Mike Lofgren leaves 'the cult'

[ysabetwordsmith]

This article analyzes some comments by Republican aide Mike Lofgren, who recently retired from Capitol Hill.  Lofgren's original article is also available online.  Together they do an excellent job of explaining how the Republican party has run so far off the rails that sensible Republicans are ceasing to identify with it, and the damage this is doing to America in general.  Valuable reading; it's more detailed and precise, with less slant than the attack articles both parties usually prefer, especially Lofgren's inside information.
