GOP's Pledge for Nov 2

The head of the Ohio Democratic Party is brushing off his description of Tea Partiers and other opponents of President Obama's health care law as "f--kers."


The United Farm Workers announced that Stephan Colbert will testify Friday before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law.

So yes, I’m sure that no matter how difficult the times are, our pols are still taking the whole thing very seriously.

But help is on the way. Today the Republican Party released its “Pledge to America.” There is much in this 21 page document to be hopeful about. Not the least of which is these gems from the preamble pages.

In a self-governing society, the only bulwark against the power of the state is the consent of the governed, and regarding the policies of the current government, the governed do not consent.


An unchecked executive, a compliant legislature, and an overreaching judiciary have combined to thwart the will of the people and overturn their votes and their values, striking down long-standing laws and institutions and scorning the deepest beliefs of the American people.


An arrogant and out-of-touch government of self-appointed elites makes decisions, issues mandates, and enacts laws without accepting or requesting the input of the many.

Go the GOP Pledge to America and read the whole thing.
