Leading the way Right
By Peter Andrew
We need Conservative American Sarah Palin to get involved in the U.S. Senate Race in Kentucky. Conservative American Bill Johnson is seeking the GOP nomination and needs a boost. He needs the kind of boost former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin can bring.
Right now the only publicity Johnson is getting is from his own, grass-roots level hard work. Two other names seeking the GOP nomination for the senate seat in Kentucky are getting most of the attention. They are Rand Paul (son of former Presidential candidate Ron Paul who suggested we get out of Iraq and Afghanistan immediately and come home with a loss) and RNC favored Trey Grayson. Mitch McConnell, senate minority leader also from Kentucky, is supporting Grayson. Get this though, lately Grayson has been distancing himself from McConnell! Grayson is a former democrat and was a Bill Clinton delegate to the national convention.
Conservative American Bill Johnson is the REAL conservative in this race. Lately, we’ve seen many Rino’s and plain ordinary republicans suddenly claiming to be conservative. It goes all the way up in the RNC. Michael Steele is, at best, Conservative-Lite though he maintains he’s a conservative. Mike Huckabee has many people snowed into thinking he’s conservative, though his governing record proves this isn’t the case. The GOP is betraying conservatives with hand-picked rino’s as in the NY 23 congressional race. Palin stood up for Doug Hoffman and he still has a shot at winning.
It’s time for Palin to stand up for Bill Johnson. He needs the support of Sarah-PAC too.
We’ll talk about his opponents in a moment. First, let’s look at Conservative American Bill Johnson on the issues…
2nd Amendment – As an active gun owner and NRA member, I support gun rights. My son is a big fan of the 2nd amendment! We can often be found at the Todd county gun range shooting our AR15, M1 Carbine, .22 rifles, .22-250 rifle, shotgun, or perhaps the 1911 Springfield .45 pistol.
Energy – I support all forms of coal removal including mountain top removal and development. I advocate building additional refineries to process oil, building nuclear power plants in areas not abundant in coal, and drilling for oil the United States and off the coast. I am against cap and trade as well as all new taxes on energy.
Military – I believe in peace through strength. I support preemptive action when our National Interests are at stake. I support maintaining our forward deployed military bases. I favor increased troop levels in Afghanistan and keeping the terrorists at Guantanamo Bay.
Economy – I am against government bailouts of corporations. I do not support a federal stimulus package based on government spending. Instead, I support cutting taxes for corporations and individuals to generate real economic growth. I believe in supply side economics.
Healthcare – I do not support a public option. I support free market based solutions like good faith estimates, tort reform, and insurance available across state lines. I also support medical savings accounts and making medical expense tax deductable.
Israel – I support continued U.S. funding for Israel. I do not believe in a two state solution. I support the Biblical boundaries for Israel and their right to defend their nation against attack.
Marriage – I support a federal marriage amendment to establish marriage as between one man and one woman.
Defending Life – I support a federal personhood amendment to ensure constitutional rights for the unborn. I believe the primary sworn duty in office is to fulfill the stated purpose of our Constitution, which is “to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
Legalization of Drugs – I do not support legalization of marijuana or narcotics at the state level. Drugs useful for medical treatment should follow FDA guidelines.
Taxes – I support a fair tax (consumption based tax) and elimination of the IRS. I also support immediate reduction in the current marginal tax rates for corporations and individuals.
Term Limits – I support a 12-year term limit amendment for Senators and Congressman. I have personally committed to serving only 12 years regardless of passage of an amendment.
Trade – I support fair trade between nations. International companies wanting to sell products into the American marketplace should compete on a level playing field with American based companies.
Illegal Immigration – I am opposed to sanctuary cities and amnesty programs. We should immediately send illegal immigrates back to their country and prosecute companies that knowingly use illegal workers.
Education – I support elimination of the Department of Education and moving all decisions related to education to the States. I support school vouchers and home schooling.
Farm Subsidies – I am generally opposed to government subsidies. However, I do support a safety net for our small family farms when commodity prices fall below a threshold needed to sustain the farm.
Aviation User Fees – I am opposed to aviation user fees and the privatizing the national air traffic control system.
It’s clear to see Bill Johnson is The Real Kentucky Conservative So, this is our open letter to Sarah Palin…please endorse Bill Johnson. Please give him SarahPAC support and please encourage your supporters to help Bill Johnson win.
Now, let’s look at the other two candidates. Some are questioning if Trey Grayson is a “real” conservative. He’s been said to be “dancing” to the right. PageOne Kentucky says Grayson is pretending to be conservative. Liberty Maven adds this…
“Kentucky Republicans should be asking themselves if they want another Lindsey Graham who compromises and capitulates to the Left in the name of big government bipartisanship or if they’d like a true conservative Senator who will fight for low taxes and free markets? It’s still quite early but judging from recent comments it seems Trey Grayson is sounding more and more like Graham and Rand Paul is sounding more and more like a Republican.”
Conservative Alan Keyes says candidate Rand Paul has money and is running as a Conservative, “But like his father, he rejects Ronald Reagan’s ‘Peace through strength’ acceptance of America’s leadership for freedom in the world. Like his father, he echoes Barack Obama’s illogical willingness to pretend that America is to blame for the hateful attacks directed against us by Middle East terrorists. Like his father, he seeks the support of those who understand that the Constitution cannot survive unless its foundation of respect for unalienable rights is preserved. But, again like his father, he asserts that it can somehow be just and lawful for State governments to violate the unalienable rights of human offspring in the womb or the research laboratory. It’s only wrong when the Federal government does so.”
And the Wall Street Journal isn’t sure internet fame can take Rand Paul to a victory: “Like his father who became an Internet phenomenon during his presidential run, Rand Paul also seems to be somewhat of an Internet sensation. But whether he can actually win is an open question. The Kentucky race is featured in a Wall Street Journal story today looking at efforts by underdog Republicans to catch the wave of anti-establishment fervor in their party.”
Neither Rand nor Grayson sound like great candidates. Neither of them provide an answer for true Conservative Americans looking to make a difference in Washington. Rand and Grayson don’t provide the answer for Tea Partier’s looking to take back our government.
Paul and Grayson have had some spats lately too, as reported by the Miami Herald. These two enjoy bickering…sounds like the same old politics as usual to us. Paul supporters even have a site up called “TraitorTrey.”
Conservative Americans need your help in this race, Sarah. Kentucky voters need your help. Bill Johnson needs your support.
