Swearing Allegiance To The Pledge
by digby
I don’t think I need to ask what’s wrong with this picture.
The pledge is one of the lamest political documents ever written. It makes the Perot vote bait, the Contract For America, look like the Declaration of Independence by comparison. It’s a testament to just how wounded the party establishment really is — they would have been better off letting the Maine Tea Party write it. It may be radical but at least it was intelligible. This one might as well say, “if you loved George W. Bush, you’re going to love the new Republican majority.”
But then, this election isn’t really about them. It’s all about teabags and secret Muslims and scary socialists bailing out Big banks. Making sense would only hurt the ball club.
