Not your daddy's GOP

 

A lot of Republicans are, for some reason, blind to the fact that this GOP ain't what it used to be.


But a lot DO recognize it for what it is and rather than stick with the new Party of Trump, they're throwing their support behind Joe Biden.


You can find several articles highlighting these folks on-line.


Here's a comprehensive list at Wikipedia "of Republicans and conservatives who oppose or have declined to endorse the re-election of incumbent Donald Trump, the 2020 Republican Party nominee for President of the United States. Among them are former Republicans who left the party in 2016 or later due to their opposition to Trump, those who held office as a Republican, Republicans who endorsed a different candidate, and Republican presidential primary election candidates that announced opposition to Trump as the presumptive nominee."


I applaud them.


And here's an article about the more than 350 faith leaders endorsing Biden citing "need of moral leadership."


If you're interested in seeing all of Joe Biden's endorsements, check here.  I think this list is being updated regularly.


We can all get back to the party line of choice later, but for now, let's get America back on track.


Let's bring back the UNITED States of America.


And here's what Ted Wheeler, Mayor of Portland, had to say over the weekend.  Things EVERYONE - politicians and journalists especially - should have been saying all along.


“President Trump, for four years we’ve had to live with you and your racist attacks on black people. We learned early about your sexist attitudes towards women. We’ve had to endure you mocking a disabled man. We’ve had to listen to your anti-democratic attacks on journalists. We read your tweets slamming private citizens to the point of receiving death threats and we’ve listened to your attacks on immigrants. We’ve listened to you label Mexicans as rapists.
Do you seriously wonder, Mr. President, why this is the first time in decades that America has seen this level of violence? It’s you who have created the hate and the division. It’s you who have not found a way to say the names of black people killed by police officers even as people in law enforcement have. And it’s you who claimed that white supremacists are good people.
Your campaign of fear is as anti-democratic as anything you’ve done to create hate and vitriol in our beautiful country. You’ve tried to divide us more than any other figure in modern history and now you want me to stop the violence that you helped create. What America needs is for you to be stopped so that we could come back together as one America...”
“President Trump, you bring no peace, you bring no respect to our democracy.”


Trump, with his remarkable vocabulary and skills as an orator, replied to Mayor Wheeler's comments by calling him a "dummy."


Michelle Obama said it perfectly.



VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!

Books Read

Every year I promise myself I'm going to keep a log of books I'm reading. And I immediately forget. Then I remember again, but only after I've already read a few books, but can't be sure I'll remember them all and so - - can't bring myself to start the list. It's sort of like missing the first 30 minutes of a movie. I just can't watch it if I've missed the beginning. And being the anal ol' soul I am, I can't bring myself to start a list if I can't be sure it's going to be a complete one. So. I decided to keep a list during 2010 and found it to be a fun thing. Especially for a compulsive list-maker like myself.
