REPUBLICANS DESERVE BETTER - We All Do...

I am a Compassionate Conservative Republican.

However I am not a rich white man.

Republicans need to learn to crystallize and convey information correctly and honestly, especially when they are right about something.

Unfortunately some of the things that come from the mouths of these elite public figures, leave a thoughtful citizenry baffled and afraid.

These are my favorites:

• “Legitimate rape rarely causes pregnancy.”

• “Slavery was a blessing in disguise for the African American.”

• ''Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.''

• "Forty years ago, the United States Supreme Court sanctioned abortion on demand. And we wonder why our culture sees school shootings so often."

• "My father had a ranch. We used to hire 50 to 60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes."

• "If a woman has a right to an abortion, why shouldn't a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman?"

• “If we made Mexican food illegal, illegal aliens wouldn't be able to eat in the United States and all illegal border crossings would stop."

• "If the slaves were never freed, where would Obama be today? Certainly not in the White House, not in the capacity he's in."

• "There is no place for gays or atheists in my America. None. Our Constitution makes that clear."

• "I am the senator. You are the citizen. You need to be quiet."

• "Americans have forgotten that God created this nation and that He wrote the Constitution, that it's based on biblical principles."

• "I don't think all of the suffering of African Americans during the period of slavery can ever equate to what's been done to White conservative Americans in the past eight years of Obama's presidency."

• "I understand what it’s like to deal with illegal aliens.... people forget that up here in Alaska we have all sorts of Eskimos and other foreigners.”

• "The drought is God punishing California. Movies that mock Him, gay parades, pot smoking and filthy people. Don't be surprised when an earthquake finishes them off. It's all part of God's plan."

• "Rape is just another method of conception."

• "We have a right to disagree with facts."

• "The sun needs to keep people warm, not be wasted on solar power. This is why we have so many elderly dying every winter."

• "Wind is a finite resource and harnessing it would slow the wind down which would cause the temperature to go up."

There isn’t much to be said. How could our leaders be this misinformed? Does it suggest to you a pattern of uninformed (read ‘stupid’) leadership?

When they are not being this dim-witted, they are being manipulative or evasive or self-serving or arrogant or condescending or narrow-minded or just plain insensitive. I almost left out dishonest…

The reason that the Democratic party generally has more success than Republicanism does, is because the Democratic platform tends to care more about humanity, while Republicans tend to stand for capitalism at the expense of humanity.

Democrats would also appear to have a better handle on reality and truth.

I do not believe that either political viewpoint is correct all the time about everything.

If we simply side with the Left or the Right or the Conservative Right or the Center or the Extreme Left, only, then we are not thinking through the issues, and we are not thinking about others. Our main concern should be others, and what would be the best choices - for our nation.

Frankly Republicans are right about a majority of things they believe, but their leadership skills are severely lacking, prompted by greed and ignorance on a massive scale.

We need to find a Republican leader that can do for the party what you wanted from Donald Trump, without giving up the integrity of our nation.

Then we need human beings with heart, intellect, and integrity, to populate party leadership.
