Again true a decade ago, but at least in our local party the sane people
are being driven out.  We have folks running for city council who are 
obsessed with stopping abortion and promoting what they claim to be 
Christian values.  One of the big deals is promotion of school vouchers, 
which are likely of real benefit in some urban areas but which here are 
primarily used to fund de-facto school segregation.  So many of the 
small-government pro-business Republicans are no longer active in the 
local party.
