The shameful silence of Delaware’s “sane” Republicans

Where are Delaware’s Republican grownups? Doesn’t Delaware even have a functioning GOP anymore? Take a look at Charlie Copeland’s official DEGOP Chair blog page. Ridiculous. Copeland is particularly craven given the politics of his father, a Republican who was instrumental in bringing Planned Parenthood to Delaware. What ever happened to the sane/insane divide in the party. I haven’t heard a peep about the GOP’s outrageous and unpatriotic brinksmanship from ANY Delaware Republican. Kovach? Lopez? Are you guys the future leaders of a political party or what?

While the “moderates” cower in silence, many Delaware Republicans live in the same self-imposed intellectual insulation that Ted Cruz inhabits. It is an intellectual ghetto in which the only voices are extremist charlatans who say there’s no risk associated with default. Because they never hear the thoughts of alleged Republican moderates like Copeland or Kovach, they honestly think that the government can structure payments so that the country’s creditors are held harmless. An alarming number of Republicans think this way, and that is to the DEGOP’s eternal shame. The Delaware Republican Party “moderates” no doubt strut their level-headed reasonableness behind closed doors, but there are publicly complicit in allowing the GOP’s dangerous fantasies to flourish.
