The Politics of Race

Joseph Cao became the first Vietnamese-American  elected to Congress Saturday night. Isn’t it wonderful how a Vietnamese-American can run for Congress and be elected? Look how far America has come! Isn’t it great?! Nothing like this has ever happened before!

Now wait a minute. What’s wrong with the paragraph above? One word: racism.

It’s true: Representative-elect Cao accomplished a great and commendable feat indeed with his election, for it proves once again how everyone has a chance in America. However, I like to think this isn’t a new development. I’m not denying racism exists, but I like to hold to the idea that everyone is created equal and has equal opportunities in our grand land. Some, convinced that race was the major factor in Cao’s win, not his conservatism, will most likely come out in the following days and advocate “forced diversity”, an idea that we should handpick minority candidates for their PR and vote-getting benefits, but I would argue that in order to move the conservative movement forward, we should focus not solely on gender, race, or, to a lesser extent, age, but more so on the issues and experience each person brings to D.C.

[I do not believe Cao was picked for this reason, and I am only using his name because of his recent victory. I'm using this as an example to prove my point. This idea is also yet another big reason as to why McCain lost.]

If we begin to pick and choose candidates based solely upon their race, how does that make us any different than those who voted for Obama simply because he’s black? I am by no means saying our party should remain (or become, in all reality) the party of grumpy old white men (thank goodness we’re not). However, diversity is not, nor can it be, a forced concept. A more diverse party base will occur naturally as we return to our Conservative roots. We will attract minority voters. How is forcing diversity any different than artificially saving a bank or insurance company by propping it up with tax-payer dollars? Forced diversity is not the answer.

For our country to move past racism, we must not ignore, but respect, race and ethnicity, but it must not someone’s sole qualification for office. We’ve seen where that can take us. Many said it was racism not to support Obama, but, in the same vein, why was it not sexism to bash Palin? Disclaimer: I am from a mixed ethnic ancestry, which includes Native American, European, and Jewish forefathers. I’m also a white male, which supposedly means I’m an ignorant bigot. Not true, but yet another example of discrimination.

My point is this: voting for someone based upon their race is just as bad as NOT voting for someone based up on their race. It’s still racism. 

I say this to the Republicans who think we should be actively and seeking out minority candidates for the simple fact that they’re not Caucasian. Minority candidates will come on their own once we get a clear message that actually appeals to voters (i.e. true conservatism).

Each person should be viewed for who they are, individually. This gender and racial stereotyping nonsense has to stop. We are all Americans, equally. You are no less of a citizen if you are in the minority or the majority.

Just ask newly-elected Representative-elect Joseph Cao, Conservative Republican. Oh, and by the way, he’s also a Vietnamese-American who emigrated here after the Vietnam War.

——

I know I said some tough things in this article. If you’d like to discuss them further, or even put me on what you think is the right track, please leave a comment below. It was not my intent to lessen the importance of someone’s racial or ethnic background, but to point out that people have so much more to offer than their skin color or ancestry.

On a Roll? Don’t get too cocky…

[This is an edited version of this post. I decided I'd tried to stuff too much into one article.] 

Last night, Republican from LA-02 Anh “Joseph” Cao, whom I’ve mentioned here by name a few times before, won his bid for election to the U.S. Congress and defeated the indicted Rep. William J. Jefferson. Jefferson is accused of bribery, money laundering, and misuse of office. Cao will be a dedicated conservative, at least according to his campaign web site (See Ethics Reform and Public Safety and Economic Recovery). My biggest congratulations go out to Representative-elect Cao and his campaign staff and family. He’s exactly the type of man we need in Congress, especially from an area so fraught with corruption like New Orleans. 

We had another victory last night in Louisiana’s fourth Congressional district. Republican John Fleming beat out Democrat Paul Carmouche with a 48%-47.7% margin. Carmouche has promised a recount, since less than 500 votes separate the two candidates. Provisional ballots have also not been counted, which could, but shouldn’t, tip this in favor of Democrat Carmouche. This win, coupled with Cao’s, was somewhat of a balance of power-swinger: Republicans now hold 6 out of the 7 seats in Louisiana’s Congressional Delegation.

I caught wind of Fleming’s bid for Congress late in the game, but I’m thinking I’m even happier for his election than for Cao’s, a man whom I respect (and whose campaign called me at 9:15 CT Friday night to travel to LA and help out in the office [I live in Southeast Kansas and said, "Sorry... do you have an online phone bank?!]) and admire. The more I look into Fleming, the happier I get. Take a quick look around his “Issues” pages, “National Defense” and “Republican Party & Conservative Values” in particular. The man campaigned on exactly what we have all been saying all along! Someone invite him to #TCOT! He mentions “radical Muslims” as one of the sources of terror in the world, a brave, but very true statement: the media won’t even call them “Islamic” any more. He also says we need to return to our Reagan-esque roots, that we got kicked out of Congress not because we were too conservative, but because once in power, we weren’t conservative enough! He sounds like my kind of Representative!

With Saturday night’s two victories, we have gained one seat in the House of Representatives and held another, bring the Democrats net gain down one.

Main point: Yes, we won two major battles last night in electing two more Conservative members of Congress (at what point do we drop “Republican” and “Democrat” in the U.S.?), and yes, we have reason to celebrate, but we should not think we have reformed the party enough or that we are by any means yet ready for 2010 midterm elections just because we’ve now won three special elections. We still have plenty of work to do, and it begins on the grassroots level, as I have mentioned many times before. The point I’m trying to make is that we can never let down our guard, we can never believe the job is finished, even if we elect a Republican majority in 2010. We must be always reforming, always looking for ways to eliminate pork and government waste. We must protect the helpless and punish those who hurt them. Government must grow smaller. That is the future of the Republican Party, with the Conservative Movement steadily at the steering wheel.

Saxby Wins!

It’s official, Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) has won re-election after a hard-fought general election campaign and subsequent run-off election, and hallelujah! But, that’s old news by now. What’s just emerging, however, is the reason for it: us. Dedicated, grassroots conservative Republicans are the reason Saxby won (not to mention a little help from Gov. Sarah Palin, one of my personal heros). You see, it wasn’t the powers that be that won this election as much as it was regular, everyday Americans like you and me who cared enough about their country to donate a few bucks or make a few calls (also not to mention a few concerned PACs: HuckPAC, National Republican Trust).

The point is, this is our strategy for 2010. It obviously does not involve putting up moderate or even liberal Republican candidates for election to any office. We’ve seen how that can go. Our plan for 2010 must be built from the bottom up, with the ideas and full-fledged support of committed Americans like us. No more of this “accept the bailouts and deal with it” mumbo jumbo. The conservative movement must be the steering wheel of the GOP, although we shouldn’t be married to it. (from our friends at The Next Right and Patrick Ruffini, author of RebuildtheParty.com).

We’ve got a lot of work in front of us, but the 2008 season isn’t even over yet. Louisiana’s Congressional elections are still later this week (Saturday, December 6). ) LA-06 (Joseph Cao, whom I’ve mentioned before) and LA-04 (John Fleming, whom I haven’t) are up for grabs. If you can make a last minute donation to either campaign (Cao, Fleming) or even just Twitter about them (including their links), it would help (while you’re at it, follow @calebhays for my updates).

In the end, congratulations to newly-reelected Senator Saxby Chambliss on a landslide of a victory. We need your voice in the U.S. Senate, but I urge everyone not to lose sight of our bigger goal: restoring America and the conservative movement in the GOP. Rebuilding isn’t a one day process. It’s a slow journey that happens every single day, with bumps in the road and harsh setbacks, but I believe we will prevail.

REMINDER: GA Run-off Election

Just wanted to send a quick reminder out to everyone that this Tuesday is the Senate run-off election in Georgia involving Fair-Tax supporter Sen. Saxby Chambliss. Saxby, as you should know by now, won the general election by 3% but failed to break the 50% mark, triggering a mandatory run-off election.

Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Norm Coleman are the only two Senators that stand between us and a full-fledged, unhampered (no, we’re not quite there yet) onslaught of Liberal attacks.

At this late date, probably the best thing we can do is continue to phone bank for Saxby. Mike Huckabee’s HuckPAC has an online phone bank set up that can be accessed here. It does take a quick sign-up, but restricting Obama’s power is worth it.

Call to Arms.

Last Tuesday didn’t go as we’d hoped. We all know that, and if you’re like me, you’re sick of hearing about it. In fact, you were probably sick all day Wednesday and half of Thursday. I know I was.

But, the fact is, we were right in the beginning. Those of us that supported Huckabee, Romney, or Thompson knew that McCain wasn’t the best choice, but we soon realized that he was the only one with any chance of fighting the Obama machine. He was the only candidate with the whole package of electable qualities. He had the connections, the reputation, and the experience. He also had (at first) the media’s support, but John McCain was not the perfect candidate: John McCain was our best hope.

Now, before I get blasted for seemingly contradicting myself, let me state the obvious. I was wrong. However, I hope you understand the underlying reasons for my push for John McCain. While in the end I did support him and many (not all) of his proposed policies, it was Sarah Palin whom I really wanted elected. McCain was simply the vehicle to get a true conservative into the White House once again, and therein lies the reason why McCain did not succeed. As others have said, Barack Obama wanted to become President, while John McCain wanted to be nice, congenial, and unassuming. Folks, that’s not the way you win the Presidency. Now, I’m not abandoning John McCain, for I still believe he would have been a better President than Barack Obama could ever dream of becoming, but we must move on.

I believe this (somewhat-resounding) defeat is actually a blessing in disguise. What the Obama victory has given us is something we haven’t had for the past political generation and never though we’d welcome: relative obscurity. The Democrats lived in it throughout the early Bush years, and they used it to their advantage, building their grassroots organizations and spreading the seeds for broad societal change. If you don’t agree that obscurity can be a blessing, look where they are now.

It seems to me we’ve got two choices. We can either stick our tails between our legs and limp away to lick our wounds, or we can fight for what’s right for America, but that process must begin today. If we want to reclaim our nation, we have no other choice. Let us begin grooming tomorrow’s Republican Congressional Candidates immediately. When we finally woke up to the dangers that Obama was proclaiming, we were effective! Just take a look at the National Republican Trust‘s whirlwind fundraising record set in the last two weeks of the campaign. We must continue to fully fund effective PACs, like HuckPAC and National Republican Trust. In order to stop the socialist onslaught, we must regain seats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives in 2010. Let us begin the next Republican Revolution, today!

The Liberals have MoveOn.org to spread their hate and deceit; why aren’t we as effective with using the Internet to spread our message of prosperity, individual liberties, and limited government? This must change. Support conservative bloggers you enjoy reading, like Michelle Malkin or this site. The Left has control of the main stream media, so it’s time for us to take control of the New Media. Instead of heading over to CNN.com for your news, pick it up at FoxNews.com or Pajamas Media. Don’t just keep it to yourself, either: tell your friends about these sites, and talk them up at work. Word of mouth is our best advertising tool.

Another grassroots organizing site to consider was just put up by the RNC, RepublicanforaReason.com. It includes direct links to the GOP platform and an encouraging video about past Republican Presidents.

Also, I do want to point out that although Barack Obama’s win is historic, this election was never about race. You are not a racist for disagreeing with Obama’s policies; it used to be called Free Speech. I encourage you to use that right, respectfully.

I know 2012 seems a ways off, and I also know that many of you don’t even want to think about another Presidential election yet, but folks, the campaigns have already begun. Palin has been dropping hints about a 2012 or 2016 run, and Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) has already started visiting Iowa. Something like 64% of Republicans want Palin in 2012. Gov. Mike Huckabee pulls 12%, and Gov. Mitt Romney, 11%. Me? I’m pulling for a Palin-Jindal ticket. I think Palin has shown that she is the one who can truly bring true reform to Washington, and I’m excited to watch how things play out for her, especially since she’s finally outside of the auspices of John McCain. Jindal is a man to watch in his own right, having brought Louisiana through two major disasters this year, supporting Life, and backing fiscal conservatism (even if he needs some schooling in the use of earmarks).

We can and will prevail, but only our unwavering diligence will bring conservatism back to Washington. You say, “We’ll get ‘em next time?” Show me. Start work today and never give up. Don’t talk of moving to a foreign nation; this is our country, too, and I intend to help put it back on the correct path. Are you with me?

I’ll leave you with this admonition from the great British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill:

“We shall go on to the end, …we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength… whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, … we shall never surrender!“

Email from McCain Campaign to Supporters

I just received this email from Rick Davis and thought I’d pass it along. I did NOT write this, he did. I’m just reposting it for your benefit:

To: Interested Parties From: Rick Davis, Campaign Manager Date: October 31, 2008 RE: The Final Push The State of the Campaign  If your television is tuned to cable news as frequently as ours are here at campaign headquarters, you have seen the pundits say John McCain and his campaign are done. And, if you’ve followed this race since the beginning, this is clearly a song you’ve heard before. I wanted to take some time today to give you some insight on the state of the race as we see it.  An AP poll released this morning revealed a very telling fact: ONE out of every SEVEN voters is undecided. That means, if 130 million voters turn out on Tuesday, 18.5 million of them have yet to make up their mind. With that many votes on the table and the tremendous movement we’ve seen in this race, I believe we are in a very competitive campaign.  Here’s why:  All the major polls have shown a tightening in the race and a significant narrowing of the numbers. In John McCain’s typical pattern, he is closing strong and surprising the pundits. We believe this race is winnable, and if the trajectory continues, we will surpass the 270 Electoral votes needed on Election Night.  National Polls: Major polls last week showed John McCain trailing by double-digit margins – but by the middle of this week, we were within the margin of error on four national tracking surveys. In fact, the Gallup national tracking survey showed the race in a virtual tie 2 days this week.  State Polls: Iowa - Our numbers in Iowa have seen a tremendous surge in the past 10 days. We took Obama’s lead from the double digits to a very close race. That is why you see Barack Obama visiting the state in the final days, trying to stem his losses. It is too little, too late. Like many other Midwestern states, Iowa is moving swiftly into McCain’s column.  The Southwest - It is no secret that Republican candidates in the Southwest have to focus on winning over enough Latino and Hispanic voters in Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado to carry them to victory. John McCain has overcome challenges Republicans face, and has made up tremendous ground in these states with these voters. For these voters, the choice has become clear, and you have seen a big change in the numbers. John McCain is now winning enough voters to perform within the margin of error – putting these states within reach.  Colorado - Barack Obama tried to outspend our campaign in Colorado during the early weeks of October and finish off our candidate in Colorado. However, after our visit early this week, we saw a tremendous rebound in our poll position, and Colorado is back on the map.  Ohio and Pennsylvania - Everyone knows that vote rich Ohio and Pennsylvania will be key battlegrounds for this election. Between the two: 41 electoral votes and no candidate has gotten to the White House without Ohio. Senator McCain and Governor Palin have been campaigning non-stop in these key battleground states and tonight Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has pumped up our campaign at a rally in Columbus. Our position in these states is strong and undecided voters continue to have a very favorable impression of our candidate. Obama campaign faces tremendous structural challenges in the final days of this campaign  Obama has a challenge hitting 50%: Barack Obama has not reached the 50% threshold in almost any the battleground state. He consistently is performing in the 45-48% range. When we look closely at the primary votes, we see a history of a candidate whose Election Day performance is often at or behind his final polling numbers. If this is true, our surge will leave Obama with even or under 50% of the vote on Election Day.  Early Vote: The Obama campaign has promised that their early vote and absentee efforts will change the composition of the electorate. They have sold the press on a story that first time voters will turn out in droves this election cycle. Again, the facts undermine their argument. In our analysis of early voting and absentee votes to date: The composition of the electorate has not changed significantly and most folks who have voted early are high propensity voters who would have voted regardless of the high interest in this campaign.  Expanding the Field: Obama is running out of states if you follow out a traditional model. Today, he expanded his buy into North Dakota, Georgia and Arizona in an attempt to widen the playing field and find his 270 Electoral Votes. This is a very tall order and trying to expand into new states in the final hours shows he doesn’t have the votes to win. The Final Barnstorm On Monday, we will have a 14 state rally with our candidates crisscrossing the country trying to turn out our voters and sway the final undecided voters. Governor Palin will hit Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and Alaska in the final day of campaigning, while Senator McCain will travel from Tampa, Florida, to Virginia, then Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Mexico, Nevada and finish the night in Prescott, Arizona. The enthusiasm and excitement we generate on Monday will be the electricity that powers our “Get Out the Vote” efforts on Tuesday. On the Ground  Our field organization has tremendous energy and is out-performing the Bush campaign at the same time in 2004. This week our field organization crossed a huge threshold and began reaching more than one million voters per day, and by week’s end will have contacted more than 5 million voters. Our phone centers are full and our rate of voter contact is significantly out-pacing the Bush campaign in 2004. We have the resources to do the voter contact necessary to support the surge we are seeing in our polling with old fashioned grassroots outreach. On the Airwaves In the final days of the campaign, our television presence will be bigger and broader than the Obama campaign’s presence. The full Republican effort – the RNC’s Independent Expenditure and the McCain campaign will out-buy Barack Obama and the Democrats by just about 10 million dollars. In short: the McCain campaign is surging in the final 72 hours. Our grassroots campaign is vibrant and communicating to voters in a very powerful way. Our television presence is strong. And, we have a secret ingredient – A candidate who will never quit and who will never stop fighting for you and for your families.  In these final hours, Senator McCain and Governor Palin are counting on you – they are counting on you to knock on doors, to make turnout calls, to contact your friends and neighbors. Get our voters to the polls and help John McCain fight for your and for our country. This is our last mission on behalf of John McCain and I have no doubt I can count on your effort and energy to carry us across the line to victory.    Please visit this page if you want to remove yourself from the email list. [removed to protect my email address -caleb] Paid for by McCain-Palin 2008

This is our Time!

McCain supporters: this is our time.

We can swing this election completely in John McCain’s favor if we all get out and work this weekend. This is our time, this is when we can make a difference. John McCain has said he believes he’s going to win it, and although you may think that just sounds like a politician trying to bolster his support, McCain doesn’t usually say things to that effect unless he, himself, truly believes them (I’d appreciate fact checks on that, too, because I’m pretty sure I’m right). In fact, he said, “I hope it peaks out at just about mid-day next Tuesday,” meaning he’s pretty confident in the momentum that’s been building these past few days. Carl Cameron, an embedded reporter from Fox with the McCain campaign says that’s pretty accurate description of how the team’s feeling, as well.

I know I write about ways to be involved on a regular basis, but it’s because it’s so important! I want you to know that I’m not just talking about these things, I’m trying to do them myself, too. Just last night I called about fifty people for Sen. Pat Roberts, Lynn Jenkins (running for KS-2 Congressional), Bob Marshall (KS Senate-13), Jeff Locke (KS House-2), and Michael Gayoso (Crawford County, KS Attorney). Just a few minutes ago, I made about eight or so calls for McCain-Palin before my cell phone lost its charge.

And with all those calls, you’d think I would have gotten royally chewed out a few times, right? Actually, no, and I’ve only had two people hang up on me. I think that’s pretty encouraging.

Americans are looking for change this election, there’s no doubt about that, but we as supporters of capitalism, free markets, life, and democracy, and as backers of John McCain and Sarah Palin, must do our part to help voters everywhere pick the right change and the right reform, and only McCain-Palin will bring those.

Friends, keep the faith, and keep fighting strong. We can and will win this thing.

McCain-Palin 08

As many of you know, until the end in March I was an ardent Huckabee for President supporter. I campaigned for Huck up and down the web and even made telephone calls for him. In fact, up until McCain’s announcement on Friday, I supported Gov. Huckabee for the vice presidential nomination. He was my first pick. 

What many of you probably don’t know is that once Huckabee dropped out, I began to begrudgingly “support” McCain, but only in the fact that I was going to vote for him. I had no intentions whatsoever of campaigning for him. He was too liberal for my tastes and didn’t really seem to have the leadership necessary for the highest position in the land. In reality, I was more or less voting against Obama. Because of my disaffection for Senator McCain, I was eagerly waiting on his pick for the VP nomination. Only a true conservative pick was going to get me fired up.

It was, in fact, a blessing in disguise that Sen. McCain waited until Friday to announce. It gave me time to reconsider his policies and his issues. Actually, it seemed like it gave McCain the needed time to really streamline his policies and hit his streak. In the past few weeks, he has really gotten his act together. The stronger he sounded on television with his ads against Obama and the stronger he sounded in his speeches, the more I realized that McCain really could win this thing, and he would probably do it with my support.

Then came last Friday when Senator McCain of Arizona made his two best political decisions ever. First, he announced that he would be announcing his VP pick on Friday at noon, right after Barack Obama’s historic speech. Second, he really delivered by announcing my second choice for VP, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, as his vice presidential running mate, wiping out any Obama media coverage. Sen. McCain really couldn’t have picked a better time to announce, nor could he have picked a better running mate.

Gov. Palin has a proven track record of reform and integrity and has true conservative grit. Face it, there is no one else who could oust corrupt (but highly popular) incumbents at the city and state levels. After serving ten years for the citizens of Wasilla, AK, first as a council member and then as mayor, she became the Chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Natural Gas Commission. That first statewide position didn’t work out well for the ruling class, as it never has for anyone when Gov. Palin is around. She quickly blew the whistle on major corruption involving the government and oil companies with Alaskan interests. In fact, she resigned her position shortly after accepting it in protest of the ineffectiveness of the current administrations corruption battle.

Palin believed she could do a better job, so she ran for governor of the whole state. In a resounding victory, she became the youngest and first female governor of the State of Alaska in 2006. Governor Palin has become the country’s most popular governor and accomplished many of her campaign goals, all while being highly involved in her five children’s lives, most recently giving birth to a child whom she knew would be born with Down’s Syndrome. Obviously, Palin is adamantly Pro-Life. Raised in a Christian home, she has held true to her morals. As a hunter and fisher, she vehemently supports Second Amendment rights and environmental conservatism when drilling for much needed oil. She believes in a limited government and in limited government involvement. She knows we, as Americans, can take care of ourselves and our fellow citizen. Truly, Sarah Palin understands “real” America. She’s been there. She knows. And she’ll take it all the way to the White House.

Wait just a minute, there…

I know so many of you are already tired of politics and some of you are probably sick of seeing anything political on my Facebook, but please, hear me out.

 John McCain is predicted by the media to become the Republican nominee.  Reading the results of last night, it appears that means an Obama-McCain face-off in November.  Does no one realize, for one, how old McCain is? What about his personality versus Obama’s vibrancy or Hillary’s last name? More importantly, even Obama recognizes that McCain has “sacrificed his principles for his party’s nomination.”  

Can anyone, in right conscience, vote for a man or woman to lead our country who abandons his or her beliefs for personal gain? I cannot. 

McCain is not a Republican, no matter what the news media or the little “R” next to his name says. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing; he’s a Democrat who never re-registered.

Now more than ever, I believe Mike Huckabee is our nation’s best hope. He’s our shot at restoring our nation to its former ideals and God-directed and pleasing paths.Mike is a (true- that means no asterisk) conservative, and he’s a Christian.  Mike is a strong candidate. Here’s a look at how he stands on the issues.

Mike Huckabee is our only hope for victory in 2008. He’s not out of this race, no matter what you hear.

 Yes, McCain leads overwhelmingly leads the delegate count, but there are plenty of races left in this election cycle.  We can fight for a brokered convention where obligations for all delegates vanish. Huck has a chance; he has more than “just” a chance, he can win this thing!

We need everyone’s help. If you know people in states that have not voted (i.e. Texas, Wisconsin, Washington, etc.), call them, and talk to them about Mike. Point them to Mike’s website. Talk to them about the issues and the future of our country. Tell them we need Mike!

 Mike Huckabee 2008!
