Not written on stone tablets
While I welcome the comments from fellow Republican Bob Culver in last weekâs Guest Shot, I must take exception with some of his thesis.
A political party and its central tenets are not rigid, and unlike the Ten Commandments they are not written in stone. A political party is a living entity that must evolve and change or it will become irrelevant and die. I need only point to the California Republican Party as a tragic example.
In fact, the bylaws of both the Teton County GOP and the Wyoming Republican Party expressly allow for the party platform to be revisited and revised every two years. Moreover, any county central committee can pass a resolution at any time.

DES MOINES, Iowa The flood of calls, texts and emails came swiftly and most with the same message. Dave Millage sat by the fireplace in his living room in a quiet Bettendorf neighborhood as he read them.
He had braced for some blowback ever since he’d told a local reporter what he thought about President Donald Trump’s behavior on Jan. 6. Still, one email stung.
“Traitor.”
“These were friends I had made over the years in the Republican Party,” Millage, a longtime conservative activist in eastern Iowa, said in an Associated Press interview days later. “I didn’t expect people to be mad at me. I can see being mad at my comments, or disagreeing. But it turned a little personal.”
