This CRNC election has seen a lot of people claim them mantle of truth… TruthCaucus, CR Vets for Truth, etc. Some have asked what place SaveTheGOP serves in this fray. We are not a blog dedicated solely to the CR issue, rather we started to help restore the GOPs conscience on conservative issues, and this is just part of that attempt.

We do not claim to be objective like CRVetsForTruth does or others, b/c we think that when given the choice between Paul Gourley and Michael Davidson it would be an ethical mistake on our part to say they are equally qualified. Paul Gourley’s signature on those letters in the end rendered him incapable of serving as a succesful CRNC Chairman and I’m sure more people realize our point of view when they read our posts.

What I hope though is that we are fair, and I think with our condemnation of the removal of Cassin in Michigan that has come out. We are not in this to cover, spin, etc rather to provide our readers with facts into the case. We don’t say we’re “fair and balanced” every 5 minutes, because we hope from reading our stuff you realize we’re thoughtful and fair folks without us shoving it down your throat. In the end we’re out to help the conservative cause, and that’s why we support Davidson and are not about to apologize for it, but we will show you both sides of the coin.

Good news for all involved it looks like the Amy Paul (HSP Direct) - RDI connection is less that it originally seemed to be, let’s hope it stays that way. Check out CRVetsForTruth take on it and email with Ms. Paul.

No competition for the top job, and no wonder

“BE CAREFUL what you wish for” would be good advice for Francis Slay, the mayor of St Louis. His re-election later this year is all but certain—but so are the problems he faces in running his city for four more turbulent years.

No Republicans have bothered to file for the race, so Mr Slay will face only token competition from the Green Party. This week he easily beat his two opponents in the Democratic primary. One of these was Irene Smith, a black alderwoman whose long career in public service was replaced in voters’ minds by an unfortunate scene during a filibuster in 2001 when she urinated into a waste bucket on the floor of the chamber where the Board of Aldermen was meeting.

Rick Santorum just got a hail mary pass…

From Jeanne K.C. Clark’s Sunday Post-Gazette oped, “I’m Not Taking ‘No’ for an Answer this Time!”:

National women’s rights leaders are notifying their members about Rendell’s betrayal of women and urging them to protest directly and financially. The boycott of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has started among some of the party’s largest donors. Statewide lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender leaders are organizing for an open primary. There are rumbles of mutiny within the state committee. And folks are even talking about challenging Rendell himself in his re-election campaign.

I’m doing all that, and one more thing: I’m starting a campaign to draft Barbara Hafer (www.runbarbararun.com.)

Just as I would rescue a woman who was forced to make promises by her batterer, I am working to rescue Barbara Hafer from our bullying governor. Because I’m sick and tired of women candidates being treated as the battered wives of the Democratic Party.

Women have given the party our money, our time and our votes — and we absolutely refuse to have them repay us with Bob Casey and his likely vote to approve Antonin Scalia as Supreme Court chief justice. An 11-year old rape victim, whether in Somalia or Springdale, doesn’t care if it was a Republican or Democrat who voted to force her to have her rapist’s baby, and neither do I.
