I gave her the absolute right to vote her conviction when entering the ballot box. Who a person votes for is that person right.

A person that is an official of the party signs a loyalty oath to the party and those that he or she represents. He or she has a responsibility to those to carefully restrict their own personl viewpoint in a public venue.

Would it bother you if she stated in public that she was going to vote for Obama for president while serving as a Republican party official.

If that is her position on this election then she should resign if she feels so strongly about her position on the candidate that she must speak against an official action of the party.

She has violated her oath of office.

She should resign.

IG, lighten up, Dunelaker stated her choice in a non partisen race......

 

[Bob Wells]

Dunelaker,
I realize it is easier to say there in an untruth out there, and by not being willing to say what that untruth is leaves your credibility in question. Maybe there would be an answer to your perception of the alleged untruth.

It wouldn't bother me, but I can see that it would bother you.

She has publicly endorsed a candidate in direct opposition to the endorsements given to candidates in official vote of the Executive committee.

She should resign -plain and simple.

I disagree....carry on.........

Really?? Since when does an endorsement from a committee hold an individual on that committee to an absolute support of the endorsement? IG, you have a very warped perception of how our party system works, IMO.
I have served on many boards and just because I didn't agree with the majortity's opinion is no reason to resign. Nor should she resign if she should personally come out in support of Obama. Many on both sides of this campaign, in leadership positions, have come out in support of the opposing candidate. Watch Fox News to see Hillary supporters who were part of the campaign who have come out in support of McCain.
Just

Just because we serve on ANY committee of a particular party should not mean we march in lock step with that party. I certainly understand what you are saying, IG, but I think you are dead wrong on this issue.

 

[Interested Girl]

Nothing warped about it.

Howard Dean is the DNC Chairman u imagine him as the sitting chair announcing that he was supporing John McCain. Resign he would be free to endorse anyone he chosees. While a leader he must publicly support their endorsed candidates.

I for one feel that she has violated her oath of office and has destroyed her ability to speak for my party.

Can she vote for whomever she chooses, yes she most certainly can.

She should resign.

You have one more person disagreeing with you. Me. I cannot equate a local party group the the RNC or DNC. There is a big difference and not only that, the race you're talking about is, or should be non partisan anyway. Maybe you should reevaluate your position on this matter. It is one of the reasons so many moderates and independents do not any longer find the Republican Party to be in their best interest.
