The great divide

I'll be on the road tomorrow (Monday), so don't expect to hear anything from me.

However, I do want to leave one thought. I won't interject my comments for now, as I don't have time.

There is a huge divide among Wisconsin Republicans. There are Southeast Republicans, and there are Rest of the State Republicans. I happen to live among those in the Rest of the State category, so I get to hear some of the griping about the Southeast Republicans.

Here's a recent comment from a representative - and one who I believe is not only very intelligent, but is a pretty good conservative. It should be noted that these comments were made in a public address to other members of the Republican Party.

First, this person called Southeast Republicans "nutso."

Then, this representative declared, "There are three parties in this state. There are normal Republicans, normal Democrats, and Charlie Sykes Stormtroopers. He says jump, they ask 'how high?'"

I don't have the audio from the event to physically prove these comments were made, so don't ask for them. All I have is the text message I saved in my cell phone with the transcript. But this underscores something very interesting about the dynamics of the Republican Party at the state capitol.

I'd comment further, but I must leave...for Madison....
