GOP group pledges to disempower far right

Topeka — The split among Kansas Republicans widened Wednesday as a GOP group vowed to defeat “extremists” within the party, including several elected officials.

The Kansas Traditional Republican Majority said it would try to steer the GOP away from “the politics of hate and intolerance” and toward a more moderate agenda, chairman Andy Wollen said.

“We will no longer concede the good Republican name to extremist Republicans who push a narrow social agenda but lack any real solutions to the problems facing Kansas,” Wollen said.

But Charlotte Esau, executive director of the Kansas Republican Assembly, a conservative group, blasted the new organization.

“Based on what I’ve seen so far, this is not a Republican group. It’s a liberal front group for Democrats who want to pretend they are Republicans so they can hoodwink the voters into electing candidates who will talk Republican before the election and vote Democrat once in office,” Esau said.

But the KTRM said it represented the core values of the Republican Party and would focus on limited government, individual freedoms, lower taxes, strong schools and responsible spending.

I was wondering when we'd hear from the real Republicans who've finally clued in that the
Grand Old Psychopaths aren't going to cut them in.

Vouchers, baby, vouchers. That's the Official Republican(TM) line.

These guys are imposters.

There may be a few Repugs with enough sense to sign on to this, but the vast majority will still vote for the Neanderthals. The Repug party is a right wing extremist party and there aren't enough with common sense to pull it back towards the middle.
