Letter to the editor: A house divided

Posted

Jesus said “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

Everything that the Democrats, Biden, Inslee and all the rest are doing is stupid, evil and wrong.  A partial list of stupid, evil and wrong is open borders, destruction of the energy industry, police state tactics, providing support for the enemies of America, unreliable in our support of our natural allies, trying to make our military into a social experiment instead of a fighting force, showing weakness in our international relations, doubled grocery prices, and of course $5 gas.

The Republican Party is full of disloyal members, whether the disloyal members recognize it or not.

In Lewis County, there is a new organization, “The Conservative Coalition of Lewis County,” a group of longtime Republicans who don’t like the fact that the current majority at the Lewis County Republican Party support Donald Trump and Joe Kent, and perhaps because the majority has become more conservative.  Also some members don’t like the Lewis County Republican Party leadership. So they pick up their marbles and go away.  As a result, these voters did not support the Republican Third Congressional District candidate Joe Kent, and by a narrow margin we now have a liberal Democrat representing our district.

When members at the Lewis County Republican Party, before the primary, promoted Joe Kent against the impeacher Representative Jamie Herrera Beutler, the long-time Republicans, who supported Jamie, asked the question “If Jamie wins will you vote for her?” The answer of course is “yes” because we would never vote for a liberal Democrat. But when Joe in fact won the primary, did they vote for Joe? Apparently they did not. Their lack of support gave the election to the Democrat.

The national Republicans also contain enough disloyal members to prevent the party from working as the majority and actually attempting to save our country from the crazy Democrats.  So far, I assume that those disloyal people are sincere in their disloyalty, but our country cannot be saved from the destroyers if the Republican dissidents don’t begin to support their party.

So I ask the disagreeing Republicans, members of the Conservative Coalition of Lewis County, to come back to the Lewis County Republican Party and reenter the debate, finally supporting the agreed upon Republican candidate. 



And I ask the Republicans in Congress to select a speaker and get on with the country’s business.

Further disloyalty and delay only empowers the Democrat destroyers.
