If what it describes isn't happening in your own red state yet, it unfortunately probably will. These kooks are on a mission, have made serious inroads to our state and local government and appear unwilling to stop at nothing to get what they want.

Always voting Democratic in the general, I registered as a Republican several years ago in order to gain a voice in very red Idaho. The repub party closed the once open primaries to registered repubs 10-15 years ago making that decision necessary. Later on today I will hold my nose, cast my ballot and walk back home shaking my head while knowing that voting for Little over McGeachin, Simpson over Smyth, etc. is the best I can do to help steer Idaho away from the abyss. Sometime tonight, this state will know the path it decided to take.
