It seems the big tent of the Republican party gets a little smaller, and more exclusive, by the day. Republicans in Kent County, Mich. have decided not to welcome Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. Apparently, the governor is simply too moderate to truly be a Republican in the eyes of Joanne Voorhees, chairwoman of the Kent County Republican party. Said Voorhees, ”… hosting the moderate Utah governor would mean abandoning the party’s conservative principles.” It makes you wonder what reasonable person would want to be a part of these kinds of “conservative principles.” More and more, these conservatives are making themselves look like bigots by squeezing out the moderates in their midst.
