Diane Sori´s Shallow Christie Critique

Dear Diane and the rest of the Tea Partiers,

You guys have had your fun, destroying the GOP and causing our country to shift leftward. I only ask one thing:

Please write about policy positions when you are critiquing the RINOs. You are not going to want to do this because you will find out that a) your favorite Tea Party governors are not more conservative than the "RINOs" and b) 90% of the Tea Party is made of non-governors, or what I like to refer to as Conservatives in Mouth Only, the loud mouths who talk a big game because they know they will never be put in the game.

Let me give you an example. You recently wrote about the elections where you referred to Chris Christie as a RINO six times. Not mentioned in your article was anything of substance that might suggest that Chris Christie is moderate.

And, no, working with the President days before the election when your state has been destroyed by a giant hurricane does not make you a RINO. It makes you somebody who cares about your job and the people your serve. Furthermore, this is not a policy position. If you are going to critique Christie, then please do research on the actual policy positions he has taken and then compare them to the "conservative" governors and then tell me who is moderate. You probably won´t do that because that requires hard work. It is much easier to label somebody a RINO because he was seen on TV with the devil from Kenya.

By the way, those of you Romney folks that don´t like Christie, because you think you he helped Obama win -- quit acting like a bunch of children! I supported Romney for over six years. But Romney did not loose the election because of Christie, and neither is Romney the be-all, end-all of conservatism.

And, no, requesting aid for your state after a giant hurricane is also not being "liberal." As has been mentioned a million times, New Jersey gets back $.69 for every dollar it sends to Washington. Don´t you think that the governer of New Jersey has the right to demand that the taxpayers in his state get back some of their hard-earned money when they are facing a disaster like they did. That is conservative. The people of New Jersey worked for their money. They ought to be able to get it back. Unfortunately, the loud mouths in the Senate refer to it a "progressivism" in an effort to distract you from the fact that New Jersey is subsidizing the welfare in said "conservatives´" states. I wouldn´t mind if each state got back what it put in, but then how would your heros get elected if they
told their own constituents to get off the government dole. Nope, they are going to continue to lie to their own people (and to you) and tell them that the real problem is people like Chris Christie when in fact, New Jersey is literally giving its money away to the South and other red states. I long for the day when red states aren´t putting us in debt!

Forunately for the country, the Tea Party, outside of the House of Representatives, will never win nationally and therefore will never govern (and, no, you can´t govern from the HoR, have we learn that lesson yet?). Yet, conservative candidates can win national office. We have Republican governers across the nation who have managed to separate themselves from the toxic Republican and Tea Party brand. They have gone into their states, promising to work with their opposition (like adults) and to do what is best for their states. But, the Tea Party is what is preventing us from having a real conservative party that could bring conservative politices to our federal government.

Until bloggers and activists like Diane decide to think and do research, instead of just relying on a bunch of uneducated demagogues for their worldview, then the country will not have a legitimate conservative party.

It´s certainly not looking promising.
