Huckleberries Online

Dinner Party Discussion

Was at a friendly gathering this past weekend when the topic of our local GOP politics came up.  Some wondered if the Reagan Republicans vs. the Real Reagan Republicans issue had been resolved yet.  Others wondered about the Reasonable Republicans, the Reagan Republicans, the Rally Right group, and all the other splinter groups that have sprung up around town and what there real differences were.  Finally someone suggested starting the Reagan Democrats club -- you know for all those so called RINOs shunned by the farther right OR for actual Reagan Democrats.  Then more wine was sipped while folks giggled.

Do you think there's room for Reagan Democrats in Kootenai County?  Do you have any ideas for other political group names?  (Pssstt -- before anyone gets in a lather, this is for fun --- I know of no actual Reagan Democrats group getting started.  Unless someone wants to volunteer in this thread.)
