IDAHO GOP: Time for change

Deborah Rose’s My Turn speaks volumes about the disintegration of Idaho’s once proud Republican party, where Idaho values, honesty and integrity were valued rather than noxious trickery and childish name calling. Idaho is a Republican state where everyone was once afforded a place at the table. Today, especially in Kootenai County, honest conservatives are being stereotyped and maligned by a party run by a toxic mix of racists, cult followers and agitators. Oh how far we have fallen into a swamp in such a short time. The time has come for Republicans to realize there is more to this great state than name calling and assumptions that good people are the enemy.
