GOP CD-11 Candidate Praises Truther
Full disclosure, I am a paid staff member of the Goehring for Congress campaign. This article is solely meant to reflect my personal views as a political observer. I apologize for any misunderstanding arising from the lack of a disclosure on initial publication. David Creager (dcreager123@yahoo.com).
Historically reasonable Democrats and Republicans have pretty much agreed on one thing, a strong national defense and a well funded military is necessary to the freedoms we hold dear in America. Yet, one congressional candidate, a republican no less, from my home district, CD-11 in California, apparently disagrees. The candidate’s name is Robert Beadles, and he calls himself a conservative, yet I’m not sure which side he really is on.
Two things clued me in. First was a radio interview that Beadles bragged about through his campaign. He was on with a host named Alex Jones. This is a guy who was the executive producer of the film “Loose Change” a “documentary” about how the 9/11 massacre by Muslim terrorists was really an inside job perpetrated by war mongering Republicans, one-world-government Democrats, and Zionist Jews with a thirst for innocent Muslim blood. Yet when Beadles began his interview he gushed all over Jones and credited Jones with shaping his politics. It was a foolish interview at best, and at worst a declaration of shared beliefs. This is just the kind of fringe radical we don’t need running for office on the Republican ticket, let the Peace and Freedom party take it on.
The second clue was a front and center poll on his website here which asks the question, how much does it cost to send a soldier to Afghanistan. His answer, 1 million dollars. A shocking example of how ineffective government is completing any job? Yes. An appropriate focus for this election cycle? Absolutely not. It tells you something about a candidate when in the era of big government socialism, the takeover of the healthcare industry, cap and trade, unions running roughshod over our constitution, free speech and fox news being attacked boldly by the least honorable white house in recent history, and a plummeting dollar value a candidate is really worried about how much it costs to complete a military mission. This man is not a conservative, he’s hardly a Republican in my personal opinion.
At the same time we work to eliminate the left wing republican checkered pants club from our party in exchange for patriotic conservative leaders, we must also eliminate the crazy radicals who the national media loves to latch on to in order to paint us all as out of touch and radical. We lost the white house, we lost the senate, and we lost the house, not only because our party lost touch with its conservative roots but also because leaders arise within the party that were not conservatives. The national media then paints these non conservatives as conservatives because they are Republicans in name. Our brand is then damaged, how much worse if we let these fringe types take advantage of the bullhorn that is the Republican party.
