What started out as the party of Lincoln now seems more like the party of George Lincoln Rockwell to judge from some of the “red meat” comments of the peanut gallery.
Fortunately, there are other people in the party who realize that this type of rabid fare is not the American nor the Republican way.
These people are the mirror image of Reagan Democrats. They are Obama Republicans. We Pink Elephants are really tired of having to hide our beliefs about evolution or free choice. We crave open discussions about important issues,the economy for example not diatribes about gay marriage and what God believes. Some of us see the bible as an artifact, a religious book and nothing more. And we believe firmly in a separation of church and state. We may have married a base of people with one foot out of the cave, but correct me if I am wrong; isn’t divorce still legal in this country?
Personally, I have often disagreed with Mr. Hatch, however, the comments here only reinforce my fears for the party. The GOP has signed a deal with the devil not so different than the one that conservatives were ready to sign with Hitler generations ago.
If Lincoln were to return, he would probably take one look at the convention and say, “what have you done to my party?”
