LETTER: What about Republication Party?

I recently read a letter to the editor about some people’s blind loyalty to the Democratic Party. The letter went on to complain about the George Soros donations to the Democratic Party and the liberally biased media.

What about conservatives’ blind loyalty to the Republican Party? What about the Koch brothers’ continual support of the Republican Party? What about the conservative media, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh? What about the colossal waste of money in sending more than 100,000 troops to Iraq to search for Weapons of Mass Destruction that weren’t there?

What about staying there for another 10 years, when we knew they were not there? What about the money spent on more than 100,000 troops in Afghanistan to pick up one man when Seal Team Six could have done the job? What about the Republican love affair with earmarks and massive deficits under Bush after Democrat Clinton balanced the budget? What about Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, wasting two years of Senate time trying to make the president look bad?
