NIC: Questions are credible

| September 25, 2020 1:00 AM

So the local Republican Party would like candidates for public office to answer questions about their relationship to the Republican Party. Joe Dunlap is very unhappy with a non-partisan office seeker being examined by the local Republicans. The simple answer is to not answer the questions.

Others will answer the questions. The voter can take aboard the answers and non-answers and give them an appropriate grade.

In today’s political climate and the obvious destructive and nearly criminal behavior of the Democrats, it is no wonder that we would like to have some answers. A party that removes God from their platform, supports unlimited abortion, gay marriage, open borders, free everything, etc., etc., needs to have its adherents known to one and all.

If a candidate has even a whiff of the stink of the Democratic Party, I do not want that candidate in a public office where the opportunity to promote the issues we abhor on my tax dollar.

College boards may truly believe that their positions are non-partisan. We only need to look at Berkeley, Madison and Columbia to see what is happening in our premier institutions. We want to know who and what you believe before we give you our children, money and futures.
