In some recent correspondance with fellow Republicans, a few of them expressed sentiments that if this editorial actually is a genuine representation of the Republican Party's official attitude (and the jury is still out on that count, BTW), then they will leave the Party.

FWIW, here is an exerpt of my response to them.
Please let me know if you think I'm being out of line or over the top with these sentiments, as this sort of thing tends to get me a little worked up, if you know what I mean.

And I'm not always as diplomatic as I probably should be when I'm wroth.

"Political Siberia" (Edited):

"It seems that one of Gillespie's flunkies called Rush right after his show today to do some frantic backpeddaling - it seems that this article raised the hackles of a lot more conservatives out in flyover country than the RNC might remember even exists in America, and their little country-club golf shorts are just a-smokin'!

This has the potential for getting interesting, eh?

As you might tell from my FR posting, I really don't see any hope in a 3rd Party any time soon.

My theory is that the Socialists are doing with the Republican party exactly what they did to the Democrat Party about 25 years ago; they gradually infiltrate the organization, pile on, and take over control.

Then they use that organization to advance their global socialist agenda and sap the culture's resources untill they have ruined both the organization and the economy, then destroy it and move on to the next crucial institution in their targeted society. Sort of like how a virus operates on a cellular level.

So the only hope for American Culture, heritage, and Liberty in my humble opinion is to take our Party BACK from the usurpers and parasites.

I have no intention of quitting the Republican Party, darn it; it used to be OUR Party, and those who seek to hijack it and steer it down the commodal vortex of moral and ideological oblivion are going to have to put up with every smouldering cinder of Yankee Baptist Hellfire and brimstone I can summon to drop down the back of their shorts while they're doing it, or they will have to throw me bodilly out or carry my cold inanimate corpse out in a rubber bag!

We have nothing less than Liberty to lose, and I for one have no intention of surrendering that precious blood-won legacy to any quislings of tyranny with anything akin to quiet, peaceful resignation!
...

Do you think that the (local Republican) Committee has been marginalized by the "proper" Republicans in this (Community) because we are "too conservative"?

I can't help but wonder.

Being the least bit pro-Life can get us stationed in political Siberia quicker than anything else I know.

Cooperation with the Country-Club "Moderates" seems to be pretty unlikely, (Lord knows we've tried) so about all we can do it seems is annoy them as best we can and watch our Candidates lose.
That s(tinks)s, of course - I really wish someone could come up with a better way of doing things, don't you?

...The Democrats in this (Southern Maine Community) probably find us somewhat amusing, if they even notice our existance much at all."

Did you check out reply #34.

Amen! Are you familiar with the Republican Liberty Caucus?
