We have any Oregonians on here? Anyone who has friends or kin in OR? This is important information for them.
One of the states that the pundits are increasingly talking about is Oregon. If you are listening to the Beltway establishment, including Rove, you would think that there is only one Republican candidate running in Oregon — Dr. Monica Wehby.
The problem with this is two-fold:
1) Monica Wehby is not the only candidate running for the Republican nomination
2) Monica Wehby is a liberal Republican and proudly pro-abortion.
Luckily, Oregonians have an alternative. His name is Jason Conger, and my organization, Oregon Right to Life, has proudly endorsed him.
Despite being abandoned by his mother as a child and suffering periods of homelessness, he nevertheless worked his way through community college and graduated from Harvard Law School.
Conger has been endorsed by nearly every Republican state legislator in Oregon and 97 percent of Jason Conger’s itemized contributions have come from Oregon.
Meanwhile, 40 percent of Monica Wehby’s itemized contributions have come from out-of-state, thanks to the DC GOP establishment’s support of her candidacy – including contributions from Senators Susan Collins, Saxby Chambliss, and Richard Burr.
The Beltway GOP establishment – likely orchestrated through the NRSC – thinks they know Oregon better than those of us fighting here in the trenches.
It is simple: the Beltway GOP establishment does not believe that a conservative can win in Oregon. So they are trying to hoist a liberal Republican on Oregon conservatives.
I have a simple request: Stay out of our state, and let us choose the best person to represent our values to be on the ballot this November.
By the way OR is generally considered a safely blue state but this time around the Republicans are thought to stand a good chance due to ObamaCare and the absolute hash OR Gov Kitzhaber (D) has made of his state's ObamaCare website. Prior to its launch he promised it would be a "model" for the nation. At last reports it was such a mess it had not signed up one single person, applications were being done by hand, and it had cost Oregonians a ton of money. Well done, John.
LOL. Does anyone believe a real Conservative can win Oregon, the place that elected Commie Pinkos like Merkley and Wyden? I guess no one has been to Portland and looked at the Leftist filth living there. We should focus on getting real Conservatives in red states installed. KY comes to mind.
