| Description | Sen. John W. Warner, R-Va. sharply criticized the Virginia GOP yesterday as rigid and intolerant of moderation.
"The rigidity of this outfit is going to keep taking it down until they hit bottom. And I don't know when that will be," Warner said of Tuesday's election results. "And I find it quite distressing."
The election resulted in important gains for Democrats. The fifth-term senator said he was saddened but not surprised.
The late political adviser Lee Atwater, a friend of Warner, espoused a "big-tent" philosophy of inclusiveness for the GOP, Warner said.
But the Republican Party of Virginia has "just strayed away from that concept and become intolerant of those members that express even a modest amount of moderation." |
