Stephen Nodine Statement On Republican Party
Stephen Nodine Statement On Republican Party
Sheriff who botched the investigation, not a word about the Republican Coroner who did not stand up and exalt the truth when it was plainly visible. It seems the Republican Party has a hard time forgiving those within their own ranks. Senator Ted Stevens, Congressman Gary Condit and many others were also wrongfully accused for crimes they, as it turned out, did not commit. The Party chose to distance itself from them before the passage of time and the truth showed them to be innocent, like it did me. But alas, the Republican Party is perfect, no mistakes allowed, no personal baggage; you have to be as pure as the freshly driven snow! This is the party which claims God as its own, yet the Republican leaders will not stand for flawed candidates or voters, it seems. It would behoove the so-called Party of God to start practicing what it preaches.
Matthew 6:14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. This hypocrisy and superficiality is one reason the Republican Party
continues to fail, in Presidential races and soon congressional, state and local races. There are over 8 million citizens in Americas priso ns, over 20 million on probation. Those in prisons have an average of 6 family members affected, over 40 million Americans affected by personal and moral lapses and failings. Yet the Republican Party wants nothing to do with these potential voters, Republicans want perfect candidates and perfect voters. The percentage of Hispanics and black Americans affected by the prison system is greater than 75%, yet the republicans who claimed to want outreach to these voter demographics have closed eyes, n o failings in our party! Do the Democrats and Independents have a better understanding of forgiveness? President Clinton, Anthony Weiner, Eliot Spitzer and many other leaders who have made mistakes are forgiven by the Democratic Party and, it seems, the majority of the voting public. God forbid a Republican like me who has admitted his moral and ethical mistakes and wants to serve the public, again. I have done so both on a national and local level and have asked for forgiveness to start anew. My request to be placed on the ballot is stomped on by Republican Party leaders depriving the people their right to vote for a candidate of their choosing.
I do not wish to damage or harm the Republican Party nor the 1st Congressional District in any way, therefore I inform the public I shall not seek the 1st Congressional District seat as a Republican.
