We all knew this day would come.
The Ohio Tea Party PAC announced their endorsement of Robert Owens last week, an Attorney General candidate running on the Constitution Party line. Thus, bypassing the Republican, Mike Dewine, in the process. Even though the former Senator is running on a platform of repealing the ObamaCare law via a lawsuit from his office in conjunction with other State Attorney Generals.
So what is the reason for supporting Owens over DeWine? Apparently, the former Senator is not a "friend of personal liberty and limited government". Which is news to me, considering his 80% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union, and Ronald Reagan's personal standard that an eighty percent friend, is not a twenty percent traitor.
On the other hand, Owens was a failed Independent candidate for the Attorney General office in 2008, when a special election was held to replace the former Attorney General after he resigned. Mr.Owens is also a member, and serves on the national council of The John Birch Society, which is widely discredited as a conspiracy theory pumping organization.
Instead of supporting the Republican candidate to replace a corrupt Democrat Attorney General, the Ohio Tea Party has decided to endorse a Constitution Party candidate, who has no chance of winning, but every chance of securing a full term for the corrupt Democrat Attorney General.....
The Ohio Tea Party just stabbed sanity in the back.
So I take it you all aren't in favor of any third party candidates running for political office at all? Aren't you tired of the same old same old with the leftist Democrats and the soft leftist RINOs we have running for elected office?
ReplyDeleteIf I think a third party candidate fits my criteria for elected office better than the other candidates, why shouldn't I cast my vote for them. At least I could sleep at night. If I voted for the "lesser of two evils" as a lot of people say to do, then I'd feel like I threw my vote away.
I'm just sayin'...Mike
