Random Thoughts - http://www.rightmichigan.com/story/2008/11/21/235639/43

Though he lately seems to either mumble something vaguely in the affirmative or changes the subject when asked directly if he's conservative, he sure sounded different last February! When running against Glenn Clark for a spot on the coveted national convention platform committee, he said he was o.k. with including language in it that allows a woman the right to choose, or something similar. He lost the vote to Clark by almost 2 - 1.

Recently, I decided to check out his past contributions on the federal campaign finance website. What I discovered was pretty disturbing.

There's $3,100 to "pro-choice" John ("Joe") Schwartz in '04 and '05 when he was running against pro-life Tim Walberg in his primary (MI-07), $1,000 to "pro-choice" former NJ governor Christie Todd Whitman, <u>and $1,000 to PRO-CHOICE DEMOCRAT Joe Biden just over a year ago!</u> And he wants to be the Michigan GOP Chairman?

By the way, has anyone anywhere has seen any solid position papers, articles or statements on issues from Weiser? ANYONE?

Me neither, and I've gotten the impression we're not supposed to ask for them. It doesn't matter what he believes about issues. Just trust the big money guy behind the curtain. Even if he did just recently start being involved with us grassroots workers, he knows what is best for us.

Seriously, when we swallow the unity mantra and don't ask the hard questions and demand answers,  we end-up getting snookered. Do we want more candidates like these "big tent" RINOs and Democrats he's supported in the past? I know I don't! Haven't we learned that Republicans trying to be Democrats-lite don't win elections (and that includes his moderate candidate McCain).

As also mentioned on this blog, we need to keep-up with the technological and campaign times and use the heck out of it! Jack's personally maintained his "Core Principles" blog for years, as well as had a Facebook page, is on Twitter and does it all himself.

Most of all, we need hands-on, true movement conservative, consistent moral conscience and in-depth political experience now more than ever before. And Jack seems to be the guy who's proven he has all that through his writings, many statewide personal visits and votes - even when they weren't popular with some in his own party, but were correct and in keeping with the GOP platform principles.

Good old boy business as usual and back-room dealing just won't cut it anymore. And it sure seems to me like Weiser represents more of the same elitist, old-school, country club mentality we're trying to get away from.

Let's be honest, we've lost support by not acting like real Republicans and disrespecting our voter base county, state and nationwide. Let's stop that now before it's too late to get back the donors and voters who lost faith in us.
