GOP: This Repub offers advice

It’s amazing how the current Republican Party is trying to stifle diverse opinions! They have their small minds made up and they get angry if anyone doesn’t go along with their plan. I’ve been a Republican for many years, but find it shocking the extreme ideas the far right want to force on everyone else. How dare they!

Frank Henderson said, “I voted for the state insurance exchange to keep it out of the hands of the Federal government. We don’t lose local control this way.” His reasoning is very logical. After all, Obamacare is currently the law of the land. So get used to it and deal with it.

I appreciate Committeeman Luke Sommers’ stopping this effort in its tracks. The extreme right are trying to force out good people that are moderate Republicans. Woe to you if you succeed in this effort. The current Republican Party is not known for compromise and working on the issues concerning our government. You’ve become the party of “no.”

Our country has always been a mixture of a market economy and some socialistic programs that help the least of us. No one wants a completely socialistic country, but our Christian ethic calls on us to help others to a degree. I believe in a hand up, not a handout. I suggest the far right wing of the party re-evaluate the road they are on.
