Fresh from their defeat in the NY 23rd Congressional District, the RNC is happily at work crafting their latest fantasy and sticking Ronald Reagan's name all over it, as if that confers sacred status and certain vote getting. Amazing for its stupidity. Simply amazing. The RNC comes up with it's version of "Back to the Future" starring Ronald Reagan's memory. Truth is, neither Reagan nor the idiot G. W. Bush would pass the GOP Purity Pledge, that's the twisted beauty of this latest execrable piece of GOP hypocrisy.
Item #1 of the GOP Purity Pledge calls for GOP candidates to support: "Smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes." Reagan FAILED on all four legs of this lame elephantine joke. The idiot Bush failed outright on all four, though he cut taxes in 2001, he did it with red ink and the deficits he left are a form of higher tax in that we're gonna pay that bill later and pay double for it by the time all the interest on that debt is added to the principal.
Item #5 of the GOP Purity Pledge calls for GOP candidates to support: "Legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants." Hell, it was a massive FAIL by Reagan who gladly gave amnesty to 6M illegals in 1986. I recall the lines of people that went clear around the local INS office as people lined up to apply for amnesty. The idiot Bush did nothing but turn a blind eye to the problem.
Source, MSNBC. Click to see all ten planks in the GOP stupidity pledge. These GOP guys haven't a clue. None. A race to the bottom.
come'on, cant you give a better source than the liberally biased msnbc?
I hear they are going to add that they will ignore drug abuse among leading members of the GOP such as Limbaugh, Cindy McCain, while seeking harsher terms for everyone else.

Are you seriously suggesting that there's something factually incorrect with the information? Have you been in a cave for the past week since this information came out? You really went to the trouble to post to this thread, just so you could whine about MSNBC -- you have nothing of substance on the actual topic to add?
Because the democratic party is really a "big Tent" party they traditionally have a real problem agreeing on anything. It is evident in the current health care debate. Because there are so many different democratic interests and platforms they have to deal with, nothing gets done due to lack of agreement. A very dangerous political situation if you want to get re-elected.
If the republicans just sat down and shut up they would be able to sweep the elections even if they ran Mickey Mouse. But nooooo, they have to throw out a bunch of loud mouthed spokespersons and come up with a loyalty pledge to purge the party of anyone who is not in lock step with a very narrow agenda. In my opinion, they are shooting themselves in the foot and actually figuring out how to lose rather than how to win.
The GOP tent--a small "pup" tent designed for two people- usually a bitter, middle-aged "tea-bagger", and his Stepford, stay-at-home wife; usually located behind a gated community, and although technically available in all colors, customers usually find only shades of white.
