Charles Burris Sums up the Situation for the Tulsa GOP and Beyond: Freedom

Freedom is the genius of American civilization. Other great nations were founded on the power of the State. Ours was born with the Declaration of Independence and the enshrining of the inalienable rights of mankind. This vision lay at the center of Americans’ beliefs. It remains today the root of what we as a people believe. Political debate then, as now, centers upon who has remained most true to this noble vision.

Republicanism was a political outlook centering upon the themes of liberty versus power and civic virtue versus political corruption. The main lesson of republicanism was that a virtuous citizenry preserved its freedom by keeping government within strict constitutional bounds. Corruption and big government went hand in hand, for only government could rig the market in favor of an artificial aristocracy. This is a primal civic lesson our Democratic opponents have lost sight of in their support of oligarchic government, whether by bureaucratic elites in Washington, D. C. or corporatist elites of Wall Street. Barack Obama and his tyrannical regime must go. On this unshakable goal we all agreed as our number one objective.

On Saturday, March 24, Republicans of good character and prudential integrity gathered in our Tulsa County GOP Convention. And although we had our differences in approaching important questions of civic governance and public policy, we united in common fellowship, harmony, and dedication to first principles in having a productive and forthright Convention. Our business there was characterized by transparency and free and open debate. Our common goal was to restore the proud legacy and providential vision of America as that “shining City on a Hill,” dedicated to liberty and justice for all.

“I enjoyed my rather uneventful, anti-climatic day at the convention. None of the gloom and doom apocalypse the anti-Ron Paul party regulars predicated in that hysterical unauthorized email they sent out to delegates. Everybody behaved like proper adults with a common purpose — to focus upon and conduct the necessary business at hand. The people I met from my precinct seemed very nice and welcoming, especially one Ron Paul guy who is an independent businessman (just the kind of stable middle class regular guy that defies the RP stereotype so many misinformed people have. And I was astounded by all the RP bumper stickers on cars in the lot coming in to the convention. Very encouraging.”   Charles Burris via email 03/25/12

Rasmussen Shock Poll via Drudge Report: Obama 41% Paul 37%

Congressman Ron Paul may be a long shot to win the Republican presidential nomination, but he runs competitively with President Obama right now.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Paul picking up 37% of the vote, while the president earns 41%. The Texas congressman joins Mitt Romney, Michelle Bachmann, and Rick Perry as candidates within hailing distance of the president at this time.

Rudy Giuliani is another potential candidate who is considered a long shot for the nomination but is competitive with the president. The former mayor of New York City trails Obama by five, 44% to 39%.

But the real story in the numbers is that the president continues to earn between 41% and 49% of the vote no matter which Republican is mentioned as a potential opponent. This suggests that the race remains a referendum on the incumbent more than anything else.

Obama posts a 12-point lead over former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, 44% to 32%.

Two Republicans can’t even get to 30% against the president. Businessman Herman Cain and former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, who served as Obama’s ambassador to China, each earn 28% support. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, considered unlikely to run by most observers, trail the president by seven and nine points respectively. Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum trails by 14.
