I think this is just a sign of things to come. The Kansas Republican Party is creating a loyalty committee to "discipline" officers who support Democrats.

This weekend, state committee members amended the party's constitution. It now says that any officer who publicly endorses or contributes to a Democrat can be stripped of his or her office.

The committee's decisions can be appealed to the state committee. The change won't take effect until the end of next January, when the party has its annual Kansas Days convention.

Backers of the change say party officers shouldn't be helping Democrats.

Why would you need to amend the party's constitution to make provisions for things like this? Perhaps it's because (gasp!) even GOP party officials aren't supporting GOP lines? Maybe some of these party officials want to support Democrats? Maybe Democrats are making sense in Kansas?

Maybe the Republican party no longer makes sense?
