Joseph Sobran calls the Republicans: "The Stupid Party"

SEE HERE It's not without cause that Joseph Sobran used to call the Republicans the stupid party. I've been active in Republican Party politics since the late 1970s when I got involved in Minnesota. My universal experience of the Republican Party is of conservative grass roots activists partnered in an uncomfortable truce with what we called "Country Club Republicans" — these were relatively wealthy, unprincipled folks who tended to want to run things but whose only real interest was winning. Their commitment to principles were generally fairly lukewarm and the older the wealth that underlay their positions the more lukewarm they were. The result has always been that the Republican Party has schizophrenia. I think it is time that we cut that umbilical cord and start being the party of principle and if we lose on our principles then so be it — it is dishonorable to win power and then betray your supporters. That's what Obama is doing and that is what many of our elected officials have done. Let's wise up and start insisting that principles need to be practiced and not just talked about.
