Mike Lofgren is a retired Republican congressional staffer. In this piece, he explains why he retired and what he thinks is wrong with the current GOP. The article is long, but enlightening...I encourage you all to read it.

Damn-----that was one helluva good article. I've sent it to a friend of mine in Michigan. He'll love it.

Wow. I finally read it. It was very insightful. I feel like some of the pieces of the puzzle have come together.

I agree. Great article. What the Republican Party needs is more high-profile defections like this.
