Dear editor;
Mr. Bela “Bill” Suhayda makes a lot of allegations in his commentary in the December 10 Reader’s Commentary of The Voice, “Democratic Party change dismantles” (thevoice.us/democratic-party-change-dismantles) but much of what he writes sounds just like something off an internet blog or a crackpot radio station. In other words, it sounds just like hooey.
Mr. Suhayda claims that the Democrats intend to “ignore the Constitution” and make the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico new states. He further states that they will pack the U.S. Supreme Court with enough judges so they can control it and pass anything they want into law.
This nightmarish scenario might have me worried if Mr. Suhayda cited some credible sources, but he mentions no sources at all.
I will agree with Mr. Suhayda that the current Democratic Party is not what the Democratic Party was in the 1960s, when John F. Kennedy was president. I would hope that Mr. Suhayda would agree with me that the current Republican Party is not the same party as when George Bush, either George Bush, was in office.
Of the two parties, I have seen a much more dramatic change in the Republican Party.
