Don’t be confused by the Democrats

| May 16, 2024 1:00 AM

Some people say that Democrats are about as rare as honest used car salesmen in North Idaho.  If one thing is clear this election cycle, it’s that 90% of the candidates claim to be conservative and 85% of them claim to be Republicans.  Yet there’s a video going viral on social media of a supposedly “Republican” candidate for Senate at an event being hosted by the Bonner County Democrats, and the same candidate didn’t bother to show up for the Bonner Republican candidate forum.

Suffice it to say that it’s important that we research our candidates to understand which of them actually represent conservative values, which of them are pretenders, and which of them are merely running to split the conservative vote (yes there are a few of those).

Fortunately, the Bonner County Republican Central Committee is actually conservative.  They have done an excellent job vetting the candidates by how well they stand for the actual Republican values expressed in the party platform, and how qualified they are to get the job done in Boise.  Take the time to see who the actual Republican Party recommends.
