Save the Republicans!

I am still puzzling over the hijacking of the Republican party.

I remember when Democrats were considered the wascally wabbits, and Republicans, in contrast, were seen as--uh--wespectable--maybe a bit staid, but educated and reliable. Now the party's base seems to consist of hate-mongers and religious zealots.

What happened? My Aunt Julie, who voted straight Republican until she died at age 95, would never have recognized today's GOP. And neither would Abraham Lincoln.

Ditch Sarah Palin.
