Illinois GOP State Chairman Pat Brady is getting more and more push back for his choice to betray marriage and core Republican principles:
More conservative leaders within the Illinois Republican Party are voicing their dismay with party Chairman Pat Brady's phone calls to Republican senators urging them to vote in support of legalizing same sex marriage.
"You can put me on the record that I want Pat Brady to step down due to his actions of supporting Gay Marriage, which is against the Illinois Republican Party Platform," McLean County GOP Chairman John Parrot told IR. "How can he be a leader when he doesn’t any longer believe in what our Party stands for? I also question his position with his Church, which is outspoken against gay marriage. He has failed his belief of his Church’s teaching and he has failed his Party."
“Mr. Brady, I ask you on behalf of our Party and for all Conservatives within our Party and the Families of our Party, it’s time for your to resign as our leader," Parrott said Wednesday night.
Parrott is on the County Chairman’s Executive Committee, and serves as Party Chairman of McLean County Republican Party, (Bloomington/Normal). He also served on the 2012 IL GOP Platform Committee.
Karen Hayes, another platform committee member representing the 1st Congressional District in Worth Township, spoke out in defense of the 2012 platform:
... "Pat Brady needs to step down now. Sadly, he has embarrassed himself and the Illinois Republican Party." (Illinois Review)
Please take a moment right now to call the Illinois Republican Party and demand the resignation of Pat Brady. Call them at (217) 525-0011. Let them know it is simply unacceptable to have a party chairman who so openly flauts values central to the party and its platform.

He may want his children and grandchildren to be made to learn that homosexuality is normal, but I dont. Traitor!!!
I'm glad Republicans are calling for Brady's resignation.
It appears this scoundrel already knew he was on his way out and just wanted to feather his nest before he got the boot.
It is obvious one way to get Republican votes is to infiltrate the State's Republican Party. Look, spies have always been used to infiltrate the opposition, whether in battle or political competition. One spy can possibly have a greater effect than 100 straight (and i mean straight) politicians.
How many spies work behind the scenes in the Republican Party? These are people who appear to be working for the Republican Party, but are really there to vote against Republican ideals.
Note the name of the parties: One is 'Republican', meaning we live in a Representative Republic, where the elected officials make decisions for their constituents. If those decisions do not conform to the statistical opinion of the constituents, that elected official simply doesn't get re-elected. This permits elected Republicans to make emergency decisions. Now, in the age of the Internet, elected officials can get a lot more feedback from a lot more constituents in their district. The Republican system improves with improved communication infrastructure(!). All members are treated equally, and all have the same access to the elected official.
I am not an expert, but how does the Democrat ideal contrast with that of Republicans? There must be some significant contrast, or they could use the same name for their political party. First, we should underline we do not live in an exactly democratic form of government. We don't? Most people think they do. But we don't. at the very least it would be a representative democracy, because decisions are not made directly by the direct vote of 'the people' (meaning adult voters), but by their representatives voting.
In practice, Democrats endear themselves to the minorities, such that minorities are given a higher weighted vote - some people's votes are more powerful because they are minorities. When the number of people in minorities surpass those NOT in a minority, as a group of minorities, the minorities become the majority. In a pluralistic society, such as ours, this strategy works well, achieving political power - as long as all the minorities can be kept happy (!)
Look how people of special 'sexual orientation' make themselves a minority with special rights, such that their political power is increased relative to others. This is in direct violation to the concept of a Representative Republic or representative democracy, because the votes of some members are effectively given greater weight relative to the other members, because some members have greater access to the elected official than others (bias).
Therefore, Democrats voice 'equality', but in reality and in general they practice inequality, because they seek to give each minority more political power. How do they do this? By voter fraud, by filibustering, by unreasonable lawsuits, by elected officials who do not listen to their constituents, by giving gifts paid by the taxpayer to get votes for their party, to give State benefits preferentially to those who vow to vote Democrat.
All we have to do is return to 'equality'. If all people are really treated fairly and equally, indeed we will live in a representative republic or democracy, but the democrat political party is not that. Note they call themselves the Democratic Party (as if they were democratic), but don't follow the original intent of a democracy or representative democracy. For them, it is more important to win an election, than to stick to the ideals of democracy - they believe The Goal Justifies The Means, even when the approach or methods go against what democracy stands for.
Let's be the ones calling for 'equality', and note how our society is far and increasingly more distant from treating people equally. It is evident all around us. They call it progressive, but it is regressive. It's a brain wash.
