To the editor:

When will Republicans realize that their party has been stolen from them and quit voting for those who simply call themselves Republicans?

The Republican National Committee has insulted old-school Republicans, in my opinion, which prompts the question: Has the Democratic National Committee been ignoring the majority of Democrats on the national front by sliding further and further to the right?

Could Republicans consider spreading their wings to form another party? There are so many Republicans without a party it could be a piece of cake. This would also draw substantial attention to the scoundrels who stole the party. Once real Republicans abandon the bogus GOP, the bogus GOP will be history.

Is the RNC misusing GOP money through backing extreme right-wing philosophy instead of supporting real Republican constituents? Has the RNC become a money-laundering institution?
