Over the past year, I have read letters and op-eds in this paper promoting the Republican Party.
As we all know, the party dominates a large majority of statewide and local offices. In my opinion, many of our local politicians joined the party not as a statement of their ideology but as a means of easily being reelected to positions they had enjoyed as Democrats.
The Republican Party has wrapped itself in the American flag, thumped Bibles and promoted itself as the party of family values.
