Scott’s GOP defection comes as no surprise

“Cal Scott crosses party lines to endorse Democrat as successor,” read the headline.

And are we surprised? Some of us, who did our research, knew all along Cal Scott was not a Republican. When we “dared” question his participation at “Occupy Wall Street” protests, we were vehemently attacked. 

Cal Scott’s handlers even tried to remove the undersigned from her position as “president of the Flathead County Republican Women.” I received countless e-mails asking me how I “dared” to pose this question. After all, we, as Republicans, should all stick together and support each other. 

Well, absolutely, we as Republicans should all stick together and support Phil Mitchell for our next county commissioner. —Caroline Solomon, Bigfork
