Dornan and Ilk Drag Down GOP

* Re Dana Parsons’ Aug. 30 column:

It’s obvious that Republicans who vote for Robert Dornan in November will be voting to continue the dismemberment of the Republican Party.

Religious-right candidate Dornan’s hate-spewing rhetoric is typical of those present House representatives elected by religious-right efforts and their (tax-exempt) money.

These same representatives are the ones who are causing gridlock this term in the House of Representatives--and causing serious division in the Republican Party.

Every recent poll shows that a majority of voters are sick and tired of the religious right-inspired, hate-filled, never-ending attacks on President Clinton--attacks that are driving voters from the Republican fold.

To think that dishing out a little propaganda will convince voters that old tiger Bob Dornan has changed his spots (or stripes) and has now embraced civility is certainly a great joke--a real knee slapper!
