Congressman Richard Hanna (R-NY) is fed up with the GOP.
Hanna singled out Michele Bachmann’s “suggestion that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin be investigated to see if she has ties to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood” as an example of a party that has gone off the rails.
The Syaracuse Post-Standard has the story:
“I have to say that I’m frustrated by how much we — I mean the Republican Party — are willing to give deferential treatment to our extremes in this moment in history,” he told The Post-Standard editorial board.

Let's hope we see more moderate Republicans begin to raise their voices against the extremes of the Teapublicandungbagger Party.

Leaving the party (Tea Party) side effect.reply - unclepat 2012/08/02 20:54:05What gets me is that these repubs wait until retirement or being voted out of office to finally show and prove that their side of the aisle is freakin' crazy as hell. it's always been about getting Obama out of the White House and not caring how badly the country is destroyed in the process!reply
- Queen B 2012/08/01 04:19:23+2Republican Steve Latourette from Ohio also announced today that he is not seeking reelection, stating that he is frustrated with the extremism and not working to find compromise. The problem is he's a moderate and he's no longer valuable according to the bagger viewpoint.reply
