One last chance for Conservative Unity in Bucks County…

At the rate the conservative Fitzpatrick supporters are going, by November they will be
full-fledged liberals. When you excuse liberal votes, behaviors and criticisms of our
President it takes away your conservative ideals, credit and ethics. One cannot claim to
be a conservative and then excuse liberal votes and behavior every day which escalate
further and further to the left. Brian is so far out there that he cannot be saved. He has
done so much damage to his identity that to vote for him would be to vote for a john
mccain or a chuck schumer. Yes, he is that bad. These small groups of conservative
Fitzpatrick supporters all need to step back and see what you have become. I suggest you
take away your support from brian to save face.

 Here is why:
1. Libertarian candidate Steve Scheetz will be on the ballot. He will take away 5 to 10
percent of the republican vote. Combine this with the many and I mean many
conservatives that will not vote for brian and Brian Fitzpatrick LOSES.
2. Many dems will not for Brian either. The afl cio endorsement means nothing when
the home locals will support wallace which they will. This is not 5 or 10 years ago.
The democrats hate Trump and the Republicans and will not even vote for a liberal
like Brian.
3. Why support a losing liberal candidate who doesn’t even listen to or vote like a
republican?
4. If you take away your endorsements for Brian, you all will save face and maintain
your conservative credentials. Hopefully improving your odds to win Republican
seats and elected positions in the future.
It is time people. Time to have a united Conservative party. One without Brian Fitzpatrick
or the leaders of the local gop. Make Brian a one term congressman. We are going to suffer
here in bucks county next year. This is for certain no matter who wins. The only question
is for how long? With a win from Brian we suffer for another 25 years with rinos at the
helm at every local and some federal offices or we suffer 2 years with Wallace and then
the fitzpatrick reign is over and in 2020 the bucks county gop has to back a real
republican. Then that conservative Republican wins in 2020 with A Trump landslide. You
decide.

This constitutes my previously-stated opinion [uploaded on this website, not shared by its webmaster]:

During the past two decades, I went back-and-forth with Guzzardi regarding whether it’s
preferable to be banished to the wilderness for one’s purity vs. to “work through the
system” to attempt to reform errors; I chose the latter approach until, two years ago, I’d
reached my limit with all levels of the GOP and thus resigned as a committee-person
[details can be explained exhaustively, privately], while he argued for the former approach
as a method by which the masses might be provoked to purge miscreants from power.

Both Fitz [who has lotsa reforming to do] and Malik [who remains inexplicably mute] must
recognize that they are conjointly causing angst among Constitutional Conservatives; I will
seek support for my editorial [which takes-no-prisoners] @ the September meeting of Tea
Party Patriots of Lower Bucks County, but it’s fervently hoped that interim events will
preclude the need to provoke such a stark confrontation.
