Election 2004

A delegate's defection

This spring, longtime Philadelphia GOP activist Jesse Walters achieved a lifelong dream. The 48-year-old Walters, local treasurer of the leading gay Republican group, the Log Cabin Club, was elected as a full delegate to his party's convention in New York City.

But when the gavel sounds in Madison Square Garden, Walters won’t be anywhere within 100 miles. He’s decided to stay home because he’s so disenchanted with President Bush's performance. In a startling turn of events, the president of the Germantown Republican Club told Campaign Extra! he's voting for Democrat John Kerry in November.

Word of his resignation dribbled out slowly over the weekend. Since then, several people have asked Walters whether his decision had anything to do with Bush's support of an amendment to ban gay marriage. But he says there was no one "tipping point" – and that a lot of his dismay with the president is based upon his economic policies.

"I've been most disappointed, truthfully, about the deficits," he said. "As a fiscal conservative and a lifelong Republican, it seemed like a betrayal of what the party stood for." Since Walters told Philadelphia GOP boss Vito Canuso last week that he was resigning as a delegate, friends have greeted the decision with surprise. When the party confab was here in Philly four years ago, Walters was an alternate delegate, which called a "pretty heady" experience.

But he said yesterday he's dismayed at the widening gulf between the Republican Party here in Philadelphia – which has produced moderates such as Arlen Specter and Sam Katz – and the national GOP.

"Check out the Texas Republican Party platform and contrast it with the Pennsylvania Republican Party platform," he said. "You can't believe it's the same party."

Walters said he's comfortable in the local party and has no plans to change registration. But his resignation is a blow to GOP efforts to increase diversity at the convention in NYC. About 50 of the 4,853 delegates and alternates this week are gay.

Success, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want. The person not reaching the top is no less a success than the one who achieved it, if they both sweated blood, sweat and tears and overcame obstacles and fears. The failure to be perfect does not mean you're not a success: order Cialis
