The best efforts of John Danforth and his GOP pals destroyed the country and gave us Obama. Now he whines we're the bad guys

.
Danforth is a delusional has-been. The GOP purged itself, it needed no help.

5/9/12, "Missouri Disgrace: Former Sen. Danforth Tells Think Progress GOP Becoming ‘Increasingly Inconsequential,’ ‘Intolerant’," Gateway Pundit

"The RINOs are circling the RINO wagons. Former Missouri Senator John Danforth is now giving talking points to the Far Left quasi-communist and habitually dishonest website Think Progress....

• THINKPROGRESS: What do you think is happening here?
• DANFORTH: An effort by some, and apparently a large number, 60% in Indiana, to purge the Republican Party and to create something that’s ideologically pure and intolerant of anybody who does not agree with them — not just on general principles, but right across the board.
  

• THINKPROGRESS: Do you stand by your view that GOP is beyond hope?

• DANFORTH: If this trend succeeds, yeah. What they will be left with, if indeed they want to purge the party of all but people who have a particular ideological slant… it’s not a way to win elections, it’s not political sustainable. It might make them feel good for a time but doesn’t work, it hasn’t worked. It didn’t work in Nevada or in Delaware in last election. They won nominations but couldn’t win elections. I don’t know how you win elections without getting 51% of the vote. I don’t see how you’re gonna get 51% of the vote if you make it clear that people in your own party, who don’t absolutely agree with everything you want to do, aren’t wanted.

Nice work, Senator.
Feeding red meat to Think Progress."...

==============================

Ed. note: Mr. Danforth couldn't be more wrong. I believe he needs psychiatric counseling. He should retire from public life in shame and embarrassment.
