Fitzgerald grouses about the GOP

There's an article on retiring Sen. Peter Fitzgerald (R) in the Sunday Tribune. For all of his complaining, I have to say he's right about one thing:

"The Republican Party cannot survive if we are not perceived as the more ethical party," because Democrats have a strong numerical advantage in the state, Fitzgerald said. "We have to throw the money changers out of our party, and its leadership must come from the ranks of those who are in politics for principled reasons."

The exception being Alan Keyes, who uses principles to fuel himself right into the stratosphere.
