Purple state republican putting out political rhetoric, not conservative beliefs.


Much to my chagrin, New Hampshire is going through an undesireable change. When I moved here in 1995, the granite state was quickly becoming the lone red state in a sea of deep blue. We had all republican Reps and US Senators. They weren't Lincoln Chafee republicans either. They were solid conservatives. Well in 2002 my Rep, John Sununu, a very strong and true conservative, moved to the senate. During the primaries for his seat all of the conservative republicans shared the majority of the votes thus making a moderate republican, Jeb Bradley, the republican nominee.

For a moderate, Jeb's voting record was very conservative and I was very pleased. However in the massacre of 2006, Jeb was a victim as he lost to a moobat who ran on an anti-war agenda. New Hampshire is quickly becoming blue but currently in a state of purple.

In recent months several other moonbats have brought forward a series of cantidates to take on John Sununu in 2008. In response to this my senator - instead of solidifying his conservative base - has instead begun to state left of center moonbat-like idiocies. The two most prominent are "Sununu calls for Gonzales' firing" and "Sununu: U.S. could leave Iraq next year". Where in the world did this come from? Is my senator Jim Jeffords or John Sununu?? Needless to say this rhetoric is making a conservative like myself very nervous. Why is he trying to pander to the liberals in NH? What does he think that is going to get him? They are not going to vote for him no matter what anti-Bush pap he puts out.

Mr. Sununu needs to dig in his heels and state what he truly believes and continue to be the same man that we elected. Unfortunately he is just being a politician and he is trying to say what he thinks will get him elected. However in 2006 that didn't work for any republican who tried to sound more like a democrat and I fear that the same backlash will happen to my senator in 2008 unless he returns to his true conservative views that got him elected repeatedly here in the great state of New Hamphire.
