Former US Senator and Governor of our state Dan Evans is another conservative voice that the Republicans badly need to start listening to before the lunatic fringe is their only constituency (if they aren't there already). He is the last Republican I listened to, admired, and voted for. Unfortunately since then I held my nose, suppressed a gag reflex and voted for a couple more...and have lived to regret each and every one mightily.
He recently came out in favor of the so-called "gay marriage" item on our ballot this year. In true, thoughtful fashion he distilled into a few words an implication of "what's the big deal?". Knowing Senator/Governor Evans though, it was delivered without any condescension, pandering, or hidden agendas...unlike almost anything else you will hear this election season:
"...[it] just seems right and reflects the fundamental value of fairness that we treasure here in Washington.”
Postscript: I am not the only one who misses the 'real' Republican Party.
