James Bopp Jr. is my attorney, as many know, in the lawsuit I filed against a strong tide of criticism from the bar association and my fellow lawyers challenging rules of the Supreme Court of Kentucky restricting the free speech rights of judicial candidates. Our victories have come at a personal price, but for the better good.
Now, Mr. Bopp is credited with drafting a resolution being sponsored by national leaders of the RNC, including its vice chairman, opposing resort to socialism in order to save capitalism, through the system of bailouts and nationalizing industries.
Republican National Vice Chairman and constitutional law attorney James Bopp Jr. authored the resolution and is asking the rest of the 168 voting members of the committee to sign it.
"The resolution also opposes President-elect Obama's proposed public works program and supports conservative alternatives," while encouraging the RNC "to engage in vigorous public policy debates consistent with our party platform," Mr. Bopp said.
"Jim Boppis the author of the no-bailout resolution because he wants to articulate our core principles now, not every four years when we have a presidential election," said Mr. Yue, an Oregon member of the Committee. "This is based on the thinking that articulating political philosophy is equally important as applying it consistently."
"Failing to do so, we have today's identity crisis, which resulted in our losses in 2006 and 2008," Mr. Yue said. "The bailout is a good example ... In my view, if we are not going to address this, we will see more losses in 2010."
North Dakota GOP Chairman Gary Emineth said he too has had enough of the never-ending disconnect between what the platform says and what elected Republicans do.
"It is time the party gets involved in policy issues and forces candidates to respond to the platform," Mr. Emineth said. "Frankly the way we view the platform is a joke. We work hard to drive our principles into the platform, then candidates ignore it."
HERE, HERE!!!





Once the GOP signed off on the CRIMINAL financial bailout they assured their irrelevancy for years to come. They lost me with the K Street project.
