GOP: Vass ‘does not qualify as Republican’

In an unprecedented move, the Hall GOP has publicly denounced a candidate as not qualifying as a Republican.  Republicans In Name Only (“RINOs”) are the biggest threat to our party today.  It is no longer enough that an elected official simply call themselves a “Republican,” but they must also actually BE a Republican.  In Hall County the GOP Executive Committee (and the voters) will decide who is a real Republican.  Past performance, voting history, campaign supporters, and those you support are factors used to determine whether someone is a Republican.  I hope the move the unanimous vote of the Executive Committee took is one we will not have to take again.

Others who have changed parties in the past, like Congressman Nathan Deal and State Representative Carl Rogers embody the principles of the Republican Party in their actions.    They have proven themselves to be true Republicans and great Americans.  Others, like soon-to-be-former-Clerk Dwight Wood, have not passed muster.  It is the responsibility of the local Republican Party to police its ranks and to ensure that only quality conservative Republican Candidates get to use our party brand.  You simply can’t vote for Hillary or Obama and fit that description.

Vote on July 15, 2008 for either Jennifer Gibbs or Charles Baker for Clerk of Court.

I tried to make changes to our by-laws to limit RINOs from qualifying for elections under our rules at the last County Convention.  Joe Cwik tried before me as well.  I will continue to pursue this most important issue.  We can’t allow our Republican “brand” to be watered down by those who do not support our positions.  I’m fond of saying that our tent is big enough for just about everyone to come in, but you have to order off of our menu.  Voting for Hillary, Obama, or Edwards is not on our menu.  Donations to or from the Georgia Democratic Party are not on our menu.  Donations to or from Mark Taylor (the former “big guy”) are not on our menu.  As the Chinese philosopher/warlord-advisor Sun Tzu says, the friend of my enemy is my enemy.
