In reading the entire, original article there is not a single quote by a named individual in opposition to the pledge. While the headline of the article is sensational, it is not a fair representation of anything whatsoever. In fact, the article is essentially about nothing save the author’s opinion, which he of course has every right to express. The unfortunate result is the use to which it - the headline - is used as a club to bash the effort of the House GOP, as brand-newbie GOPavenger33 has done with this post.
As for The Pledge itself, it’s a workable start and a practical political document. When the new congress is seated our vigilance will be essential for the survival of the Republic.
amen
Now that is one of the best lines in this entire thread... as long as "The People" stay engaged and don't go back to the sports channel or entertainment tonight, the Republic may yet be pulled from the flames.
We’re all entitled to our opinion.
So you think the author is lying when he says he has interviewed people on the Hill?
I know lots of conservatives who don't like this document. So, I consider it to be very much representative.
House staffers almost never allow themselves to be named as sources, by the way.
