Bouma is not a false reflection of the Idaho GOP, but in fact a very accurate one. I like Bouma as a vocal high ranking member of the GOP, he helps all the Democratic candidates and demonstrates there is only one party right now capable of representing the short and long term interests of the people. </span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>Donovan J.

I think they have shown their true
colors by their biased statement concerning the gay rights statute passed by the Moscow City Council. According to their way of thinking Walter Steed should not have voted in a nonpartisan way on that issue but upheld their narrow view of minority rights.

the Latah GOP. It is you two who are the problem, not Steed. Further, if either of you plan to run for office again don't expect the support of mainstream Republicans like me. Many of us are tired of you trying to discredit Steed; if you are so dissatisfied with party leadership and direction, perhaps you should find a group more willing to support your ideas.</span></div></div><div class="yiv9296946577encrypted-content" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; text-align: left; float: none;"><div style="margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; float: none; background-image: none;"><span>I, for one, would be glad to hold the door for you as you leave.</span></div></div><div class="yiv9296946577encrypted-content" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; text-align: left; float: none;"><div style="margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; float: none; background-image: none;"><b>Don Meyer</b></div></div><div
