Well, I didn't think I would make front page headlines today for wanting the Lorain County Republican Party to disassociate from national Republican figures that have backed Democrats this campaign season. As Republicans on the County Central Committee members we can disagree on whether to support or not support our own candidates - but we should always expect that Central Committee members never go out of their way to support the other team.
We should also expect as registered Republicans that we discipline and take action with Republican Leaders that have reached the upper echelons of our party and have benefitted from Republican volunteers and donors. It is a slap in the face to every Republican of the Lorain County Republican Party when our leaders and former leaders feel it is okay to throw the basketball to the other team so they can score.
Let's be clear what is happening, I am not criticizing former Governor Taft for not supporting Bernie Moreno. I am criticizing him for supporting the other team's candidate. There is a huge difference. I am not criticizing the Cheney's for not supporting Trump - but I am criticizing them for supporting the Harris Walz ticket. These are supposed Republicans that have benefitted from thousands to millions of hours of Republican volunteers helping them throughout their career and receiving millions of dollars in contributions from Republicans - only to be stabbed in the back when they have a personal disagreement with the candidate elect. We were all expected to unify under their banner no matter how much we disagreed with some of their policies - but now - they are not just sow dissension within out party - but they are actually advocating for the other side.
The resolution says that party faithful should shun any Republicans who have come out in support of Democrats this election season for a "betrayal" of Republican values.
