  • Batt: 'If Backing Equal Protection Makes Me a RINO, So Be
    Batt: ‘If backing equal protection makes me a RINO, so be it’ BY PHILIP E. BATT Former Idaho Gov. Phil Batt delivered these remarks Wednesday evening at the Canyon County Lincoln Day Banquet in Nampa. This year marks the 20th anniversary of my inauguration as governor, the first Idaho Republican governor in the previous 20 years. Our party was becoming resurgent during that period. But it followed many years of floundering around trying to find itself. Fifty-one years ago, in 1964, our Canyon County organization urged me to run for the Legislature, and I gave it a shot — staying with it until being elected governor in 1994. But Republicans were not always strong. In 1984 Democrats held three state offices. By 1990, the Idaho Senate was tied 21 each with Lt. Gov. Butch Otter breaking the ties. After serving in both bodies of the Legislature and as lieutenant governor, I ran against Gov. John Evans (1982) and was narrowly defeated. I then volunteered to be state party chairman. I toured the state for months organizing, organizing. Our appeal was that we welcomed all as long as they wanted limited, economical government. We filed for nearly every slot. We won big time, and we have won ever since. But our appeal has recently changed, and I think we will pay a price for it. Now, we must declare our allegiance to party principles in order to vote in the Republican primary. These principles are supposedly set by the state convention and include such things as going back to the gold standard or having our Legislature choose our candidates for the U.S.
