Huntsman meeting canceled

by GOP in Michigan county

 

by Lisa Riley Roche

 

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- A Michigan GOP organization canceled an appearance by Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. this weekend, apparently because of his support for civil unions.

The decision by the Kent County Republican Party drew praise from the head of a conservative pro-family group in Michigan critical of what he called Huntsman's "homosexual agenda."

The new chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, Ron Weiser, stepped in Tuesday. Now Huntsman will appear at a state party fundraiser during his two-day swing through the state.

"The state party chair called the governor to apologize and said the state is excited to have the governor coming and looks forward to seeing him this weekend," Huntsman spokeswoman Lisa Roskelley said.

Michigan GOP spokeswoman Jennifer Hoff said the conversation between Huntsman and the party chairman was private.

She said in a statement, "Michigan Republicans are excited to host Gov. Jon M. Huntsman Jr. (R-Utah) and listen to his ideas on education reform. Gov. Huntsman has made Republican solutions on job growth a reality — something Michigan Democrats have failed to do."

Huntsman, who is widely seen as testing the waters for a 2012 bid for the GOP presidential nomination, will appear before four or five Republican groups in Michigan on Friday and Saturday, Roskelley said.

She said the appearances are responses to invitations that were accepted because the governor is already attending a Chinese-language conference in Chicago on Friday. Huntsman, who has pledged he will not seek a third term as governor, has yet to publicly acknowledge his interest in the White House.

He found out a few days ago that the Kent County GOP group had disinvited him from a Saturday morning reception. "I don't know what he was told in terms of it being canceled," Roskelley said.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Kent County Chairwoman Joanne Voorhees sent an e-mail saying that was done "after conducting further research on the governor and his change in position on issues" without specifying gay rights.

The e-mail reportedly went on to say "voters want and expect us to stand on principle and return to our roots … unfortunately, by holding an event with Governor Huntsman, we would be doing the exact opposite."

Betty Church, a volunteer at the Kent County GOP offices in Grand Rapids, told the Deseret News no one was available Tuesday to comment.

Gary Glenn, head of the Campaign for Michigan Families, said in an e-mail release that Kent County's "principled stand sends a strong message nationwide that grass-roots conservatives will not embrace liberals who want to abandon the GOP platform's commitment to traditional family values in favor of promoting homosexual activists' incremental assault on religious freedom, marriage and the family."

Senator Graham and Snow are both RINOs

 

Two Republicans blame conservatives

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21802.html

By LISA LERER | 4/28/09 3:20 PM EDT

...Specter switched parties Tuesday after a recent poll showed him badly losing a Pennsylvania Republican primary next year to Club for Growth founder Pat Toomey. Toomey's staunchly fiscally conservative political action committee backs only those Republicans who support a low-tax, limited-government agenda and comes down hard on those who break with party orthodoxy.

"I don't want to be a member of the Club for Growth," said Graham. "I want to be a member of a vibrant national Republican party that can attract people from all corners of the country — and we can govern the country from a center-right perspective."

"As Republicans, we got a problem," he said.

The internal criticism came less than an hour before Specter walked into the Republicans' weekly Senate luncheon, where members discuss strategy, policy and other key items on the party agenda.

Snowe criticized party leadership for failing to change its tone after Republicans lost six Senate seats in the 2006 election.

"I happened to win with 74 percent of the vote in a blue-collar state, but no one asked me, 'How did you do it?'" she said. "Seems to me that would have been the first question that would have come from the Republican Party to find out so we could avoid further losses."

"Ultimately, we're heading to having the smallest political tent in history, the way things are unfolding," Snowe said.

my comment:

 

Yup, the RINOs are blowing their horns.  The major reason Republicans are so dismissed of late is for won, the disenfranchisement that happened when the GOP had full power but for the Senate filibuster.  All that happened was pork.  It was as if the shadow behind the two parties was in shock and did not know what to do.  The shadow does not want the platform and principles that the GOP is supposed to stand for, so what did the leadership do, fall flat on their face.

The GOP needs to change, but not towards the left as we have been doing that and now we are at the threshold of communism.  Enough!  There are many who did not vote for the Republicans because the GOP has been under the total control of the Neoconservative corporates.  Ask yourself how it is that a conservative leader would have allowed the continued tax structure, especially when in power, to continue taking away prosperity from the blue collar conservatives and thus making their 1% of the wealthy richer in their foreign import dance? 

 

The GOP needs to move to true conservative by first, being Federalist, to mean going by the Constitution and to challenge all Laws and court precedence that has despotized the Constitution and two, change the tax structure from the Production tax we have today which is in essence a excise tax on domestic production and replace it with a consumption tax which will equally distribute it to all goods imported or not.  HR 25 is already to go and it will do one thing that all this stupid spending has not done, create jobs immediately.

Senator Graham, you have been culled out as a RINO, Senator. Snow, you are a liberal making you a RINO also.  We are all done with big government compromisers.  Give us liberty through principled governing or we get what we are about to have.  The grassroots are not tea partying to be like you politicians, they have no care for their egos to be stroked.  Most would prefer to spend time with their families, but they know that if they do not stand now, their children and grandchildren will not be free.  So as someone has said about compromise, Never again!  What would gain to just get along if it would result in the same loss as if we stuck to principles and lost.  Better to be the 'Man from LaMOncha' then the sap from WashingtonDC.

Mike(Huckabee , George Soros is a very partisan and controversial figure that is for sure.

Some people support candidates, political parties and causes because they want to do what is right. Other people see financial advantages and this motivates them.

Even though it would be enticing for a political enemy of George Soros to attribute his support for Democrats to a desire to see the economy tank – and so he could profit from economic chaos - it does appear that he donated 6 billion to various causes including to the needy in Africa.

With the little I know of him now, I am not going to pin a red tail on this donkey.

Speaking of speaking for causes. Al Gore in the year 2000 had a net worth of around $1-2 million. Now, with all his causes and his work to save the earth his worth is "well over $100 million."
http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/117/features-gore.html

Ed Markey has teamed up with Congressman Henry Waxman the chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee to craft a new clean energy bill.

Fine, but is Henry Waxman who is introducing legislation on this matter ... really conversant with the science he is claiming to uphold?

He tells Tavis Smiley, (video too at this link)
http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/200904/20090413_waxman.html#
"the overwhelming consensus of all the leading scientists that have looked at this issue is there is a warming of the planet, it's manmade, caused by our burning of carbon fuels, and it's happening faster than anybody ever thought it would happen.
We're seeing the reality of a lot of the North Pole starting to evaporate, and we could get to a tipping point. Because if it evaporates to a certain point - they have lanes now where ships can go that couldn't ever sail through before. And if it gets to a point where it evaporates too much, there's a lot of tundra that's being held down by that ice cap."

Now, just so that you see I am not here just to make fun of Congressman's Waxman's misuse of a few basic scientific terms (he might have had in mind the word "melting". The science behind the alarmism is becoming increasingly questioned.

Just today another fear regarding accelerating methane emissions was found wanting and scientists are now expected to breathe a little easier.

"The finding is expected to come as a relief to scientists and climate watchers concerned that huge accelerations of global warming might have been touched off by methane melts in the past and could happen again now as the planet warms."

http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/general/04-09Wetlands.asp

Also, more and more scientists and journalists are looking at the inactivity of the sun and wondering if they underestimated the impact of the highly active on the strong warming in the last century they now see the sun growing weaker and less energetic. They remember the maunder minimum (less energetic sun) coincided with "the little ice-age".

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-missing-sunspots-is-this-the-big-chill-1674630.html

"'This is the quietest Sun we've seen in almost a century,' says NASA solar scientist David Hathaway. But this is not just a scientific curiosity. It could affect everyone on Earth and force what for many is the unthinkable: a reappraisal of the science behind recent global warming.

Our Sun is the primary force of the Earth's climate system, driving atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns. It lies behind every aspect of the Earth's climate and is, of course, a key component of the greenhouse effect. But there is another factor to be considered. When the Sun has gone quiet like this before, it coincided with the earth cooling slightly and there is speculation that a similar thing could happen now. If so, it could alter all our predictions of climate change, and show that our understanding of climate change might not be anywhere near as good as we thought."

I could go on to share that was a period of time earlier in the 1900's that the Artic lost a lot of ice and some people were losing their nerve about the melting ice. Even the Vikings once lived happily in Greenland during a warm spell.

People should keep in mind that GE (which owns a lot of liberal and influential media outlets) hopes to get lots of money from "clean wind power". So the NBC networks promote green which serves the financial interests of GE. "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." Who is helped when a corporation makes money off the backs of the poor – in a misguided attempt to fix a climate problem that doesn't exist?

This is controversial but if NBC doesn't look into scientifically reputable blogs like
http://wattsupwiththat.com/ they shouldn't feel so smug and confident while they only listen to and give one side of the story.
