It's no secret. The GOP is now the party of bigots, racists, gun-humpers, and ignorant illiterates determined to destroy democracy.
Their heroes are insurrectionists and murderers, their 'Christianity' is based on hypocrisy, and their 'family values' includes forcing women and female children to carry their rapists' babies to term.
Their concept of 'freedom' is citizens being told what they are allowed to read, to say, and to wear.
Their 'leader' is a twice-impeached, indicted liar currently under investigation for numerous crimes, including attempting to overthrow our government. And their idea of 'strength' is to kiss his ass and kow-tow to his every insane demand.
Now is the time for any and all Republicans who don't want to be forever associated with the party of conspiracy-spewing whackjobs to stand up and speak out - and in case you haven' noticed, time is running out.

(83,444 posts)and Lowell Weicker - who I remember as a good guy, and Ed Gurney - who I barely remember at all. Maybe because he didn't distinguish himself like the others did. And Sam Dash was chief counsel, with Fred Thompson as minority counsel. He'd become a Senator in his own right, in later years.
The Repubs had three members, and the Dems had four - Sam Ervin who chaired. Daniel Inouye, Joseph Montoya, and Herman Talmadge
