Richard Viguerie: All Republican Congressional Leaders Should Resign... or Grassroots Conservatives will Withhold Support from the GOPby Staff
November 11, 2008
MANASSAS, Virginia, (christiansunite.com) -- "Republican congressional leaders have failed their party, they have failed the conservatives who make up their party's base, and they have failed the American people. They should resign immediately," Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, said.
"The political party that conservatives have supported with their volunteer work, money, and votes has not supported conservatives. That has to change. The congressional leadership must be replaced with principled conservatives.
"If the congressional leaders refuse to resign, grassroots conservatives should cut off their support - their financial support, and their volunteer support," Viguerie said. "Conservatives should channel their support to principled conservative candidates and to organizations that will promote a conservative agenda.
"Not one cent, and not one minute of volunteer work, should go to the Republican Party until the congressional leadership is replaced with principled conservatives. These leaders still don't understand why the voters have rejected them, and they won't 'get it' until conservatives hit them where it hurts."
Three years ago, in his book Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and Other Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause, Viguerie warned of the consequences for 2006 and 2008 unless Republican leaders were replaced.Said Viguerie: "In this election, the people did not reject conservatism. They rejected failed, incompetent Big Government Republican leaders. It's time for conservatives to do the same."http://news.christiansunite.com/Religion_News/religion07782.shtmlAdditional information on ChristiansUnite.com is available on the Internet at
