LETTER: Republicans are sore losers

GOP sore losers in Ritz-Bennett race

And you wonder what's wrong with this country.

Just check out the remarks made by the Republican Party in response to the win of State School Superintendent Glenda Ritz.

Per your report in the paper today, the Republicans are outlining strategies to keep Ritz from reversing policies she campaigned against during the elections.

Is this really what you call working across political lines? She was elected by the people for her views and beliefs and they are going to block her every step of the way, by their own words and because they didn't get their way, they are thinking of eliminating the position from elected to appointed.

What is wrong with these people? This is why this country is in trouble now.

They didn't get their way so they are going to act like little kids and sulk in the corner and just not do what everyone wants them to do and that is work together. I am appalled at their attitude and their disrespect for the people of Indiana.

This is not an old boys club where they can just do what they want when they want. If this is their attitude now, they can sure get another one in the next four years when they are voted out.

I agree with Mr. Schnellenberger, the Republicans will ignore Ms. Ritz to the point that she will not be able to do her job.

They should be ashamed.
