek to conserve that which history has proven to be optimal and economic policies grounded in reality, not wishful thinking.
There is not one example in history that overbearing centralized government, that recklessly spends, destroys the purchasing power of currency by printing money and accumulating debt has prospered in the long-run. Just like so many powerful empires and nations before us, they believed that they would never collapse, so do we in our pride and arrogance believe we can go down the same road and buck history and not become just another footnote in history.
We cannot continue down this path forever and I do not believe we are past the point-of-no-return, but if we do not change course soon we will become another footnote in history.
If you love this country as I do, then do the patriotic thing and stop destroying this country with your irresponsible spending. Learn from the mistakes of the past and realize that these policies might have short-term benefits but in the long-run what you are actually voting for is a slow and painful death by suicide, inflicted by you, those that we entrusted to protect us.
Therefore, I call on my own party to do what is right and once again embrace the principles our party was founded upon. Let us be the leaders the people can trust, let us be the leaders that would rather lose an election but in the end, save America from the looming disaster coming towards us. I beg you, become that which you once were.
