Joanne Voorhees, the chairwoman of the Kent County Republican party in Michigan, has "abruptly canceled" an upcoming fundraiser with Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, Jr. (R). Voorhees "said that hosting the moderate Utah governor would mean abandoning the party's conservative principles." The cancellation comes as Republicans are pushing for a more narrow party focused on hard-right principles. In a new interview with ABC News, Huntsman sharply criticizes the national GOP leadership, giving them an "incomplete" grade on their first 100 days as an opposition party to President Obama. "Instead of just kind of grousing and complaining, it would do us all a whole lot of good if we actually started engaging directly in finding compromises and common ground and shared solutions," said Hunstman."
MCL comment: Now I personally don't care about the Republican Party but maybe the Republicans shouldn't try to kick out all the sane people in their party. Because I do want other people to have options in terms of political parties for people to take part in.But if the Republicans think they can with with the radical finge of their party go right ahead I don't mind seeing more elctoral victories for the Democrats and I don't mind seeing the Republicans becoming the modern day Whig Party.
