Bay Views: Dump Barbieri, Too
Back in the 1960’s I worked closely with Ronnie Reagan on his first election run in California. I knew his daughter, Maureen and her husband then, Dave Sills who is now an appellate judge in California. I moved
back to Washington Sate in 1967 and thence to Idaho in 1990. During those days as a Young Republican and living in Orange County, we had the same problems that we have here in North Idaho. Extremism. There and then, it was the John Birch Society. They had absolutely no room at all in their philosophical basement for the rest of the party and they were overwhelmingly tossed out of office during the 1966 election cycle. Here we are faced with the opposite of Washington State. There, the liberals control almost everything, especially on the west side. In our state, it is the opposite with extremist republicans holding most of the offices. Either extreme is unhealthy for the politics of any state. We got rid of Hart in the primary, but still have his hand chosen buddy, Barbieri/

Question: Do you consider Rep. Vito Barbieri’s views extreme/maintstream North Idaho?
