The GOP Loses Another Voice of Reason

RSmitty of Delaware Politics has just announced he’s leaving the GOP and becoming an Independent.  I am not here to gloat.  This was obviously a difficult decision, and not one that should be taken lightly – by either side.  I refuse to cheapen Smitty’s decision with offers of congratulations.  Today is a day of mourning, because I believe this country is at its best with a viable opposition party.  The other side not only lost another voice, it lost one of its finest ambassadors.

Below the fold I have posted Smitty’s words in their entirety.  I am also including a link to Dave’s calling out of Rush.  Given the political climate on the right, both deserve to be taken seriously… and without apology.
