| Description | Getting what you wish for can sometime be frightening — and that’s what the Republican Party now faces after thirty years of clever and some would call brilliant hard work.
That may sound strange coming from a former Republican of 57 years. Many of us who were moderates didn’t see the big plan conjured up in some dark room of very conservative, big time, rich Republicans who wanted control of the system.
The right wing of the Republican Party is bankrupt of statesmen and is now getting what they wished for. It’s time to remove them and refresh the party.
Tony Van Vliet was an Oregon state representative from 1975 to 1995 and a registered Republican from 1955 to 2012. |
