As promised, The Republican Heard featured a survey last week about national versus state views on the Republican Party. Below are the final results from the survey. This survey is sent to all of the subscribers to "The Republican Heard", the weekly e-newsletter of the Connecticut Republican Party. If you are interested, you can subscribe too, by visiting the CTGOP website and signing up. The survey size was 276 responses. The answers to questions six and seven were check-off boxes, so that readers could check more than one box.

Looks like the many members of the GOP are both fiscally and socially conservative, YET we keep appointing leaders who are both fiscally and socially left leaning. Friends, a moderate is a person without conviction. We don't need moderates and self proclaimed "middle-of-the roaders," we need people who have both conviction and courage and who do not make their decisions by polls or by having "town hall" meetings! We do not need to "reform" our party, we need to "restore" our party, and there is a vast difference between those two concepts. Stop the insanity!!

Thank you for your comment.
First, Thank you for running this survey.
If we don’t care of the elected officials we have that do a Great Job, we are going to lose them.
Saying Thank You does not cost anything. But it goes along way.
What do we do with these "Bad Bees" in the hive that stir up the rest of the net ?
I wrote an article about the Bottomless Pit approach & a State Senator from East of the River & how he just can say NO to any Bond Issue. See Www.vernongop.wordpress.com/2007/09/27/east-hartford-republicans-working-hard . His behavior is reckless and dangerous.
If Forbes magazine can have a top 100 richest why can the Conn GOP have the Top 10 Reckless politicians?

Interesting... Thanks for taking the time to comment.
It seems to me interesting that few of the respondants wanted anything to do with a move to the left, but most wanted a move to the right, especially on issues involving our core values. I hope that those who serve in governmental positions take due notice and govern themselves accodingly.
The only candidate with a strong conviction in the Republican nomination for president is Ron Paul.
