Parliament of Whores

Another Disgraceful Sell Out

10.24.2024

By now you should have received your ballots in the mail. If you live in Clackamas County, you may have the added convenience of having your ballot return envelope already sealed for you by the county clerk.

But wherever you are, you will have to face the grim reality that what’s left of your rights is in serious danger, and not just from Democrats.

Tobias Read is the Democrat running for Secretary of State. Read is a far left, extremist, gun banner as can be seen by his list of endorsements. It reads like a who’s who of Neo-Marxist, anti-2nd Amendment radicals.

Running against him is Dennis Linthicum.  Dennis has been one of the most stalwart defenders of gun rights and liberty in general.  As you probably know, Dennis gave up his right to seek re-election to his Senate seat when he refused to bow to the Democrats and walked out of the charade that is the Oregon Legislature. (His wife Diane is currently running for his Senate seat and is one of the very few candidates we can support.)

So it would seem like a no brainer that Republican legislators would be all in for Dennis.

Not so fast.

House Rep  Kim Wallan, Republican of Jackson County has now endorsed…Tobias Read.

Wallan, you may recall, chose to vote against Dacia Grayber’s anti gun bill because in Wallan’s view it did not punish gun owners enough.

To make matters worse, Wallan is the person who the Republican Party of Jackson County has given the power to pick candidates in that county. 

How can the county party, or the state party, continue to allow this kind of disgraceful behavior?  Is it because the Democrats control the money? Is it because the leaders of the elected Republican caucus are determined to torpedo any candidate with principles and are happy to spend your money to do it?

The Republican establishment in Oregon has, for all intents and purposes, ceded all control to the far left.

The Republican’s choice for Attorney General, Will Lathrop, refuses to say whether he will continue to spend your money to defend the clearly unconstitutional Mz 114 which 2nd Amendment advocates have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to defeat.

Lathrop’s website says “Oregon’s attorney general must enforce our laws justly and without a political lens” but he won’t say whether he will keep spending your money to take your gun rights away should he win.

Compromise, capitulation, and straight up sell outs have become the hallmark of Oregon Republicans. Our choice for President is clear, but until the “leadership” of the Republican Party starts to call out people like Wallan, who is openly and unapologetically helping the people who are stealing our rights, Oregon gun owners are in serious trouble.

 

UPDATE 10.25.2024

The following X post is from Reagan Knopp.  Knopp is the son of the former Senate Republican Leader Tim Knopp, who set up his most conservative colleagues with a walk out that cost them their futures. After they walked out  Tim Knopp gave the Democrats everything they wanted, making the walk out a useless exercise.  Reagan Knopp, you may recall created a fake “pro-gun” organization along with the husband of  Vikki Iverson who was the House Minority Leader who sold out everything to the Democrats during her disastrous and failed tenure.  The only purpose for this fake group was to promote the Iverson family’s lackeys.  The rot in the Republican Establishment is deep.
