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.
