Rob Haney, a former chairman of Arizona’s Maricopa County
Republican Party, based in Phoenix, told The Wanderer that Republican elites,
like Sen. John McCain, have never made a priority of stopping the tax funding,
although they may use this talking point to gain money and voters.
“McCain was even on former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman’s advisory
board for her national organization, ‘It’s My Party Too’,” Haney said. “This
cabal of Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) was formed to remove the pro-life and
pro-family planks from the Republican platform. Although this effort was
defeated, the viewpoints of the Republican elites have not changed.
“Former Sen. Rick Santorum has stated that McCain sided with moderates in calling
social-conservative positions on abortion and marriage divisive and prevented
them from coming to the floor for a vote,” he said.
“The RINOs have only toned down the hue on the color of their liberal stripes so they could more easily blend in with the conservative wave,” Haney said.
“The RINOs have only toned down the hue on the color of their liberal stripes so they could more easily blend in with the conservative wave,” Haney said.
“But when it comes to obtaining their goals, they are only too willing to give
up conservative positions in order to ‘compromise’ and get ‘vital’ legislation
passed.
“I expect more caving on conservative issues by Speaker Ryan and (Senate
Majority) Leader (Mitch) McConnell. That is their M.O. And President Trump will
sign the bills and claim victory because they are the best deals he can get
from the swamp.
We would be oh so proud if Republicans fought as hard for
conservative issues as Democrats fight for liberal issues,” Haney said. First Published on The Wanderer
