The honor in being a Republican is gone.

If you are a regular reader of this blog you probably know that I like several of the local Republican officials here in South East Pennsylvania. That’s because they came up 30 years ago or so when being a Republican was still honorable.

People like Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, Newt Gingrich, George W Bush, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Scott Walker, Michele Bachmann, Pat Buchanan and Rick Perry have made the title Republican a badge of dishonor. They have made the Republican Party the political party for thieves and fruitcakes.

Maybe there is still hope for the Republican Party but it sure doesn’t look that way right now.
