Obviously republicans can’t control the idiotic actions and statements made by fellow republicans.
But there needs to emerge a corps of common-sense republicans, representing a majority of republicans, to speak out against this illegal and invasive procedure, as well as other examples of extreme right nonsense such as legitimate rape and conception resulting from rape being ‘god’s will.’
Like Arlen Specter (RIP) and Chuck Hagel who are hung for being traitors to the new brand of Republicanism. Conform or die is the message. Moderate Republicans are too afraid to step out the shadows these days. Their silence will ensure a continuing failure on the part of the Rep party to gain a Senate majority or a shot at the Presidency.
Totally Agree. Sadly, the party is being held hostage by the right wing extremes of people like Ted Cruz of Texas. There are moderate Republicans who I respect and I have voted for in the past, but they are shaking in their boots as the Tea Baggers and the RW loons try to push the GOP over a cliff. They may very well be successful in the near future
PS: Baggers needs to be recognized by the spell check...
