LETTER: Is blind party loyalty a good thing?

I had a laugh reading the Thursday letter to the Review-Journal from Ron Wasak, who castigated Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson for supporting the re-election of Gov. Joe Lombardo, who was a member of a different political party. According to Mr. Wasak, when an individual joins a political party, that individual forfeits his or her right to express support for a candidate who wears a different political hat.

It is my belief that our country would be far better off politically if all members of the political parties were free to express their support of whomever they personally choose rather than being told who to support. I applaud Mr. Wolfson for backing the candidate he thought best for the job rather than being cowed by his or any other political party.

Loyalty is commendable, but blind loyalty to party affiliation is dangerous.
