Two Big endorsements from the Republican Liberty Caucus - Nevada and Oklahoma

From Eric Dondero:

The Republican Liberty Caucus met in conference call Monday night and resolved to officially endorse two high profile Republican candidates: Sharron Angle for US Senate in Nevada and Randy Brogdon for Oklahoma Governor.

Interestingly, the RLC had backed Angle in 2008 in a failed primary run for Congress against now-Congressman Dean Heller. (She lost by a very slim margin.)

RLC National Committeeman Aaron Bitterman comments:
Voters interested in supporting a candidate who will work to reduce the size of government should enthusiastically support Sharron Angle for U.S. Senate in Nevada.

The bonus is that electing Angle will rid our country of Majority Leader Harry Reid.
On Brogdon, Bitterman had this to say:

Brogdon is in a tough election with Congresswoman Mary Fallin, the establishment favorite, to win the Republican primary taking place July 27.

As a State Senator, Randy Brogdon proposed or passed …

• The Healthcare Freedom of Choice Act
• The Real ID Opt-out Bill
• The Freedom Firearm Act
• The Tenth Amendment Resolution

Brogdon was also the lead sponsor of the Stop OverSpending Initiative (TABOR) and was instrumental in supporting an initiative to protect private property rights in response to Kelo v. New London.
It should also be noted that Brogdon has had a longstanding friendship with the Republican Liberty Caucus. He's affiliated with Howie Rich's Americans for Limited Government. He's also been a guest speaker and attendee on a number of occasions at Oklahoma Libertarian Party meetings.

IMPORTANT!

From the Editor: We will have a very special announcement regarding Sharron Angle on Thursday morning. You will not want to miss this.

There is a reason Sharron Angle is such an exciting candidate. She is a RINO.

She is no ball-less and spineless Republican. She is a Republican in name only and is one of the founders of the right-wing Independence Party of Nevada. She had the guts to tell the GOP to go to Hell and form a THIRD PARTY that actually stood for something.

Like Rand Paul she is using the GOP name for the election, but neither Paul nor Angle really have anything in common with the Statist Socialist boot-lickers in the GOP.

Go Sharron.

That is a creative use of the word RINO.

Gary said...

God how I wish there were more RINOs like her.

When you read her issues web-page you can see "third party" all over. Republicans do not talk like that. Republicans live in fear that they might offend a union member or diasy picker.

The Right Guy said...

Yeah, like when Mitt endorsed Bennett and Palin endorsed Branstad. Party people all of them. Stay tuned for some interesting news if you like Sharon.

Just heard Pat Caddell on Sean Hannity. He thinks (as I do) that the GOP leadership is a bunch of buffoons who are going to blow the election.

My take is a bit different. A combination of gerrymandering and mega-super sized House districts means we do not have free elections at all in this nation. In my gerrymandered seat the GOP incumbent has gone unopposed in 3 out of 4 elections. Add in the GOP idiot factor and there may not be a Republican House in November. Statewide races are another matter.

Pat Condell was on Hannity? Shit, I missed that one. Oh well.
