10. I wish that is the case, however the vast majority of Republicans agree with him.

Is there enough actual patriots in the Republican Party to challenge the insanity that has gripped their party? At the present I would have to conclude that they are a very slim number. They may prevail in the long run, however, it is evident that at the present time they are a voice in the wilderness that is drowned out by the most outrageous demagogues who are in firm control of the Republican Party.

I don't view this as an aberration put the logical result of over forty years of vile propaganda that has made their followers oblivious of the insanity that has gripped their party. This is the basic problem that Washington feared could result from parties that are will not accept any negotiation and demand that their view be accepted as the only solution. It is a case of blind adherence to a party. It does not matter how disgraceful a leader may be. "Yes, we know that he or she is a no good lying bastard without any morals or conscience, but they are our no good bastard." Such blind loyalty that has been instilled in the membership by hated broadcast propaganda that is reinforced daily has created this situation and will not be easily rectified.
