OOST: GOP Hardliner Beck Wrong

Out Of Stater Tater (re: Beck targets RINOs with latest idea): I’m personally appalled at the idea of rewriting the law or party rules to allow someone to short-circuit the electoral process.  This is all about allowing party leaders to carry out their personal vendettas against people or candidates they don’t like.  It either demonstrates Beck’s lack of understanding or total disregard for our Founding Fathers.  I can’t remember which Federalist Paper it was, but I do remember one of those saying (I’m paraphrasing) “If men were angels, no government would be necessary,” which is essentially why people like Madison and Hamilton believed in the rule of law, and that even kings should be subject to the law.  Otherwise, the people would be subjected to the whims, insecurities, paranoia or other imperfections of a particular individual or small group.  See the parallel here?  If Beck’s idea is adopted, the quality of our elected officials will go down, because many qualified candidates will not even be allowed to run, simply because the local central committee or state central committee doesn’t like them.  Appalling.

Question: Do you want Idaho Republicans to tighten the reins re: who can run as their candidates?
