Noise happens. It's part of the process and we shouldn't fear it or try too hard to suppress it. There are big issues at stake, many near and dear to our hearts and people are going to take passionate stands. It's not everyday that our beloved conservative party decides to pull up stakes and move in a totally opposite direction, especially if that direction leads to abandoning deep seated beliefs.
