To the editor:
Heffernan’s column really hit home. I joined the Republican Party when Barry Goldwater told me he would keep government out of our pockets and out of our bedrooms.
Then Republicans decided they needed the religious right—never mind that science now came from scripture and intolerance became a new family value.
Then Republicans decided they needed lots of money, so along came Citizens United—never mind that candidates were now owned by special interests.
Then Republicans decided it was worth sacrificing progress to ensure that Barack Obama was a one-term president—never mind that gridlock became the new norm.
Now Republicans have thrown away any moral compass or fiscal conservatism to keep a man in office who is unfit to be there—never mind that they were humiliated into sycophancy.
Republicans: It’s time to abandon ship. There has to be something better than this.
