An Open Letter to Senator StevenNick (R-WA)

[Keystone Phil]

He is a concerned Republican who would like to see his party members vote for someone. How is that immoral?

[Keystone Phil]

It's not like he is registering new Republicans for his election, he is getting already registered Republicans out to the polls.

To vote for a candidate who's dropped out?

If I was running for Senator or Governor or whatever and my Democratic opponent dropped out and you had to suggest a way for Dems to vote, what would you say?

The Republican Party is not and was not running a candidate in the Third District

Ok, Al, let me revise my question. What if there was a candidate of your political party running against a Republican (me for example) and you wanted to voice your opinion of who you support. Would you support the Republican because there was no one else or would you do the "immoral" thing and suggest a vote for someone else?

I don't understand you're question. You appear to be asking two different questions at the same time.

Senator StevenNick does not live in District Three, but he's acting like he owns the Republicans of District Three and he is bugging them to vote for someone who has dropped out.
If a lefty did this sort of thing to you, you would be furious.

All I ask is for the Senator for District Five to leave District Three to make up it's own mind.

I would not be furious at all. Why would I care? I know that there have been liberals on this forum that have endorsed Dems. Example: When the AFIP was around I'm sure AFIP members endorsed Dems and Dems endorsed AFIP members when their party wasn't running anyone.

I think something else you are forgetting is that SteveNick is AFRNC chairman. The AFRNC endorsed Texasgurl and now that we are without a candidate, he has every right to state who the AFRNC will now support.

I agree that people of your district should make up their own minds but I don't think you cared when members outside of your district endorsed you.

And, once again, my question was: If a member of your party had dropped out, would you ask members of your party to vote for the Republican because they were the only candidate left, or suggest another way to vote? I'm not asking two questions there. It's one, simple question.

An endorsement can come from an outside individual, Al. And you mean to tell me that as a party leader SteveNick can't campaign for someone else? Tell me something...have you accepted an outside support? Have members outside your district endorsed you? Have you accepted those endorsements? Would you find it "immoral" if they suggested to members that they vote for you even though they're outside of your district?
