Let’s hear it for un-American nonsense!! [The Questionable Authority]
November 30th, 2007 Posted by: admin
Apparently, the Virginia Republican Party has been getting nostalgic for the good old days at the end of the Cold War. You remember those days, right? Ronald Reagan was saying things like, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” and “we begin bombing in five minutes” . Ollie North was sitting in front of Congress and claiming to have the memory of a repeatedly concussed goldfish. And the Republicans looked likely to hold onto the White House forever. Given present circumstances, it’s easy to see why the Virginia GOP might be getting a wee bit nostalgic. Unfortunately, in their enthusiasm to channel some of that good old Cold War mojo, they seem to have somehow forgotten just which side they’re supposed to be on:
The State Board of Elections on Monday approved a state Republican Party request to require all who apply for a GOP primary ballot first vow in writing that they’ll vote for the party’s presidential nominee next fall.
That’s right folks, from the party that claims to have won the Cold War for us, we now get Party Loyalty Oaths!!! Let’s hear it for good old un-American nonsense!!!
