“But, it requires Republicans speaking out and putting country over party when those values are at stake.”

This is Senator Nancy Kassebaum, who served as US Senator from Kansas for almost two decades, from 1978 to 1997. In a statement with two other former GOP officials from Kansas, they write:
> “This election presents a stark choice that is not easy for any of us. The Republican Party of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Bob Dole, Frank Carlson, Jan Meyers, and generations of Kansas leaders does not exist within the current Republican Party.”
> “But, it requires Republicans speaking out and putting country over party when those values are at stake.”
> “We fervently believe that we must do our part to try to build a brighter future, which is why we will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in this election. We believe they most closely align with the aspirations of Kansans and reflect our rich history of working together ‘to the stars through difficulty.’”
I may agree very little with these Republicans policy-wise, but I still respect them for standing up against Donald Trump and the threat that he represents.

Typical, they don’t grow a spine until they are “former”

Wish there were more but at least there are some Republicans willing to speak out.
Country over party.
Vote Blue.

It’s always the “former” Republicans. Always.
Job requirements for being a current Republican office-holder seem to be a total lack of empathy, insatiable lust for power, shameless greed, virulent bigotry, a total lack of spine, an absence of scurples, morals, or principles, and, of course, craven genuflecting before the glory of Dear Leader at all times.

You know how in some professions they hand out a gold watch when you retire? Do they hand out spines when you retire from the GOP because no current members seem to have them, but plenty do upon announcing or being retired.

I, too, find traitors, convicted criminals, adjudicated rapists and frauds, frequent fliers of Child Rape Express Jet… and those who threw Epstein parties instead of turning him in for 20 years…. “off-putting”.
That, and weak, sniveling whiny east coast nepo baby twatwafflesjust like Trump are just tiresome.

The story isn’t *the story* so much as it’s from Fox… Rupert must’ve read the writing on the wall for Ancient Orange.

It’s crazy how these Republicans refuse to back a convicted felon. Weird!!

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I do wish there were more current Republican endorsements. All these “former Republican” ones probably get much more easily dismissed by those voters who still have the potential to be swayed.

This is all fine and dandy and stuff but why all the “former” this and “former” that coming out with these endorsements? Where are those in the now? Anyone currently in office have anything to say?

Interesting that the article is on fox news. Might reach someone and make them think.

Funny how the only ones finding the courage to say something are those no longer in office. All the actively serving ones are cowards
