Keith Ellison (of Quran swearing in fame) redux
Virgil B. Goode, a GOP representative from Virginia, pulled of this particular piece of brilliance:

If you read Goode's full letter you can see how he blames all of this on Bill Clinton!

So, lemme get this straight. He states that if we stop all immigration, that would keep the nation from falling under Sharia law. How does that reconcile with the fact that Ellison was born and raised in the US?

I don't need to read any further than "Republican from Virginia". All I need to know is in those 3 words; that the guy probably nailed his sister against the gun-rack of his 82 Ford pickup.

After the 2006 GOP election losses, a split seemed to emerge concerning the reason that they lost, which some people saying that they pulled too far to the right and alienated the moderates, and others saying that they had tacked too far to the middle and lost their "conservative values."
This statement (assuming that it is not renounced by GOP leadership) may be an indication that the GOP has decided that the 2006 election losses were a function of them getting too far away from conservative values and the beginnings of an attempt to re-establish themselves as the party of the unflinching, uncompromising right wing. |

I feel like I've heard that somewhere before. It certainly sounds like the democrats after the 2000, 2002, and 2004 elections.

It's not quite that bad: 1) George Allen lost in his senatorial bid 2) There hasn't been a Republican governor since Jim Gilmore--his would-be successors all tried to run as George Allen wanns-bes, and lost 3) The most prominent Republican politician in the state, Sen. John Warner, is a classy guy, one of the last independent-minded statesman left. Granted, a lot of the local reps. (like Virgil Goode) conform to the popular image, but Virginia is on the cusp of becoming a purple state and a bellweather like Ohio and Michigan, all on account of the growth of the Washington, DC suburbs and immigration from the northeast.
