To the Editor:

The GOP is, and has been, government for grownups.

Historically, the two-party system served America well. Each party served to provide a check on the political influence and power of the other party. This period in American history was characterized by moderates in each party. The moderates in each party not only kept the campaign discourse civil but they also provided a type of communication that could eventually lead to grudgingly accepted compromise for each political party.
