Republicans solve credibility crisis by advancing political witch hunt.

It seems that everyone that runs our government has the intelligence of a 3 year old child… a child who has been in a coma for the last 2 years of its life.

That just may be an understatement as well.

In a bizarre move to “sniff out” worthy conservative politicians,  Republican leaders have released a set of ideals that they feel every politician must ascribe to if they wish to have any political backing from the RNC. The political resolution reads like a spoiled child’s response to a firm punishment, one they justly deserved. While I would gladly agree that Obama has been a lack luster leader, he is in no way a socialist. The only socialism that Obama supports is the same corporate socialism that Bush and the Republicans practiced for the past 8 years.

It must be wonderful to have so little integrity and no sense of history. I can only imagine the shit one can get away with when you are able to forget about it moments later.

The “Proposed RNC Resolution on Reagan’s Unity Principle for Support of Candidates” follows:

WHEREAS, President Ronald Reagan believed that the Republican Party should support and espouse conservative principles and public policies; and

WHEREAS, President Ronald Reagan also believed the Republican Party should welcome those with diverse views; and

WHEREAS, President Ronald Reagan believed, as a result, that someone who agreed with him 8 out of 10 times was his friend, not his opponent; and

WHEREAS, Republican faithfulness to its conservative principles and public policies and Republican solidarity in opposition to Obama’s socialist agenda is necessary to preserve the security of our country, our economic and political freedoms, and our way of life; and

WHEREAS, Republican faithfulness to its conservative principles and public policies is necessary to restore the trust of the American people in the Republican Party and to lead to Republican electoral victories; and

WHEREAS, the Republican National Committee shares President Ronald Reagan’s belief that the Republican Party should espouse conservative principles and public policies and welcome persons of diverse views; and

WHEREAS, the Republican National Committee desires to implement President Reagan’s Unity Principle for Support of Candidates; and

WHEREAS, in addition to supporting candidates, the Republican National Committee provides financial support for Republican state and local parties for party building and federal election activities, which benefits all candidates and is not affected by this resolution; and

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Republican National Committee identifies ten (10) key public policy positions for the 2010 election cycle, which the Republican National Committee expects its public officials and candidates to support:

(1) We support smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama’s “stimulus” bill;

(2) We support market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run healthcare;

(3) We support market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;

(4) We support workers’ right to secret ballot by opposing card check;

(5) We support legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;

(6) We support victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;

(7) We support containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat;

(8) We support retention of the Defense of Marriage Act;

(9) We support protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing, denial of health care and government funding of abortion; and

(10) We support the right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership; and be further

RESOLVED, that a candidate who disagrees with three or more of the above stated public policy positions of the Republican National Committee, as identified by the voting record, public statements and/or signed questionnaire of the candidate, shall not be eligible for financial support and endorsement by the Republican National Committee; and be further

RESOLVED, that upon the approval of this resolution the Republican National Committee shall deliver a copy of this resolution to each of Republican members of Congress, all Republican candidates for Congress, as they become known, and to each Republican state and territorial party office.

Now, obviously I have a lot of questions about this “resolution.” Let’s tackle them, shall we?

How does one support a ‘small government’ that stays out of our personal lives, while you actively petition the government to interfere in the private lives of its citizens? A small and liberty loving government cares not about gay marriage.

Where was all of this fiscal responsibility when they lied their way into two wars? Where was the concern for financial accountability when they ran up our countries largest debt, IN HISTORY?

How would a “market based’ solution to our energy policy work? As it stands now, this free market approach is demonstrated when big oil shuts down alternative energy sources and climate change evidence, by using all of the money they gained from said market. Allowing a market based solution to the energy problem is akin to asking a child molester to babysit and keep an eye on his sexual proclivity.

Market based heath care reform? See above.

Who doesn’t support victory in Iraq or Afghanistan? The question is, how does one acquire said victory and what does victory entail? Claiming you support victory in a war is like claiming you support your right to win the lottery. Once again, plenty of pretty words and talking points, no solutions.

Nuclear weapons are definitely an issue in the evolving world, but how do you talk of controlling them without bringing up your own personal nuclear weapon stockpiles? Stockpiles you are opposed to decreasing.

Defense of Marriage. Ban divorce, outlaw cheating and require all marriages to be religious in nature. Otherwise this is utter nonsense and another talking point.

I wont even bother wasting my time with the last health care point, especially considering Republicans have done nothing to extend coverage to those who are unable to afford it. It’s hard to considering yourself anything but “denied” health care, when health care is too expensive to purchase.

My advice?

Change the name of your party to, “The national party of men who wish they could have fucked Ronald Reagan, but were too busy ruining the country to do so.”

If you are a Republican, your party is a mess and until you ask for something else, you are responsible for this nonsense.
