Squashing dissent


Yesterday, my husband described a syndicated article in the morning newspaper that called the Republican Party an “extra-constitutional institution” and “quasi-governmental organzation,” making the case to lessen its power. Wow, I wanted to read that.

It turned out that this was just a letter to the editor about the differences between pro-Bush and anti-Bush rallies in Salt Lake City during the American Legion convention. I’m sorry to hear that this isn’t a nationally syndicated column, but it’s still a good read.

The Republican Party has become a quasi-governmental organization under the Bush administration. The evidence of this continues to mount, starting with overthrowing the 2000 presidential elections by conspiring to make mass challenges to opposition voters.

Read more of the letter from Nate Smith at the Salt Lake Tribune, and find out how he was kicked and threatened at the pro-Bush rally.
